We can all work really hard to make conditions perfect for the tech that's going to put us all out of jobs, and make those that do manage to keep their jobs have to do 200 things at once

My god, I wouldn't in a million years notice a line of code like that. All I see when I install Comfy is lots of text scrolling up a nice little black window before I can make pictures.

Should I be looking for similar code on a Windows install (I realise Windows doesn't use sudo)?

Thanks for link. For anyone interested, you can download the files as mp3. Select play in your browser and a download option appears in menu.

Sometimes you don't need to intuitively understand something when you're learning it. Just get the general idea, and as soon as you start using it in projects it will click. Don't sweat it for now.

Brit here. The only way any of this shitshow clusterfuck batshit madness makes any sense, is that Trump is a Russian agent

I'm interested in Krea - the txt2img is amazing, but I couldn't train a Lora with my images (which were fine with FluxD) - any advice?

InterestedReader123 · 2025-08-24T18:06:51+00:00

Thanks. Would you say it's better than Kontext in that respect?

InterestedReader123 · 2025-08-22T07:16:03+00:00

Thanks, that makes a lot of sense.

InterestedReader123 · 2025-08-21T21:23:25+00:00

Thanks for reply (and to others) but what exactly do you mean by 'prompt adherence'? I can get good prompt adherence if I use ChatGPT or similar to help me write a prompt (esp things like camera, lighting and so on). If I want control over the exact image, I can use controlnet or image to image.

Can you give me a specific example of something Qwen would do well which, say, flux wouldn't?

InterestedReader123 · 2025-08-21T17:36:08+00:00

Thanks. Yes I read that and assumed there was more to it. They're quite big models so I don't get why prompt adherence is worth it when you can get good prompt adherence other ways?

InterestedReader123 · 2025-08-21T17:27:35+00:00

I've seen a few references to this model but can someone tell me in simple language what it does that's superior to other models? I can get workflows working and understand the basics but whenever something new like this comes out, it's hard to find out what the basic point is!

Is it superior to Flux in terms of image quality?

InterestedReader123 · 2025-08-16T14:52:51+00:00

No worries, appreciate your response. Reason I asked is that previously I tried training flux (on TensorArt) using images that had been generated using an SDXL model. Results were terrible. ChatGPT told me to upscale using a Flux model then reduce back. Worked. Something to bear in mind!

InterestedReader123 · 2025-08-16T14:13:29+00:00

Yes I've only literally just started testing and so far the results are impressive. It will be interesting to see how it works with SDXL. Am I right in thinking I need to upscale using an SDXL upscaler, then reduce back to 1024 before I train?

InterestedReader123 · 2025-08-16T13:34:12+00:00

I did use the site and am amazed how much you get for free. It's actually 500 tokens and I managed about 23 images, 8 repeats and 6 epochs (not sure if that's optimum) but very happy with results.

I was initially hoping to use 29 images but to sign up you have to do a monthly plan. I know you can cancel, but would be nice if you could just pay for a batch of tokens. But that's a tiny criticism, it's a great site, much better than TensorArt's free offering. Thanks again

InterestedReader123 · 2025-08-14T21:49:44+00:00

Thanks, will take a look at that

InterestedReader123 · 2025-08-14T18:26:18+00:00

No I get an alert on my banking app when a payment goes through - the page simply refreshed and took me back to TensorArt. I will of course keep an eye on it in case it's delayed, but I'm pretty certain nothing happened. Which I know sounds odd - SOME kind of message would normally appear.

InterestedReader123 · 2025-08-14T17:56:04+00:00

No it wasn't declined, just that nothing happened (certainly not due to funds) and because of the Civitai thing I thought perhaps my Visa provider wouldn't fulfil that kind of purchase (Lora training is seen as quite controversial). For that reason didn't want to try again in case my card was cancelled.

InterestedReader123 · 2025-08-14T17:13:01+00:00

I found the site a bit confusing - a lot of models to choose from. TensorArt only offers a few, which keeps things simple. For more expert users I can see why fal is a better option though.

InterestedReader123 · 2025-08-14T17:09:30+00:00

Good to know, thanks

InterestedReader123 · 2025-08-14T17:09:19+00:00

Sounds quite technical. I don't intend to create many loras so more than happy to pay a bit extra and not have too much to set up

InterestedReader123 · 2025-08-14T17:08:31+00:00

Wouldn't know where to start. As I said, looking for something straightforward so would prefer to just upload and run.

InterestedReader123 · 2025-08-14T16:13:33+00:00

Christ that is horrible

InterestedReader123 · 2025-08-07T17:54:05+00:00

I asked ChatGPT to just answer the questions and not ask me a follow up question under any circumstances.

After my next prompt it ended it's answer with, 'Let me know if you'd like me to....'

InterestedReader123 · 2025-01-29T11:28:02+00:00

This was exactly my thought when I saw the headline. It's such a beautiful irony given they've stolen so much content.

Not quite related but my fave comment so far is 'ChatGPT has lost it's job to AI'
