When generating images with fp8_e4_m3 Flux and batch size >1, using --fast, ComfyUI throws a "view size is not compatible with input tensor's size and stride" error pointing at the first of these two calls to view.
As reshape is semantically equivalent to view except for working on a broader set of inputs, there should be no downside to changing this. The only difference is that it clones the underlying data in cases where .view would error out. I have confirmed that the output still looks as expected, but cannot confirm that no mutable use is made of the tensors anywhere.
Note that --fast is only marginally faster than the default.
Optimizations that might break things/lower quality will be put behind
this flag first and might be enabled by default in the future.
Currently the only optimization is float8_e4m3fn matrix multiplication on
4000/ADA series Nvidia cards or later. If you have one of these cards you
will see a speed boost when using fp8_e4m3fn flux for example.
Control loras are controlnets where some of the weights are stored in
"lora" format: an up and a down low rank matrice that when multiplied
together and added to the unet weight give the controlnet weight.
This allows a much smaller memory footprint depending on the rank of the
matrices.
These controlnets are used just like regular ones.
