DRM is here: Model makers are starting to add extra IDs and corrupt CLIP on purpose

[CustodialMatter]

Model creators are now intentionally added keys that prevent making modifications to the model

Extra keys
Intentionally bad clip keys

I get that this is a cheap way to prevent redundant model merges and are fed up with not being credited, and I'm totally for that, but I need these files in diffusers format for work and it's breaking the converter

Here's the workaround so far:

Would be cool to see these fixes incorporated into Toolkit for the rest of us

Do you think the error: "argument 'metadata': 'dict' object cannot be converted to 'PyString'" is the same issues?
I get it when trying to merge Checkpoints as .safetensor, but only a certain few checkpoints, the rest work fine.

If anyone else is having this issue, you can fix it with this Automatic 1111 Extension: https://github.com/Akegarasu/sd-webui-model-converter
