# **gguf quantized version of illustrious (test pack)**

### **setup (in general)**
- drag gguf file(s) to diffusion_models folder (./ComfyUI/models/diffusion_models)
- drag clip or encoder(s), i.e., illustrious_g_clip and illustrious_l_clip, to text_encoders folder (./ComfyUI/models/text_encoders)
- drag vae decoder(s), i.e., vae, to illustrious_vae folder (./ComfyUI/models/vae)

### **run it straight (no installation needed way)**
- get the comfy pack with the new gguf-node ([beta](https://github.com/calcuis/gguf/releases))
- run the .bat file in the main directory

### **workflow**
- drag any workflow json file to the activated browser; or
- drag any generated output file (i.e., picture, video, etc.; which contains the workflow metadata) to the activated browser

### **review**
- use tag/word(s) as input for more accurate results for those legacy models; not very convenient (compare to the recent models) at the very beginning
- credits should be given to those contributors from civitai platform
- good to run on old machines, i.e., 9xx series or before (legacy mode [--disable-cuda-malloc --lowvram] supported); compatible with the new gguf-node
