How to specify filename in ControlNetModel.from_pretrained()?

[CaledoniaProject]

I'm trying to load https://huggingface.co/thibaud/controlnet-openpose-sdxl-1.0/tree/main with diffusers pipeline

controlnet = ControlNetModel.from_pretrained(
    "thibaud/controlnet-openpose-sdxl-1.0", 
    torch_dtype=torchDtype
).to(device)

It defaults to pickle file, but I wanted to load OpenPoseXL2.safetensors instead. How can I specify the filename?

Hi, to be able load diffusers controlnets with from_pretrained() they need to have the correct naming, that means it should be diffusion_pytorch_model.safetensors like for example, in this repository. This means that probably that model file is not in the diffusers format and in the single file format which you can try to load using from_single_file().

If it doesn't work, you should ask the author what's the format of that file and if it's a diffusers format one, you can ask them to name it accordingly.

Understood, the name is deducted from the repo name, can't be changed during method call.
