Added 2025-09-26 13:51:00 +0000 UTCWhile I have some free time, Iโm sitting down to test new models. Later Iโll share comparison tests between different models, but for now Iโm making a separate post about this one. Itโs still in the testing stage.
Why a separate post? Because this model was additionally trained on more than a hundred characters. For example, it can recognize some ZZZ characters (unlike most other models, which canโt recognize them at all without a LoRA). However, there are still some characters it either doesnโt recognize or recognizes poorly.
So, as the modelโs author mentioned, itโs still very much in development.

burnice white โ This is where the model falls apart... I'm certainly not a fan of all these gacha games and I don't know much about characters, but if you compare the screenshots... ๐
Something like that, basically. And, of course, she has a different style. Whether you like her style or not is entirely up to you ๐ค

I've been using the current model for a year now. Considering how quickly these technologies are advancing, that's a very long time. On the other hand, I still haven't found anything I like better. But everyone's tastes are different, so maybe someone else will like something else better.

2025-09-26 17:24:51 +0000 UTCI guess my question is where is the trade off? More character recognition is great but I love your scenery and quality character output

2025-09-26 14:59:35 +0000 UTCIt turns out that Ellen Joe is recognized by the old modelโฆ So that means older models can recognize some characters from ZZZ. Although the ones I was asked to create images with werenโt recognized by the model. In any case, this modelโs database has been expanded. But personally, Iโd focus more on the style, because to me, thatโs the most important part. ๐
