Running Chrome in SwarmUI: Beware of the metadata settings!

[10061996]

To make the story as short as possible: I tried to run Chrome in Swarm, followed the respective guide meticulously and it plain didn't work. I don't remember any more if it produced garbage or died beforehand with an error message. Anyway, after a lot of digging I found the architecture in the model metadata to be set to "chrome" which seemed correct. As a last straw, I set it to "Flux dev" and from then on it worked.

A friend of mine had the same issue, the solution described worked with his setup as well.

Maybe it is dependent on the exact checkpoint that is being used if it works as downloaded or not, as there are so many quantizations in the wild now. But the version I use (chroma-unlocked-v50-flash-heun) had Chroma set as architecture and agreed on working only after the setting was changed to Flux dev.
