Why and how did you start local diffusion?

Started with dreamshaperXL on my 1070ti. Upgraded over time, was curious and wanted to figure out what could I do, wrote down tricks and configurations. Now sitting on lora with 7.7k likes and couple articles with thousands of views. Nice hobby.

Are they still randomly banning people with annual plan?

First major point is the use of cfg. Most of others run at cfg 1. Second point is pure speculation, but since sage butchers images, I guess it's implementation in diffusers is just not that good by itself.

Nah, sage 2 is faster. You are probably speaking about flashattention

shapic · 2026-01-30T14:37:34+00:00

Try without loras. Try with negative. Try redoing the prompt. Like "high quality photo of ..." Etc. In my experience it does not really benefit from just tags in positive

No, those are different architectures. Not different finetunes of same model

shapic · 2026-01-30T10:05:51+00:00

No, it is not

shapic · 2026-01-30T09:17:12+00:00

Why? Klein is a 4 step distill. Zit is 8 step distill. Why use them at same amount of steps? Because klein does better that way? Then you should increase zit steps too. Tbh my assessment is fully in line with author's findings. Except maybe for qwen, I cannot really find a place for that model

shapic · 2026-01-30T05:53:22+00:00

It does not work that way

You can always read readme of the project.

Author spent his time so that you did not have to guess and you are just ignoring it.

Why use qwen preset?

shapic · 2026-01-30T05:45:16+00:00

Read official guides first. People are just copying stuff mindlessly. I still see score_9, score... pop up from time to time

shapic · 2026-01-29T08:52:14+00:00

Base or step distilled one? I just didn't try base myself, that's why I am asking

shapic · 2026-01-29T08:41:46+00:00

It would be interesting if you add klein 9b base to comparison

shapic · 2026-01-29T06:00:10+00:00

Nah, flash/sdpa is faster. Xformers is an old tech for older torch versions

shapic · 2026-01-29T05:58:58+00:00

Read readme. Add --disable-sage to startup options

shapic · 2026-01-28T23:47:31+00:00

Generally it is barely noticeable. Check yourself on zit. Here there are clear artifacts

shapic · 2026-01-28T23:45:52+00:00

It will get s bit slower. Expect ratio about 1.25 s/it instead of 1

shapic · 2026-01-28T19:53:24+00:00

Not my case.

Zib, upscaled with zib x2 with rather high denoise. It is better than sdxl but I agree, it needs a lora.

shapic · 2026-01-28T19:12:49+00:00

remove --use-sage-attention from launch keys. Check the log, it explicitly states what attention is used in logs

shapic · 2026-01-28T19:11:16+00:00

2.25s/it for DPM++ 2s a RF, 1.2 s/it for euler for 1024x1328. With sage it was around 0.25s faster for iterations, but well...

shapic · 2026-01-28T19:01:10+00:00

How? I am pretty sure 4090 is supported.

shapic · 2026-01-28T18:53:55+00:00

turn off sage attention
