## Dist_Schnell_Frankenstein - experimental alpha

This experiment started with ostris/OpenFLUX.1 and ashen0209/Flux-Dev2Pro and then grew into a Frankenstein model from some dusty models I had in the closet and threw in some loras in to the pot.  Used the FluxBlockPatcherSampler and several twised block merges to see what abomination I could possibly come up with and actually surprised myself with pleasing results for a Schnell Distilled Model.  It shall be called Dist_Schnell_Frankenstein experimental alpha

Settings I used (haven't tested outside of this)
 - 35 Steps with fp8_e4m3fn
 - Deis with Beta
 - Flux Vae
 - t5xxl_fp16
 - ViT-L-14-BEST-smooth-GmP-ft
 - cfg 2.5

 Workflow I used - a bit of an abomination in it's self, but I wanted to use Florence with it
