Is there a way to run it on Vulkan?
No. Sadly, NVIDIA killed any kind of compute via Vulkan. I took few minutes to try to make it work on ROCm (AMD's alternative to CUDA), landed in python dependency hell.
What do you mean? They are the ones introducing the matmul extensions to Vulkan, which makes compute like this possible
Does anyone ever get their stuff to actually work. Like actually load?

Twenty years ago, I don't think any of us were excited about a future internet where we couldn't trust whether what we were seeing or reading was genuine. I hope one day we'll be able to look back on this era as an aberration, like that scene in Mad Men where the Drapers fling their picnic rubbish onto the grass and drive away.
Twenty years ago my teachers were telling me not to use Wikipedia because you can't trust anything on the internet. You should never date someone you met through an app or website because they are 100% murderers. "The internet is for porn". Things have a way of improving over time, and people always overestimate societal risks of new tech in the beginning.
Not saying that tech is inherently evil, these could have been prevented, but to me it seems we have underestimated the social risks and failed to regulate accordingly.

Young girls suicides, Brexit&Trump (post-truth politics, general democratic decline), demographic catastrophe, obesity crisis are often partially attributed to social media.

Genuine question: is this solving a real problem? IME, the bottleneck when using diffusion models isn't storage space or memory, it's generation time. Lots of models will run on 8-12 GB 1080-generation GPUs onwards, or on Macs with similar memory, which are probably the bottom end from a GPU power perspective anyway. I also note that these models are marginally slower than the small FLUX.2 model they're based on. Oka…

Sure, you could theoretically take a model compressed in this manner and deploy it on an old netbook and run the calculations on the CPU, but each image would probably take an hour…

Aberration? That seems like an extreme overreaction.
I don't know what else you'd call the widespread and enthusiastic adoption of a technology that is designed to exploit people's trust in the veracity of images by mimicking reality as seamlessly as possible. I think it's both aberrant and abhorrent for the tech industry to be actively developing something that's permanently polluting our information environment. Here's a local story published after I made my comment,…
Now images have gone back to being like a book. People are beginning to assume anyone can write anything, make up quotes, etc. We still get to keep the ones we just like or the ones we know were really that way (e.g. your wedding vows/wedding photos) but we've dropped this silly notion image=fact just because it's an image. It's not all good that faking an image has gotten consistently easier over the last 100 years, but it's also not bad that it's fallen apart enough people are seeing through it.

Motivated actors have been able to doctor, fake, or spin media content since time immemorial. But peoples default mode was to trust what they saw. Now that fake imagery is ubiquitous, maybe we'll all get a bit more skeptical.

I think it may turn out postive; That the less we are able to take images and video at face value the better.
