how to run flux on your 16gb potato

I never got an answer so I gave up on LoRA support.

you need to add lora before quantizing

In my case, qfloat8 works well on V100. But 4090 needs qfloat8_e5m2, don't really know the reson tho :)

My generated image looks like this. what is the issue with the script?

I got a similar result on my rtx4060ti (ubuntu), using qfloat8_e5m2 instead of qfloat8 solved it for me (not sure why).
