What is v34-detail-calibrated?
"the detail calibrated is basically v34 + high res run. 2:1 merge ratio"
I've (kind of) answered myself
It's the chef's kiss, that's what.
I'm not entirely sure what it is, but it's insanely good. It's significantly better and more coherent than any other version I've tried, including generated text
I'm not an expert, but it could be related to the introduction of high-quality, high-resolution images into the training dataset. Early in training, lower-resolution images are typically used to help the model learn fundamental concepts like composition, poses, and structure, etc, without the burden of extremely long training times from higher resolution images. This approach gives the model a solid foundation, but it may lack fine details (maybe that's why it was bad at fingers not a long ago). Once it reaches a certain level of capability, high-resolution images are introduced to help it learn and reproduce those finer details.
@LHC88 when a new checkpoint comes out, Do i pick the detail-calibrated checkpoint or the other one if i am doing photorealism?
I only ask for clarification because often the one without the prefix is commit'ed afterwards, just in case it was an intermediate checkpoint for that version.
It doesn't matter, it never does since it's the same model
