Krea2 FP8

Krea 2 OSS - Optimized FP8 Weights (Turbo)

This repository provides an optimized FP8 (float8_e4m3fn) weight-only quantized version of the newly released Krea 2 OSS (Turbo) transformer.

This optimization reduces the model size from the original 24.76 GiB (BF16) down to 12.01 GiB, making it highly accessible and runnable on standard consumer hardware (such as 16GB and 24GB GPUs) without sacrificing output quality.

🛠️ Quantization Details (Quality-First FP8)

Unlike generic global quantization scripts that aggressively convert every parameter (which often degrades generation details or introduces NaN/promotion calculation errors in neural networks), this model was quantized using a selective weight-only strategy:

1. Targeted Quantization: Only 2D floating-point weight matrices (.weight keys with ndim >= 2 and element count > 1024) were quantized to torch.float8_e4m3fn.
2. Preserved Precision:
   • All 1D vectors, biases, and normalization scales are kept in their native high-precision (float32 / bfloat16).
   • Highly sensitive projection/modulation layers (such as LastLayer.modulation.lin vectors) are completely preserved in high-precision. This prevents typical mathematical promotion bugs (such as BFloat16 and Float8 promotion issues in PyTorch) and retains original output fidelity.
3. Weight Comparison:
   • Tensors Quantized to FP8: 266 tensors.
   • Tensors Kept in Native Precision: 166 tensors.
   • Size Reduction: 24.76 GiB ➔ 12.01 GiB (~51.5% VRAM / disk savings!).
