It’s been a while since I’ve updated my Stable Diffusion kit, and the technology moves so fast that I should probably figure out what new tech is out there.
Is most everyone still using AUTOMATIC’s interface? Any cool plugins people are playing with? Good models?
What’s the latest in video generation? I’ve seen a lot of animated images that seem to retain frame-to-frame adherence very well. Kling 1.6 is out there, but it doesn’t appear to be free or local.
SDXL can be very accommodating with TeaCache and the current most popular checkpoints (Illustrious) are based on SDXL. They have photo-realistic branches of it now, worth checking out
Don’t forget to check out illustrious’s derivative model nꝏbai , it can also do furries (if you care for that sorta thing) !
