It looks like the huggingface page links their github that seems to have python scripts to run these: https://github.com/Stability-AI/generative-models

However, when using the example code from HuggingFace or setting up stuff from the StabilityAI/generative-models repo in a jupyter notebook, I end up using 21 GB of VRAM just for running the default pipeline (with no base model output). If I try to run the extra `base.vae.decode(base_latents)` after generation to get unrefined outputs, I get a CUDA out of memory error as it blows past the 24GB of my NVIDIA RTX 3090.

SDXL uses cropping information as part of the conditioning. Images were randomly cropped during training and the coordinates of the crop were included as two integers at the end of the conditioning vector. If you're using ComfyUI you can use the CLIPTextEncodeSDXL node to specify where the upper left corner of the image should appear to be in relation to some hypothetical uncropped image. Here's a figure with examples from the report on SDXL:
