Training on a SD20 768-trained CKPT

[SAC020]

Hi,

If I've trained a ckpt on SD20 760, in order to re-train on top of it for a second iteration (I don't mean to resume the session, I mean to use it as the "base" ckpt instead of base SD20) do I have to tick the v2_model tick box in the model load section, or select 2.0 768 from the dropdown list?

Or do I simply provide the path to my ckpt without any other selections?

There is no script to convert the V2 ckpt for now, use the session cell to load it.

If I use the session cell to load it, do I have to also tick "resume session"? I'd like to use it as the baseline, not continue to train it vs SD

[TheLastBen]

if you load the session and tick the box resume_training, is exactly the same as using the ckpt as a base model.
and since the V2 ckpt can't be converted for now, you don't have a choice but to use the session cell, which more convenient since it also loads the instance and reg images.

I tried skipping the "load model" section and reloading the session to resume training, and I get this

Loading session with no previous model, using the original model or the custom downloaded model
No model found, use the "Model Download" cell to download a model.

[TheLastBen]

There is no saved model in that session

I apologise but I do not understand what I should do different (hopefully not having to re-start the training)

What I did:

Step 1. Trained a model on SD20 768 by selecting "V2-768px" and ticking the "V2_model", did not fill any other fields. The training worked fine and produced a usable CKPT

The resulting folder structure is:

Step 2. I want to resume training the model. According to instructions, I have not touched the "model download", went straight to create session, specified the same instance name, and it returns the error above

What should I do differently?

Thx

Just to double check it's still not implemented, because I am getting this when trying to load a v2 CKPT

There are a lot of commits, I am not sure which is supposed to fix what, hence asking

[TheLastBen]

you need to choose the right version

[SAC020]

Ok... how do I choose the right version?

[TheLastBen]

that model was probably trained before the recent conversion correction, so that's why it's causing the issue, but from now on, any model should work just fine

[SAC020]

ok, I will start a new model, then

[SAC020]

Now I'm getting a new error when trying to resume a SD20 768 session

(sorry for not copy-pasting the error but for some reason it won't copy the text)

Deleted the CKPT from the session folder, getting the same output
