Version 1.5.0 of AI Runner adds some important core features than many people have been asking for:

• Checkpoint (ckpt) file support
• Safetensors support
• More schedulers

Additionally I noticed a major performance issues related to the Image Gallery as it increased in size. For that reason (and for better UX) I moved it into a separate window. I will be making more improvements to its design as well as improvements to its performance.

Lastly I added a feature that can be found in settings. It is an optional cache which allows you to reload load from your previous model when you next start AI Runnner - this gives you a speed boost on start up time (provided you’re using the same model - there will still be load time involved when changing models).

It is also worth noting that we are now able to generate 512x512 images on a 1080 GTX in approximately 10 seconds. (1 to 2 seconds on a 2080s RTX)
