# RealVisXL V5.0 — MLX pre-quantized tiers
Pre-quantized, packed-load tiers of [SG161222/RealVisXL_V5.0](https://huggingface.co/SG161222/RealVisXL_V5.0)
for on-device Apple-Silicon inference with [SceneWorks / `mlx-gen`](https://github.com/SceneWorks/mlx-gen)
(the `sdxl` generator). Each tier is a **self-contained diffusers turnkey snapshot** (U-Net + both
CLIP text encoders + VAE + tokenizers + scheduler + `model_index.json`) that loads directly — no
in-app quantization pass, no dense transient.
RealVisXL V5.0 is a photoreal SDXL finetune (openrail++, commercial-OK, ungated). Same architecture
as SDXL base: dual CLIP-L + OpenCLIP-bigG text encoders, real classifier-free guidance + negative
prompt, sdxl-family LoRA support. ~30 steps at guidance 7.0, native 1024×1024.
## Tiers
| dir | precision | what's quantized |
|----------|-----------|------------------|
| `q4/` (default) | group-wise affine Q4, group size 64 | U-Net Linears + both CLIP encoders |
| `q8/` | group-wise affine Q8, group size 64 | U-Net Linears + both CLIP encoders |
| `bf16/` | dense (full-precision master) | nothing — verbatim source mirror |
The **VAE stays dense (f32)** in every tier — the SDXL VAE is int8/fp16-unstable, so it is never
quantized. Convolutions, GroupNorms, and the CLIP token/position embeddings also stay dense (gather
lookups and convs, not matmuls); only the true Linear projections are packed.
Quantization is byte-identical to `mlx-gen`'s load-time `nn.quantize` (bf16 cast, group 64), so a
tier loaded here matches an in-app-quantized dense checkpoint bit-for-bit.
## Usage
```rust
use mlx_gen::{LoadSpec, WeightsSource, Quant};
let spec = LoadSpec::new(WeightsSource::Dir("…/realvisxl-mlx/q4".into())).with_quant(Quant::Q4);
let g = mlx_gen::load("sdxl", &spec)?;
```
