InvokeAI: Configuration and performance - FP16/FP32

Go back to list

In AI and computing in general, datatype can wide widely affect the performance of a workload. The longer the decimal places, the more precise the result will be but generally with a penalty in terms of performance.

InvokeAI proposes FP16 & FP32 but no performance difference:
