I had no idea this took so much VRAM

fwiw, an update I didn’t see before:

I did some experiments, 16GB should be doable right now with just weight unloading, so the comfy workflow should just work.

It’s still huge and restrictive to consumer GPUs, although that’s already reduced by 1/3, and optimistically they could be right about this number going down as optimizations happen (see the Mochi quote).

I assumed it was around SDXL in size.

I just assumed that since AuraFlow is competing with FLUX and SD3.5 that it would be closer to them. Honestly Pony v6 will probably be alive and active until higher VRAM GPUs become more and more normal.
