    No, a .safetensors file is not a database. You can’t query a .safetensors file and there’s nothing like ACID compliance (it’s read-only).

    Imagine a JSON file that has only keys and values in it where both the keys and the values are floating point numbers. It’s basically gibberish until you go through an inference process and start feeding random numbers through it (over and over again, whittling it all down until you get a result that matches the prompt to a specified degree).

    How do the “turbo” models work to get a great result after one step? I have no idea. That’s like black magic to me haha.
