Description
Description
I saw that in the official demo of SDXL, VAE was not compiled. However, when I converted VAE to plan format, the size was 98.22MB. But after loading VAE and using device_memory_size to check the VRAM usage, it showed 12079599616 bytes, which means I don't have enough VRAM to load the entire model.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the report with the linked stable-diffusion-xl-1.0-tensorrt model and inspect the VAE plan's device_memory_size against its 98.22MB file size. Check whether the reported 12GB allocation is expected for the RTX 4080 setup and TensorRT 9.2/9.3. Done means explaining the discrepancy or identifying a fix for the excessive allocation.
