(Article) PixArt-α with less than 8GB VRAM (6.4GB and using fp16)

[felixsanz]

After implementing the Stable Diffusion components separately, I now published this article on how to take advantage of that knowledge to run PixArt-α using 6.4GB of VRAM without using bitsandbytes (so, still using fp16 instead of 8-bits).

This optimization make the model fit in my tortured 2070 😅. I hope people here like it and find it useful, and if you give me any feedback it is welcome.
