-This kind of models have a reduced U-Net part. 
-Unlike other SDXL models the U-Net of SSD1B has only one middle block and lesser attention layers in up and down blocks, resulting in relatively smaller files. Running these models saves more than 33% of the time. For more details, refer to Segmind's paper on https://arxiv.org/abs/2401.02677v1 .
-Unlike other SD 1.x models Tiny-UNet models consist of only 6 U-Net blocks, resulting in relatively smaller files (approximately 1 GB). Running these models saves almost 50% of the time. For more details, refer to the paper: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2305.15798.pdf .
+These models feature a reduced U-Net architecture. Unlike standard SDXL models, the SSD-1B U-Net contains only one middle block and fewer attention layers in its up- and down-blocks, resulting in significantly smaller file sizes. Using these models can reduce inference time by more than 33%. For more details, refer to Segmind's paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/2401.02677v1.
+Similarly, SD1.x- and SD2.x-style models with a tiny U-Net consist of only 6 U-Net blocks, leading to very small files and time savings of up to 50%. For more information, see the paper: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2305.15798.pdf.

+These models require conversion before use. You will need a Python script provided by the diffusers team, available on GitHub:

+### SD2.x
+
+NotaAI provides the following model online:

+
+Creating a .safetensors file involves two steps. First, run this short Python script to download the model from Hugging Face:
+
+```python
+from diffusers import StableDiffusionPipeline
+pipe = StableDiffusionPipeline.from_pretrained("nota-ai/bk-sdm-v2-tiny",cache_dir="./")
+```
+
+Second, create the .safetensors file by running:
+
+```bash
+python convert_diffusers_to_original_stable_diffusion.py \
+      --model_path  models--nota-ai--bk-sdm-v2-tiny/snapshots/68277af553777858cd47e133f92e4db47321bc74 \
+      --checkpoint_path bk-sdm-v2-tiny.safetensors --half --use_safetensors
+```
+
+This will generate the **file bk-sdm-v2-tiny.safetensors**, which is now ready for use with sd.cpp.
+
+### SD1.x
+
+Several Tiny SD 1.x models are available online, such as:
