Hola!

This week, I've been testing various merging methods and realized that most checkpoints suffer from a damaged Layer 11. This is the reason why they are sometimes incompatible with LoRAs. However, VAEs tend to filter out these issues, or they get ignored if the checkpoint is in FP32.

Since I do everything using my free Google Colab account, I have to be very picky with RAM usage, but luckily, I managed to merge several checkpoints in a short time. (I'm not publishing those, as they are just tests or works in progress).

The main idea behind this project was to merge checkpoints with the damaged Layer 11 and then repair them using NoobAI as a base, since this flaw typically occurs during merging. I wrote a script for this purpose, and I also created a tool that prevents NaN generation in already published checkpoints (just click here).

Here is the recipe:
