A model trained on BF16 that within the range of FP16 have effective bit rate of 13-bit at max (e5m7). Reasonable quantization (at 8-bit) gets you weight error (i.e. L2 distance on weights) down to I think there is a line somewhere between 4-bit to 8-bit that will hurt performance (for both diffusion models and LLM). But I doubt the line is between 8-bit to 13-bit. (Another case in point: you can use generic lossless…

I buy these kinds of arguments but the moment a company or NeurIPS researcher claims even a "tiny" bit of loss happens, I become suspicious. I don't buy most claims of "we get 99%+ of the performance" made in practice. But yes, I do believe that we will find proper lossless quants, and eventually (for real this time) get "only a little bit of loss" quants, but I don't think that the current 8 bits are there yet. Also…

I wonder if there is a case for thinking about it in terms of the technical definitions:

If we start from peering into quantization, we can show it is by definition lossy, unless every term had no significant bits past the quantization amount.

so our lower bound must that 0.03% error mentioned above.

Looks like I still need a discord or a google account and can't just use regular email?

While I understand that they might need some account or token to stop abuse, just having my sign in is a big no for anything I just want to try out. After the whole social media trend more or less collapsed into a privacy invading data collection nightmare, I've been extremely reluctant to sign up for anything.

You still only get 10 free 'trial' image generations anyway.

Because they don’t like the fact that the majority of custom content for uncensored models is hardcore porn.

Which honestly is rather silly for the companies making the models. The cat's already out of the bag, and if a competitor manages to make a similar/good-enough (uncensored) model there's nothing midjourney etc will have going for them. Or as someone once said, if they took porn off the internet, there'd only be one website left, and it'd be called "Bring Back the Porn!".

Isn't that where generative AI seem headed anyway? Censorship is ramping up fast, and hype is dying down faster.

I'm so glad that Midjourney and Flux is making creativity accessible to everyone, I don't need to have a subscription to MJ anymore now that Flux is getting better. Everybody can now be an artist and have creativity for free now. What a time to be alive.

Creativity has always been accessible to everyone. Creativity is a concept which only requires imagination. Those ideas can take many forms, including writing, cooking, sewing, doing skateboard tricks… It doesn’t mean rearranging pixels on screen by vaguely describing something.

But now we get artists skills for free, so anyone can become an artists with AI.

This is a net positive for the world.

Flux, latest Midjourney, or even dall-e... I'm still disappointed that 3 of my sci-fi prompts never works (interior of an O'Neill Cylinder, Space elevator, rotating space station). I hope someone makes lora of those one day.

I am also still struggling with this. Tried various prompts along the lines of "draw me the inside of a cylindrical space habitat rotating along it's axis to create artificial gravity", like a more detailed:

"Create a highly detailed image of the interior of a massive cylindrical space habitat, rotating along its axis to generate artificial gravity. The habitat's inner surface is divided into multiple sections featuring lush forests, serene lakes, and small, picturesque villages. The central axis of the cylinder emits a soft, ambient light, mimicking natural sunlight, casting gentle shadows and creating a sense of day and night. The habitat's curvature should be evident, with the landscape bending upwards on both sides. Include a sense of depth and scale, highlighting the vastness of this self-contained world."

flux kind of got the idea but the gravity is still off.

Yes, unfortunately. That’s a no-go for me.

Would you mind to elaborate why? I hate google but I dont think it's such a biggie to avoid trying the tool

Equating participating in walled garden social platforms to simply having a computer is bleak

Nonsense. Creating a throwaway account takes a couple of minutes. What a strangely deranged view of the world some people have.

And a phone number in the case of both google and discord.

It is deranged that requiring a phone to access a website is seen as a non-issue, I agree.

Ideogram 2.0 was also released today, and it's nerfed (anatomy is lot worse than 1.0 now) just like StableDiffusion versions after 1.5 which is very disappointing. Well good thing we have Flux out in the open now, both midjourney releasing web version or ideogram releasing there 2.0 on the same day after 2 weeks of flux won't redeem them as much. Flux Dev is amazing, check what SD community is doing with it on https:…

Are there any publicly accessible Flux image generation services you may recommend to check out?

I made a simple one - https://dreamgenerator.ai. (If you pick the “High” image setting), but u have to subscribe to use it, otherwise it gives you stable diffusion.
