ComfyUI Node: Step1X-Edit TeaCache Model Loader (2x faster)

Step1X-Edit TeaCache Model Loader (2x faster):

The Step1XEditTeaCacheModelLoader is a specialized node designed to facilitate the loading of the Step1X-Edit model components with the acceleration benefits of TeaCache. This node is integral for AI artists who wish to leverage advanced model loading techniques to enhance their creative workflows. By utilizing TeaCache, the node optimizes the model loading process, potentially increasing speed and efficiency while maintaining a balance with quality. The primary goal of this node is to streamline the integration of diffusion models, variational autoencoders (VAEs), and text encoders into your projects, ensuring that these components are loaded efficiently and effectively. This node is particularly beneficial for those looking to achieve faster model execution times without compromising on the quality of the generated outputs.

Step1X-Edit TeaCache Model Loader (2x faster) Input Parameters:

diffusion_model

This parameter specifies the diffusion model to be loaded. It is crucial for defining the core model that will be used in the editing process. The available options are derived from the list of diffusion models in your system, with a default value of step1x-edit-i1258-FP8.safetensors. Selecting the appropriate diffusion model can significantly impact the style and quality of the output.

vae

The vae parameter determines which variational autoencoder model to use. VAEs are essential for encoding and decoding data, and choosing the right one can affect the detail and fidelity of the output. The default option is vae.safetensors, and you can select from the available VAE models in your system.

text_encoder

This parameter allows you to choose the text encoder model, which is responsible for processing textual input into a format that the model can understand. The default text encoder is Qwen2.5-VL-7B-Instruct, and it is selected from the list of text encoders available in your system. The choice of text encoder can influence how well the model interprets and generates text-based content.

dtype

The dtype parameter specifies the data type for model computations, with options including bfloat16, float16, and float32. The default is bfloat16, which offers a balance between performance and precision. The choice of data type can affect the speed and memory usage of the model.

quantized

This boolean parameter indicates whether the model should be quantized, which can reduce the model size and increase loading speed. The default value is True, meaning quantization is enabled by default. Quantization can lead to faster execution but may slightly affect the model's precision.

offload

The offload parameter is a boolean that determines whether model components should be offloaded to the CPU when not in use. The default is False, meaning components remain on the GPU for faster access. Offloading can save GPU memory but may introduce latency when components are needed again.

teacache_threshold

This parameter sets the threshold for TeaCache acceleration, with options like 0.25, 0.4, 0.6, and 0.8. The default is 0.6, which is recommended for a 2x speedup. Higher values can increase speed but may result in quality loss, so it's important to choose a threshold that balances speed and quality for your needs.

verbose

The verbose parameter is a boolean that controls whether detailed output is provided during model loading. The default is False, meaning minimal output is shown. Enabling verbose output can be helpful for debugging or understanding the model loading process in detail.
