Useful Forge Neo Extensions: Convert to Int8 in Seconds with No Visible Quality Loss
cradledust · reddit · 2026-08-07
A Reddit user shared two recently updated and highly useful Forge Neo extensions, complete with benchmark data.
First is sd-forge-compressor, which allowed the author to convert a 17.73 GB model to a 9.77 GB Int8 format in just 30 seconds using an RTX 4060. The comparison showed that the Int8 version had almost no visible quality loss, while generation speed was roughly 10 seconds faster than BF16.
Second is sd-webui-florence-2-neo, a lightweight 3.2 GB model extension that quickly generates uncensored prompts based on images, with surprisingly good results in testing.
