- 7Hugging Face Blog·7/23/2026framework_updateDiffusers Adds Native Nunchaku 4-bit Diffusion Support
Hugging Face Diffusers now supports loading Nunchaku 4-bit diffusion checkpoints directly with from_pretrained(), without local CUDA compilation or a separate inference engine. The update combines Nunchaku NVFP4 transformer kernels with bitsandbytes NF4 text encoders, cutting memory use and improving inference speed for supported hardware.
