Just curious if anyone out there has actual helpful information on what's going on with A1111 development? It's my preferred SD Implementation, but there haven't been any updates since September?

"Just use <alternative x>" replies won't be useful. I have Stability Matrix, I have (and am not good with) Comfy. Just wondering if anyone here knows WTF is going on?

Check the tutorial.

I'm noticing that if I swap the order of LoRAs loading in ComfyUI, then the output changes. This doesn't make sense to me, because the order in which you apply LoRAs to a model should not affect the outputs.

Has anyone else experienced this / have thoughts on what might be happening?

Hi everyone! I'm using Stable Diffusion 3.5 with Diffusers, but I'm a bit confused about the scheduler and sampler options. I only seem to find FlowMatchEulerDiscreteScheduler and FlowMatchHeunDiscreteScheduler. SwarmUI and ComfyUI have more choices like SGM, DDM, DPM++, etc. When I try using schedulers from SDXL, I get messed up images.

What are my actual options for schedulers and samplers with SD 3.5 and Diffusers? Thanks!

I want to start using Flux but I only own a MacAir with 8GB of memory which as I gather is not nearly powerful enough.

I'm researching buying a barebones PC specifically for Flux, and wanted to check what variables I need to make it worthwhile (graphics card, RAM, etc.). I'm balancing price/quality of course - I don't need instant rendering, but I guess I'd like to be able to render an image within a minute or two ideally.

If there is already a thread for this topic that would be great, otherwise I would appreciate any guidance - and any off the shelf models that would be recommended. TIA -

┌∩┐(◣◢)┌∩┐ DEAR CORPORATE AI OVERLORDS ┌∩┐(◣◢)┌∩┐

We received access to Sora with the promise to be early testers, red teamers and creative partners. However, we believe instead we are being lured into "art washing" to tell the world that Sora is a useful tool for artists.

Hundreds of artists provide unpaid labor through bug testing, feedback and experimental work for the program for a $150B valued company. While hundreds contribute for free, a select few will be chosen through a competition to have their Sora-created films screened — offering minimal compensation which pales in comparison to the substantial PR and marketing value OpenAI receives.

Furthermore, every output needs to be approved by the OpenAI team before sharing. This early access program appears to be less about creative expression and critique, and more about PR and advertisement.

We are releasing this tool to give everyone an opportunity to experiment with what ~300 artists were offered: a free and unlimited access to this tool.

We are not against the use of AI technology as a tool for the arts (if we were, we probably wouldn't have been invited to this program). What we don't agree with is how this artist program has been rolled out and how the tool is shaping up ahead of a possible public release. We are sharing this to the world in the hopes that OpenAI becomes more open, more artist friendly and supports the arts beyond PR stunts.

We call on artists to make use of tools beyond the proprietary:

Open Source video generation tools allow artists to experiment with the avant garde free from gate keeping, commercial interests or serving as PR to any corporation. We also invite artists to train their own models with their own datasets.

Some open source video tools available are: Open Source video generation tools allow artists to experiment with avant garde tools without gate keeping, commercial interests or serving as a PR to any corporation. Some open source video tools available are:

CogVideoX

Mochi 1

LTX Video

Pyramid Flow

However, as we are aware not everyone has the hardware or technical capability to run open source tools and models, we welcome tool makers to listen to and provide a path to true artist expression, with fair compensation to the artists.
