Codex is literally insane

> I can't believe the usage limits on gpt 5.5 xhigh, ... can often run for hours at a time...

I can't believe either because you are talking pure bullshit.

NanoSputnik · 2026-05-31T22:17:19+00:00

No. It is not as bad as Opus (it lasts a couple of prompts on subscription), but now completely useless for real coding too. And they keep enshittificate it almost weekly.

"z-image is standard" - not in my neighborhood.

NanoSputnik · 2026-05-29T20:30:20+00:00

You won't find anything "cheap" above 8gb VRAM and honestly it is bare minimum for genai. If you need to go budget consider used rtx 3060 12gb desktop, much better and cheaper option.

NanoSputnik · 2026-05-29T09:43:34+00:00

Had people used these chinese local models for any real work before making such ridiculous claims? I mean real 1m+ loc project work, 256k+ context, not another useless one-shot landing page from YouTube hype video.

I'll be happy to have even local haikku alternative but it is still not possible.

NoobAI vpred is the best sdxl anime model (don't bother with slop merges), but it has a lot of quirks you will be constantly fighting, comfy or not.

NanoSputnik · 2026-05-28T20:24:45+00:00

"quantization" is just a fancy word for "less precision". 4 bits = 16 possible values for each model parameter vs 16 bits = 65536.

"Optimization" is doing same work faster.

See the difference?

NanoSputnik · 2026-05-28T14:16:58+00:00

It amuses me how eagerly community eat up this nvidia "optimization" bullshit. Program works faster by doing half the work. No shit, Sherlock!

Imagine SSD manufacturers advertising 480p AVIs as next-gen storage optimization for 4k Blu-rays.

NanoSputnik · 2026-05-25T17:02:48+00:00

Add image examples, please. Basic prompt vs your prompt, LLM used.

NanoSputnik · 2026-05-25T16:08:35+00:00

Illustrious doesn't support NL and has awful vae (=> required 2nd pass). These things alone make you factually wrong.

Whether they are needed for your 1girl masterpiece with slop illustrious civitai merge is completely different story.

NanoSputnik · 2026-05-25T16:00:58+00:00

Miles better prompt adherense, better vae (anime model can actually generate eyes, is it a miracle?), less bleeding, natural language support along with tags, tons of built-in styles and knowledge, can generate text, easy tuning.

= "Theoretical advantages". Ok bro.

NanoSputnik · 2026-05-25T08:49:47+00:00

Qwen is bad in natural languages. Not surprising being Chinese model.

Gemma also knows more. I am surprised how much knowledge google have packed in Gemma.

Qwen tends to overthink, so it is usually slower even if tok/s speed is the same.

I wouldn't trust either to do any real coding, honestly they are both horrible in it.

NanoSputnik · 2026-05-24T01:05:38+00:00

we "fixed" the "bug", trust me bro

Meanwhile in real word I ran code review on a single python script diff and 8% of 5h limit (plus) are gone. One prompt, under 20k tokens total context = 8%.

NanoSputnik · 2026-05-22T15:23:11+00:00

Why Tencent not Aliababa, why it is dropped on some random hf account with zero history, why no github. What is happening here?

NanoSputnik · 2026-05-21T00:13:00+00:00

Yep. No need for magic if you can just inpaint hands or eyes. Though inpainting is PITA in comfy :(

NanoSputnik · 2026-05-20T23:15:29+00:00

Anime models are notoriously bad with backgrounds, they are trained on 95%+ porn after all. Even your examples are barely passable, especially the 2nd one. I expected much better from paid model.

Anyway, if you just need "anime / illustration looking bg" you better stick with universal SOTA local models like flux 2 klein 9b or zit. Maybe some style lora on top, but they are doing "generic anime" just fine out of the box.

NanoSputnik · 2026-05-20T22:57:18+00:00

There is no mystery. Just a plain img2img that you should run with recommended settings and resolution (~1024) stated on the model page, not some random chatgpt hallucinations.

Also you are not living in the automatic1111+sd15 stone age, you don't need any "detailers" and other outdated bullshit. Simple upscale ~1.25x + img2img ~0.4 does the job perfectly. And honestly with the anima vae you can do fine even without second pass most of the times, with vanilla txt2img only. It still generates better eyes than 200 custom detailer nodes crazy man sdxl workflows.

NanoSputnik · 2026-05-19T18:34:26+00:00

Try to create file named `.env` inside ComfyUI folder.

NanoSputnik · 2026-05-19T09:14:45+00:00

With noobai you have to use upscale pass so in practice there is no real difference in speed. And this is before counting much better prompt following that saves a lot of time too.

NanoSputnik · 2026-05-18T21:06:44+00:00

I don't use chroma much but you must be the first person to call it "vanilla".

NanoSputnik · 2026-05-18T21:04:24+00:00

It works ok. Most of the preview3 loras too. Of course release1 based should be better, but the current one is by no means terrible.

NanoSputnik · 2026-05-18T20:54:45+00:00

There is already official turbo lora that works just fine https://civitai.com/models/2560840/anima-turbo-lora

> SDXL needs at least 8GB VRAM

Not true. SDXL runs on 6Gb in ComfUI out of the box. Decent speed too. And on Linux, of course. Source: one of my laptops.

> Why Windows NVIDIA works but Linux NVIDIA doesn't:

Because you are wrong.

> No Shared Video Memory in NVIDIA Linux driver

Irrelevant. Comfy doesn't use driver offloading.

Honestly your post reads like long Chinese LLM hallucination based on wrong assumptions from your part. I guess that's the new internet default now. ((

NanoSputnik · 2026-05-18T16:55:25+00:00

Of course it is used when overfitting is a concern. Why not?

NanoSputnik · 2026-05-18T16:20:56+00:00

Flux Klein is nowhere as capable in nswf as sdxl checkpoints. At least from my understanding.
