can't get model from local file in image2image?

[kotran88]

import torch

from PIL import Image

from diffusers import AutoPipelineForImage2Image
from diffusers.utils import make_image_grid, load_image
print("1")

pipeline = AutoPipelineForImage2Image.from_pretrained(
    "stabilityai/stable-diffusion-xl-refiner-1.0", torch_dtype=torch.float16, variant="fp16", use_safetensors=True
)

this is basic code
but want to get model from local file.
so I changed

pipeline = AutoPipelineForImage2Image.from_pretrained("./models/sd_xl_refiner_1.0.safetensors", torch_dtype=torch.float16, variant="fp16", use_safetensors=True
)

but it cause error even though it may be same model.

  File "/home/xxxx/diffusers/src/diffusers/configuration_utils.py", line 441, in load_config
    raise EnvironmentError(f"It looks like the config file at '{config_file}' is not a valid JSON file.")
OSError: It looks like the config file at './models/sd_xl_refiner_1.0.safetensors' is not a valid JSON file.

Try .from_single_file() method with its proper pipeline.
