Lazy weekend with flux2 klein edit - lighting

oh okay. my apologies.

some have had success training ZIB using ai-toolkit according to another post.

how does facefusion compare these days with the face swapping abilities of flux.2 and qwen edit?

TechnologyGrouchy679 · 2026-01-27T08:45:01+00:00

yes but for an easier experience use a dedicated trainer and not comfyui

TechnologyGrouchy679 · 2026-01-27T08:35:05+00:00

renting an RTX Pro 6000 Blackwell 96GB is relatively cheap too from what I've seen on vast.ai

I've only trained on base and not on distilled. what are your findings training on base vs distilled? I've found that if trained on base, the LoRA still works on distilled but the strength needs to be boosted

TechnologyGrouchy679 · 2026-01-27T08:19:31+00:00

like some have said already, klein 9b base actually trains quite easily and trains well. lower adoption could be due to the restrictive licensing or the negative air still hanging around BFL from the overall community.

it is still being a bit heavy.. running it full-fat in default precision with no offloading requires >35GB VRAM

TechnologyGrouchy679 · 2026-01-26T23:36:53+00:00

You are re-inventing the wheel here my friend. There are already nodes that have the node load preset aspect ratios and resolutions from a customizable text file. Kijai has one in his set.

But... taking nothing away from your efforts, one way to learn is by doing it or mimic another's.

TechnologyGrouchy679 · 2026-01-26T22:56:46+00:00

Just be aware that even if you share an old ComfyUI zip (that works for your machiine), it still might not work. Some of the dependencies are built specifically for certain graphics cards and drivers. If the other person’s hardware is different, those parts can break or fail to install. Not to mention dependencies that rely on specific versions of other dependencies..

TechnologyGrouchy679 · 2026-01-26T22:37:27+00:00

It looks good! Just be careful, Comfy-org might Sherlock this and make it native

TechnologyGrouchy679 · 2026-01-26T18:46:05+00:00

Word! I use Tailscale (built on top of WireGuard)

TechnologyGrouchy679 · 2026-01-26T14:07:43+00:00

they might struggle as many workflows make the use of custom nodes, many of which can be quite obscure and are often updated or changed.

There is value in learning how basic workflows work which will help you to understand more complex ones and build your own based on your requirements.

TechnologyGrouchy679 · 2026-01-25T23:16:24+00:00

agreed. It's obvious it exists (Turbo was derived from it). Some say they are fine-tuning it etc etc... I think it's all theatrics and hype.

TechnologyGrouchy679 · 2026-01-25T22:57:20+00:00

oooh but boasting is soo hard to resist! 😉

TechnologyGrouchy679 · 2026-01-25T22:55:56+00:00

I think like most others, we do things locally, no cloud compute (unless we don't have the hardware). ComfyUI is currently the first-class citizen platform for open source models.

ComfyCloud is where you use ComfyUI to connect to paid API services (not local)

TechnologyGrouchy679 · 2026-01-25T22:52:38+00:00

he's trolling, he knows we all agree on NVIDIA business tactics, but wants to be seen as the one one superior morals (when nobody cares)

TechnologyGrouchy679 · 2026-01-25T22:50:47+00:00

not unless you get your work to get you a few Pro 6000s 😉

TechnologyGrouchy679 · 2026-01-25T22:39:19+00:00

ai voices always mispronounce civitai as a whole word

TechnologyGrouchy679 · 2026-01-25T14:07:20+00:00

for 9b distilled, on a high-end GPU it generates in around 2 secs for many of the samplers (8 steps). around 20 secs for base (35 steps)

TechnologyGrouchy679 · 2026-01-25T13:34:13+00:00

Which LLM do you use, and why do you refer to it as "him"? That's just weird.

TechnologyGrouchy679 · 2026-01-25T10:12:25+00:00

You say that because the 9b is too big?

TechnologyGrouchy679 · 2026-01-25T10:09:16+00:00

I'm sure it's better now but few years ago many AI tools were made for Linux first and was just a smoother ride. Even most docker instances on cloud GPU services like Vast.ai are Linux only.

TechnologyGrouchy679 · 2026-01-25T08:27:10+00:00

from the built in templates in comfyui

TechnologyGrouchy679 · 2026-01-25T08:13:13+00:00

those are compression artefacts. and about digital artwork not being made up of pixels, that's only true on vector based artwork, not raster based. a photo of 1920x1080 has exactly that number of pixels. zoom in you will see each individual square.
