| # ACE Step1.5XL_TurboSFT_Merge_50-50 – Multi-Format (FP16 / FP8 / NVFP4) |
| |
| Welcome to this repository! Here you will find a merged model of **ACE-Step 1.5 XL Turbo** and **ACE-Step 1.5 XL SFT** audio model in various quantization formats, optimized for different VRAM requirements—especially for use in **ComfyUI**. |
| |
| ## 📌 Original Model & Credits |
| This repository is a repack/merge based on the fantastic work of the ACE-Step team. |

| ## 📂 Available Formats |
| Choose the format that best fits your hardware: |
| |
| ### 1. FP16 (16-Bit Half Precision) |
| * **File Extension:** `.safetensors` (or marked accordingly) |
| * **Description:** The uncompressed version. Offers the absolute highest audio quality but also requires the most VRAM. Ideal for high-end GPUs. |
| |
| ### 2. FP8 (8-Bit Quantization) |
| * **File Extension:** `*fp8.safetensors` |
| * **Description:** The perfect sweet spot. Halves the VRAM requirement compared to FP16 while keeping the audio quality nearly identical to the original. Highly recommended for most users. |
| |
| ### 3. NVFP4 (4-Bit Quantization) 🚀 |
| * **File Extension:** `*nvfp4.safetensors` |
| * **Description:** An extremely compressed version for minimal VRAM usage. |
| * **Important Technical Note:** Converting DiT audio models to 4-bit is highly experimental. To preserve audio quality and completely prevent the `Input tensor must be contiguous` crash in ComfyUI, critical sensitive layers (such as `bias`, `norm`, `embed_tokens`, `timbre_encoder`, `project_in`, and `quantizer`) were **not** quantized and intentionally left in `bfloat16`. Only the heavy Transformer blocks run in 4-bit. This makes the model **stable and ready to use**. |

|
| ## 🛠️ Usage in ComfyUI |
| 1. Download your desired format (FP16, FP8, or NVFP4). |
| 2. Place the file in your ComfyUI directory under `models/diffusion_models` (or the specific folder required by your audio node). |
| 3. Load the model using your standard Model Loader Node. |
