Hello,

I followed the instructions from the link above to install optimum-cli and to convert the SDXL model to ONNX. But I got this error. Does anyone know what could be wrong? Thank you.

```auto
$ optimum-cli export onnx --model stabilityai/stable-diffusion-xl-base-1.0 --task stable-diffusion-xl sd_xl_onnx/
Framework not specified. Using pt to export the model.
Keyword arguments {'subfolder': '', 'trust_remote_code': False} are not expected by StableDiffusionXLImg2ImgPipeline and will be ignored.

```

This is the output from “optimum-cli env”:
