WAI-Illustrious SDXL v17 tested on M1 Max 64GB ComfyUI against v16 with the same seed. Hires fix now auto-corrects hands and feet, the four rating tags (general/sensitive/nsfw/explicit) still drive NSFW output, and v16-trained LoRAs mostly carry over — with one case where they don't.
Tested WAI-Anima v1 on Windows + RTX 4060 Laptop GPU (8GB VRAM). Headless execution via ComfyUI API hit a tqdm OSError on startup, but launching ComfyUI normally generates a single image in 55 seconds. Includes the workaround and timing notes.
Tested WAI-Anima v1 on M1 Max 64GB ComfyUI against WAI-Illustrious and Anima preview3-base. Verdict: WAI0731's Anima derivative bridges the two, with notes on the LoRA toolkit, text encoder upgrades, and how the Anima ecosystem evolved in two months.
Setup notes for running WAI-Illustrious SDXL v16 on ComfyUI with an 8GB RTX 4060 Laptop. 1024x1024 generates in ~15 seconds without --lowvram, and a LoRA still loads. CUDA 12.8 portable build and path gotchas included.
Went 0-for-13 trying to train an Illustrious-XL LoRA on a Mac Studio M1 Max 64GB. With help from multiple AI agents, pinpointed the root causes and finally succeeded on a RunPod RTX 4090. The full record: three fatal parameters and the sd-scripts trap.
Overview of Alibaba’s Z-Image and how it compares to FLUX and Stable Diffusion. A 6B-parameter model that runs on low VRAM and ranks first among open-source models.
Step-by-step guide to building a LoRA training environment on Windows 11 with an RTX 3060 Laptop (6 GB VRAM) using kohya_ss — from caption writing to VRAM-saving settings.
Introducing a Mac mini M4 Pro to build an in-house RAG system. A plan for setting up a LoRA training environment during downtime while waiting for specs to be finalized.
