How do I run non-base Flux models?

[gruevy]

I can get the base flux models to run just fine. Very simple, they work out of the box. For non-base Flux models I've been told I need to manually select the following in the VAE box:

ae.safetensors (which is just a renamed ae.sft, i guess?)
clip_l.safetensors
t5xxl_fp16.safetensors

The UI keeps crashing on me with no errors. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong. I'm trying to use the latest version of this: https://civitai.com/models/141592?modelVersionId=992642

Here's my settings:

Any tips? This happened last time I tried a custom flux model, too.

Maybe change your swap location to shared and lower your GPU weight (try 17-18000). Should be fine as I can run the same model with just 8GB of VRAM.

Tried that, still not working. Glad to know it's possible, though. If it's nothing obvious, I might just have to reinstall

Do you not see any error messages in the command window? I'm literally running it right now, only difference is I'm using FP8 version of the model as the T5xxl-fp8 text encoder

Well I got it working now. I used the fp8 encoder like you did, and that didn't work. Played around and discovered that it works if I turn my GPU weight down to 8gb. It's slow, and it feels dirty having a 4090 and only using 8gb of ram, but it works. Not sure why. But thanks for the solution!
