Workflow for lowerimg a checkpoint from civitai

Hello all,

I’m going fully bananas by reading tons of documentation [1, 2] and many more.

The point of struggle is extracting the state_dict from the safetensors file with the checkpoint.

I can load the data from the file in many variants, but none of these leads a step further and let me extract the desired parts.

Could somebody give me a description of a typical workflow?

Greets,

Jonathan
