Quantized to int8, running fully on the MCU, rendering to an attached monitor in about 20 seconds at the slowest setting. It was the only r/MachineLearning post above 70 upvotes on the day, at 385. Useful floor marker for how far generative image models compress, and exactly the kind of result that never appears in a vendor benchmark post. (r/MachineLearning)
