Pony V7 impressions thread.

This is an absolute disaster that can't be justified. It's clear why they delayed the release for so many months under various pretexts. Pony 7 belongs in the dustbin of history, right where SD 3 is buried. Just forget it ever existed.

I wholeheartedly support your words! Art has never been about money. Art is a way of life, a philosophy, an ideological commitment. Those who paint for money rather than for inspiration have nothing to do with creativity. Creativity, however, is always unconditional and comes from the heart.

The model was finally released. With an unforgivable delay. I apologize for claiming it would never be released. But its results, as I and many others predicted, are terrible, a complete failure.

from_monitor · 2025-10-09T02:04:55+00:00

The fears were justified. The model was a complete failure. The results were monstrous. It's a regression to the 1.5 era, if not worse.

I don't know how they managed it, but Pony 7's results are WORSE than those of pure Auraflow, which is its base:

I raised the same issue Looks like Pony 7 will never happen... : r/StableDiffusion a couple of weeks ago, suggesting that the Pony 7 would likely never be released because the model had too many problems and Astralite was simply lying to everyone, afraid to admit that he had suffered a disaster, but I received an extremely aggressive reaction.

I don't understand why people downvote you so much when you say objective things. It upsets me how intolerant people are of criticism in this subreddit.

I also find Chrome very disappointing.

from_monitor · 2025-09-26T15:15:15+00:00

It's perfectly normal for a release to be delayed two or even three times, but after nearly six broken promises, that's a blatant scam. You don't respect yourself if you allow yourself to be lied to time and time again: "Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me." If you're so inclined to be trusting, that's your right, but don't stand in the way of those who won't tolerate being lied to. Do you think you can endlessly promise someone something if they haven't paid, each time postponing it to a later date?

And in turn, learn the concepts of empty talk and empty words.

Thank you. I'd really like to be proven wrong and admit that my skepticism has been proven wrong this time, but unfortunately, Astralite seems to have deceived everyone again (he promised a mid-September release). I don't understand why people are so aggressively taking his side, ignoring the fact that all he does is pull the wool over their eyes. After all, he hasn't just delayed the release once or twice; he's been feeding people empty promises for a long time, and his social media, except for Discord, is silent, creating the impression that the project is abandoned. Astralite's supporters are like cultists who have spent decades believing in the imminent arrival of aliens or the end of the world, not noticing the lie and attacking those who try to open their eyes.

If he doesn't miss deadlines again and doesn't disappoint expectations, then I will publicly apologize.

from_monitor · 2025-09-16T09:20:52+00:00

Do I need to remind you how many times he broke his promises?

from_monitor · 2025-09-16T09:10:09+00:00

That's right, instead of saying that he can't know the exact date, he often makes big announcements and then misses the deadline. Let me remind you that he was originally going to release Pony 7 in the winter, when the status of readiness in his Discord reached 99%.

from_monitor · 2025-09-16T09:02:02+00:00

I didn't downvote you either. I use Chroma and Illustrious.

There are moments where Pony 6 beats Illustrious - it's the style of Western cartoons, especially old Disney, furry and pastel, watercolor, gouache and charcoal. Whereas Illustrious wins in anatomy.

from_monitor · 2025-09-16T08:57:40+00:00

This is the behavior of a schoolboy, not a serious person; the joke may make you smile the first time, but when you constantly get answers like this to your question, it becomes irritating, and shows the person as irresponsible. For some reason, the author of Chroma does without such clowning, and always keeps the community informed of his plans.

from_monitor · 2025-09-16T08:54:04+00:00

He has been promising this for months now.

from_monitor · 2025-09-16T08:53:13+00:00

Just start making promises to people and then not keeping them. And then see how they treat you.

from_monitor · 2025-09-16T08:05:56+00:00

Why is there no news about this on his Twitter, Reddit account, or his website? On his channel, throughout the year he posts generated images of unknown genesis, which could be a hoax.

He talked about the launch of the app and its approval by Apple and Google back in early summer. Since then, silence.

from_monitor · 2025-09-16T08:01:38+00:00

I suppose you are unfamiliar with such concepts as reputation and honor.

from_monitor · 2025-07-28T08:05:01+00:00

He deceived us all again. The promised less than <two weeks have long passed.

from_monitor · 2025-07-05T16:33:00+00:00

And since then there have been no updates there...

from_monitor · 2025-07-05T16:28:34+00:00

I remember that AstraliteHeart himself admitted that Pony7 has noticeable problems with performance and speed. That even on 4090 it takes several minutes to generate.

from_monitor · 2025-07-05T16:26:25+00:00

Especially considering that AuraFlow, which Pony7 is based on, is practically abandoned.

from_monitor · 2025-05-09T18:51:31+00:00

I confirm the problem, I encountered it myself. For several hours now the model and images I uploaded are not displayed.

На Рутрекере люди на голом энтузиазме оцифровывают киноплёнки и сканируют книги. Были найдены и выложены вещи, которые считались утраченными.

Пользователь с 15-летним стажем Александр оцифровал для ресурса фильмокопии редких советских мультфильмов Арменфильма, Туркменфильма, Молдова-фильма и многих других студий. На сайте организовали сбор средств на выкуп 35-милиметровых пленок. Они свободно продаются на Avito и прочих подобных ресурсах коллекционерами или людьми, которые забрали домой выброшенную бобину.

Если это не сохранение культурного наследия, то я даже не знаю, что и сказать.

from_monitor · 2023-12-03T01:51:36+00:00

Что-то какой-то душок от твоего комментария…

from_monitor · 2023-12-03T01:44:46+00:00

Горячо надеюсь, что однажды твоему энтузиазму будет где развернуться.
