  • What is the current limitation when exporting the TensorRT engine for different image sizes?

    -The TensorRT engine must be exported for the specific size of the final image. If the engine for a particular size, such as 1024x1024, is not exported, the image of that size cannot be generated.

  • What is the future outlook for image generation speed improvements with TensorRT?

    -The future may hold even faster image generation with TensorRT, especially if improvements are made to the high-resolution fix process, and if there are optimizations for tiling or a mode that selects tiles depending on the individual GPU.
