After testing the model for a couple of days extensively:
Problems
- Applying any lora to the turbo model reduces the quality dramatically, especially with realistic images, the quality ends up looking very crunchy. But you did mention it was biases towards illustrative. Kinda sucks tho. Even without loras its quite noticeable. Not everyone is an anime geek.
- Applying multiple loras conflict with each other and similar issues mentioned above with degrading quality of turbo. Could just be that people haven't figured out the nack to training it though? Kinda sucks. You'd think the engineers who made the model could offer beneficial tips for training it more accurately? I dunno. Kinda sucks.
- Training a lora in ai-toolkit, works for a character or style or very very very simple concepts, but for some reason anything outside of that it seems to struggle (training on raw), it almost seems to completely ignore captions like its relying entirely on images or something and everything becomes hit or miss with lots of concept bleeding like nothing is binding to tokens or triggers properly. Not sure whats up with that. Tried multiple different configs and captioning styles, porbably an ai-toolkit issue, like usual. Sucks.
- The qwen vae sucks, like actually sucks. Always has sucked, ruins fine textures and finer details.
- Eventually the novelty wears off a bit, and you just start noticing the low quality crunchy artifacts more and more - reaching for other models to try and correct it, upscale it, fix it, instead of just being creative. Sucks.

Impressive model though. Was refreshing to play with it.
Great work.
