# SeedVR2-7B-sharp (MLX) β int8
|
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
+
Runtime-agnostic **int8-quantized** MLX-format weights for **SeedVR2-7B-sharp**, the **sharp** variant of ByteDance's one-step diffusion **super-resolution / restoration** model (ICLR 2026) β tuned for stronger detail sharpening, for on-device upscaling on Apple Silicon.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
+
Not tied to any single package β these load into:
|
| 22 |
+
- [`mflux`](https://github.com/filipstrand/mflux) (Python MLX, actively maintained; also the parity reference these weights were validated against),
|
| 23 |
+
- [`seedvr2-mlx-swift`](https://github.com/xocialize/seedvr2-mlx-swift) (MLX-Swift; **archived/read-only since Jun 2026** but functional β MIT-licensed and forkable),
|
| 24 |
+
- or any MLX code that reconstructs the same module tree (see **Format notes** below).
|
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
+
fp16 base: [`SeedVR2-7B-sharp-mlx`](https://huggingface.co/benc0/SeedVR2-7B-sharp-mlx) Β· standard checkpoint: [`SeedVR2-7B-mlx`](https://huggingface.co/benc0/SeedVR2-7B-mlx) Β· 3B family: [`mlx-community/SeedVR2-3B-mlx`](https://huggingface.co/mlx-community/SeedVR2-3B-mlx)
|
| 27 |
+
|
| 28 |
+
- **Files:** `transformer.safetensors` (DiT, int8, ~8.8 GB vs 16.5 GB fp16) Β· `vae.safetensors` (3D-causal-conv VAE, fp16) Β· `pos_emb.safetensors` (precomputed text embedding) Β· `config.json`.
|
| 29 |
+
- **Architecture (vs 3B):** vid_dim 3072 (2560), 24 heads (20), 36 layers (32), all layers multimodal, plain MLP (SwiGLU), rope_dim 64.
|
| 30 |
+
- **Quality:** int8 `t_out` cosine vs fp16 = **0.9997755** (the sharp fine-tune has heavier-tailed weights than the standard checkpoint's 0.9999481, costing slightly more under group quantization); **end-to-end image vs the fp16 pipeline = 54.9 dB PSNR** (visually lossless β device noise alone measures ~60 dB). Reload round-trip **bit-exact**. (int4 degrades this model family badly β use int8 on-device.)

## Usage β Python (MLX / mflux)
|
| 33 |
+
|
| 34 |
+
```python
|
| 35 |
+
import json, mlx.core as mx, mlx.nn as nn
|
| 36 |
+
from mlx.utils import tree_unflatten
|
| 37 |
+
from mflux.models.seedvr2.model.seedvr2_transformer.transformer import SeedVR2Transformer
|
| 38 |
+
from mflux.models.seedvr2.weights.seedvr2_weight_definition import SeedVR2WeightDefinition
|
| 39 |
+
|
| 40 |
+
cfg = json.load(open("config.json"))
|
| 41 |
+
tx = SeedVR2Transformer(**cfg["transformer_overrides"])
|
| 42 |
+
q = cfg["quantization"] # {"bits": 8, "group_size": 64}
|
| 43 |
+
nn.quantize(tx, group_size=q["group_size"], bits=q["bits"],
|
| 44 |
+
class_predicate=SeedVR2WeightDefinition.quantization_predicate)
|
| 45 |
+
tx.update(tree_unflatten(list(mx.load("transformer.safetensors").items())))
|
| 46 |
+
mx.eval(tx.parameters())
|
| 47 |
+
```
|
| 48 |
+
|
| 49 |
+
The full pipeline (VAE, scheduler, pre/post-processing) lives in mflux: `mflux-upscale-seedvr2 --model seedvr2-7b --image-path input.png --resolution 2x` (note: mflux's built-in downloader fetches the PyTorch source weights and converts on the fly; loading *these* pre-converted files uses the snippet above).
|
| 50 |
+
|
| 51 |
+
## Usage β Swift
|
| 52 |
|
| 53 |
```swift
|
| 54 |
+
import SeedVR2MLX // github.com/xocialize/seedvr2-mlx-swift (archived/read-only, MIT β fork to maintain)
|
| 55 |
let upscaler = try SeedVR2Upscaler(directory: weightsDir) // detects int8 from config, applies quantize on load
|
| 56 |
+
let out = upscaler.upscale(processedImage: img, seed: 42) // [-1,1], dims padded to /16
|
| 57 |
```
|
| 58 |
|

## Format notes (for other MLX runtimes)
|
| 60 |
+
|
| 61 |
+
- **Key naming:** mflux module hierarchy, flattened with `mlx.utils.tree_flatten` (e.g. `blocks.17.attn.proj_qkv_vid.weight`). Deterministic mapping back to ByteDance's original PyTorch names: mflux `src/mflux/models/seedvr2/weights/seedvr2_weight_mapping.py`.
|
| 62 |
+
- **Layouts:** MLX conventions throughout β VAE conv weights are `(O, *K, I)`.
|
| 63 |
+
- **Config:** `config.json["transformer_overrides"]` carries the 7B dims (vid_dim 3072, heads 24, num_layers 36, mm_layers 36, rope_dim 64, β¦) and must be passed to the transformer constructor.
|
| 64 |
+
- **Conditioning:** `pos_emb.safetensors` (58Γ5120, fp16) is the precomputed embedding of the fixed prompt β the text encoder is eliminated from this port, so it is a mandatory `txt` input.
|
| 65 |
+
- **Quantization format:** standard MLX affine group quantization (bits 8, group 64). Each quantized Linear stores packed `weight` (U32) + `scales`/`biases` (F16). Only Linears with in-dim divisible by 64 are quantized β `vid_in.proj` (in-dim 132) and the whole VAE stay fp16. Declared in `config.json` so loaders can rebuild the module structure before `update()`.
