TokForge — DreamShaper 8 LCM · CoreML 6-bit (Apple Neural Engine)

A 6-bit palettized Apple CoreML conversion of DreamShaper 8 LCM (Lykon/dreamshaper-8-lcm, Lykons SD-1.5 DreamShaper 8 finetuned for Latent Consistency few-step sampling), built for on-device image generation in the TokForge iOS app. Converted with Apple ml-stable-diffusion (torch2coreml) using SPLIT_EINSUM_V2 attention and --quantize-nbits 6 (6-bit palettized weights), so it compiles fast on the Apple Neural Engine — the fast slot in the TokForge model set.

Part of the TokForge iOS · CoreML Image Models collection.

The Resources/ tree holds the compiled .mlmodelc models plus the CLIP vocab.json + merges.txt — the exact layout Apples StableDiffusionPipeline (and the TokForge installer) loads.

Recommended render settings (LCM)

attention:    split_einsum_v2 (Apple Neural Engine)
compute:      .cpuAndNeuralEngine  (palettized -> fast ANE compile)
steps:        10-15  (works with the stock scheduler today; drops to 4-8 once an
                      LCM scheduler ships — apple/ml-stable-diffusion #319)
cfg-scale:    1.5-2.0  (LCM prefers low guidance)
resolution:   512x512  (SD-1.5 native; baked into the compiled model)

How this was built

1. Loaded Lykon/dreamshaper-8-lcm (SD-1.5 diffusers format, LCM-finetuned UNet).
2. Converted UNet + text encoder + VAE decoder + VAE encoder to CoreML with Apple ml-stable-diffusion python_coreml_stable_diffusion.torch2coreml, --attention-implementation SPLIT_EINSUM_V2.
3. Applied 6-bit palettization (--quantize-nbits 6).
4. Bundled the compiled resources for the Swift CLI (--bundle-resources-for-swift-cli).

Conversion peaked at ~9.9 GB RAM (no --chunk-unet needed). Runs on iOS 17+ (6-bit palettized weights require the iOS-17 ANE runtime); on iOS-16 the app falls back to an FP16 model.
