How to pick the right models and dramatically speed up image and video generation speeds & What I wish I knew when starting on AMD hardware with ComfyUI
For the below I’ll be referring mostly to ComfyUI workflow and model efficiency (using examples for Radeon AI PRO R9700 (32GB) which has a bandwidth of 680GB/sec.

VideoImage Decision Models for RPA: Forms, Scans and Screenshots
In this video, we return to looking at decision models, but this time for images, with the use case being RPA.
Show HN: TerrainSR – fast, realistic heightmap upscaling model
I wanted to have a 1:1 scale model of Europe, but my problem was that 100m data was too low-res while 10m LIDAR data was patchy, took hundreds of GBs to store and was full of manmade objects like mines, buildings and so on.

[Model] Support MiniCPM-V 4.7 by tc-mb · Pull Request #29416 · ggml-org/llama.cpp
Let me remind you that MiniCPM-V-4.7-35B-A3B was spotted on r/LocalLLaMA a few days ago (but the model was later hidden on HF).
Overwhelmed with Minimax 3 combinations
I've been testing MiniMax H3 in ComfyUI for a while now, and I'm definitely not new to ComfyUI, but I'm getting frustrated with the sheer number of configurations people recommend.
Best way to use H3 ref2video. Not even joking. it just works and is easier to manage than any replacing attempts fighting the Model
Just draw your composition and let Minimax figure it out instead of using references from the internet
Updated ComfyUI-SeedVR2-VideoUpscaler-with-TensorRT v1.6.6 - Native ConvRot W4A8 Support & DisTorch2 Scope
The other day, when I published information about v1.5.7, I received a request in the comments regarding support for w4a8.

Long Shot Studio v0.6.13 (degradation test)
After more back and forth with Claude for optimization and UI change, here is the latest update of Long Shot Studio.
I am building a web application to transform images into Gaussian Splats
I’ve been playing with orbit-style videos from video models (lately Minimax H3 in ComfyUI) and kept thinking they’d make great input for Gaussian Splatting.
I built GOAT’d Text Generator 🐐 - generate prompts directly in ComfyUI
I made a custom node that brings cloud and local LLMs into your ComfyUI workflows.
TensorSharp now supports Qwen Image 2.1 Turbo + LoRA — Here's a quick image editing demo
I've been working on adding more image generation and editing capabilities to TensorSharp, and I'm happy to share that it now supports Qwen Image 2.1 Turbo and LoRA!
Building prompts with LLMs
I’ve been into AI image and video generation for a while, and I’ve been a bit obsessed with H3 for the past two months.
Update: Kroma, A Krea-2 Fine Tune
Hey everyone, First of all, thank you to everyone for supporting this project, and to the Krea team who made the best uncompromised base model.

SLM community telenovela: what do you guys think about this arguement?
If there is something I like about the indie SLM community is there is always some drama every week about something.
Quoting Ben Affleck
And a tensor, you use a convolutional neural network to identify patterns in that that would reveal what's called edge detection or feature extraction, which is just identifying patterns enough to know like this is where the window ledge is, so we can more easily take the green screen image out and replace it with something.
How do you guys upscale your images? Is anything even close to Magnific?
It's been years since Magnific.ai came out, and I still haven't found a creative upscaler that comes close to it.
Qwen-Image 2.1 Turbo model is available in ZPix (a friendly local image generator and editor)
Model includes the texture fix VAE made by Ollin Boer Bohan to avoid checkerboard artifacts.
Qwen Image 2.1 Turbo - extend 'magic' 8 steps sigmas further
So, I've decided to try Qwen Image 2.1 Turbo with the following 'magic' sigmas, taken directly from their Diffusers implementation:

qwen 2.1 turbo or normal - fixed the artifacts
hi guys, i fixed the confyui workflow with sigmas recommended by qwen 2.1 so artifacts are very reduced or no more...

I built a free anime character & prompt library for AI art creator
I'm an AI art creator, and for a while now I've been wanting a better way to organize character prompts, find inspiration, and experiment with different scenes without having to dig through a bunch of different sources.
AuroraIMG-6M Released!
It's a tiny 6M parameter text to image model, and it can make recognizable images at 64x64.
how do you maintain style in minimax h3 ref mode?
I'm providing images with certain style (unique illustration) and the model (regular one) simply change the style.
Minimax h3 veterans (share your wisdom)
When I use Minimax h3 to generate a video with any mode (fl2va/r2va) in most cases it generates good output with really good prompt adherence (mostly).

To those who used to have a 4090, what percentage of speed improvement have you noticed after upgrading to a 5090?
Need help with Illustrious inage gens
I have also been looking around to see which model does anime image best and a lot of people don’t even mention Pony, most people seem to use Illustrious but from what I have experienced Illustrious isn’t doing it for me, is it again due the version of Illustrious?
Will there be another, more up-to-date Anime DIT Model project in the open-source community besides Anima?
My info isn't very current, so I'd like to ask if anyone knows whether there's another, more up-to-date Anime DIT Model project in the open-source community besides Anima?
big or small?
