Auto1111 v2.1.10 refuses to load either version of this model for some reason
Same for me
are you running a low vram gpu ? under 8gb ?
No, 24gb A5000. I think it's a SD issue. Ironically, the model runs fine on my GTX 1070 (8gb) at home.
Here's the error it pops, if this means anything to you:

@jesse its giving out two Errors, one is that its not a zip file and other error is pickle.UnpicklingError: could not find MARK, which means your running some errors on your code, I take its a google colab or a amazon aws ?
I believe it's because it's over 7gb. There's a fix for it in the Colab I use (FastBen); not sure how to implement that fix locally.
I've got it working now. Somehow the safetensors version had the .ckpt extension and vice versa.
I have a pruned safetensor version that is 2.2gb if you want to try that
Hi! Thank you for all the wonderful hard work!!! Does it also mean that by downloading this one I can delete all other protogen models? I have all the protogen and remix like a ton of them. LOL!
Thank you!, each protogen model has its own unique signature mix, the only difference is the training data that is kept, its similar to a oveflowing bucket of water.
Thank you for the fast reply!!! I just started to discover Stable Diffusion AI a week ago. Protogen v2.2 was my first model and it blew me away. Like I have just found another world, Thanks to people like yourself! I really appreciate your work!!
You are welcome :) merging models for me is like discovering a new planet, its full of awe and wonder, the same experience goes for the users!
gaining access to those licenses isn't a bonus. Your models are great but please try to avoid Seek and Dreamlike, their licenses are shite and make the models using them in their mixes shite.
but why its a shite? we cant use the outputs?
You're sort of missing some key points in the liscence, it says you CAN commercially use them but only in teams of less than 10. If you're confused just email both Coreco and Dreamlike. Not all dreamlike merges are bad, and not all seek merges are bad :P
have used these on huggingface, Protogen's stuff is amazing.
will there be a pruned tensor?
on my profile if you want;p
SafeTensor on mine, 2.2 gb https://civitai.com/models/59868/pruned-protogen-nova-by-darkstorm2150
Pruned version please? thanks!
on my profile if you want;p
@drfdrai2 hmm, not sure why would anyone want to download the potentially dangerous .ckpt file on your profile... Why not replace it with a safetensors version?
Ill make one that is safetensor and pruned
All the Protogen blends are really good.
If possible, can you also add the smaller 2gb pruned-fp16 safetensor version ?
You can convert it to fp16 model on your own. Just go to the model merge tab in a1111, and select this model, no interpolation, safetensors, and save as floating point 16. This will keep the model the same and convert to fp16 for you. You can then delete the original model.
Actually I made one and its on my profile, 2.2 gb https://civitai.com/models/59868/pruned-protogen-nova-by-darkstorm2150
@PoppingOff Thank you !
I made a Pruned fp16 version which will stay up until DarkStorm makes one for this. You're welcome :)
