How to use locally downloaded models with the demo.ipynb?

[syddharth]

I get this error when I set model_ckpt = "G:\stablediffusion_source\models\Stable-diffusion\realistic\reliberate_v10.safetensors"

HFValidationError: Repo id must use alphanumeric chars or '-', '_', '.', '--' and '..' are forbidden, '-' and '.' cannot start or end the name, max length is 96: 'G:/stablediffusion'.

This seems to be an issue with the diffusers library, which seems to be unable to handle local files and requires the checkpoint to be on the HF hub. You can try to find your checkpoint on HF or upload it yourself.

I don’t know if they’ve fixed it in more recent versions, so you could also try updating diffusers, although we’ve not tested FABRIC on that and there might be compatibility issues.
