[Bug] core dump in CPU backend if using FP8 (e4m3) tensors #2139

Closed

Description

@akleine

Git commit

120e3e8

Operating System & Version

Ubuntu 24.04

GGML backends

CPU

Command-line arguments used

./sd-cli -m ./RealVisXL_V5_Lightning_Native_FP8_00001_.safetensors -p "a cute cat" --steps 5 --cfg-scale 1

Steps to reproduce

Use a CPU version of sd-cli version and run above command line.
The model comes from here: https://huggingface.co/sharp-y/realvisxl_v5.0_turbo_fp8

Also you could use any other sd-cli (with CUDA or so) if adding option --backend cpu , or run sd-cli with any other T2I model using fp8_e4m3 tensors, e.g.: https://huggingface.co/DanielMarius/t5xxl_fp8_e4m3fn.safetensors (add --clip-on-cpu here).
