I gotta say, the release of Flux has me worried that some of the fun of AI art will soon be gone, I used to have to make super elaborate workflows to get great images from SD1.5 and SDXL, now it seems like Flux has it covered. On the flip side, it does open up a lot of opportunity to be even more creative, and break new ground without having to worry about hands being wonky :pedro:

@pixelworld_ai I dunno, I tried it, and the results kinda sucked. They were no better than those of SDXL, but each picture took thrice as long to render and consumed significantly more resources.Maybe it will get better eventually, but at the current point I don't understand the hype.

@unidentified_mustelid @pixelworld_ai > Maybe it will get better eventually Yes it will 🙂 Do you remember when sdxl was published, how everyone was skeptical "bawwww it gens crap why do i need to use this huge model instead of my sweet 1.5"?The only obstacle is probably its size and hardware requirements.

@lonelyowl @pixelworld_ai people still use SD1.5 (and even 2.1) because SDXL is not objectively better in every single affair. New versions of AI models don't seem to replace the old ones, but only add new possibilities to the toolset. And yeah, hardware can be an issue, SDXL is waaay slower than 1.5, and Flux is even slower.

@unidentified_mustelid @pixelworld_ai > people still use SD1.5 Some people still use vqgan+clip, lol. But most people primarily use sdxl for everyday prompting, i guess.> New versions of AI models don't seem to replace the old ones, but only add new possibilities to the toolset. Yeah, probably. I still have some 1.5 checkpoints, though i don't use them very often. > SDXL is waaay slower than 1.5Huh? I mean, yes it's kinda slower than 1.5, but the difference isn't that dramatic, if only you don't have an insanely crappy gpu like 1050ti. After all, ai art isnt a videogame, you don't need to have 144 fps here. IMO the primary problem with flux isn't the slowness, but it's memory requirements. Some hardware simply can't run it, in any way 🤔

@lonelyowl @pixelworld_ai > But most people primarily use sdxl for everyday prompting, i guess.I don't have the statistics on how many use it, I doubt that most ppl use the newest thing.> IMO the primary problem with flux isn't the slowness, but it's memory requirements.Yes, I have A5000 with 24GB VRAM. With the resolution of 1024x1024, Flux consumes over 16GB. And even though I have enough memory, it does less than a step per second on Flux vs 3 steps per second on SDXL.

@unidentified_mustelid @pixelworld_ai > I don't have the statistics on how many use it Well my statement is based on vibes, i guess i need to research it. > I doubt that most ppl use the newest thing > sdxl > newest 🤨 🤨 🤨
