imagen-pytorch VS Waifu2x-Extension-GUI

If google doesnt, someone like lucidrains probably would implement it, just like he did for imagen and muse.

lucidrains/imagen-pytorch: Implementation of Imagen, Google's Text-to-Image Neural Network, in Pytorch (github.com)

Hi Can someone guide me a little, as to how i can use LAION dataset to train my imagen model? like how i can download the data, and in which format it should be fed to https://github.com/lucidrains/imagen-pytorch code?

If we were to put money into training something, I'd hope we use a better model, like Imagen.

I've been messing around with this open-source implementation. You can get a pretty good idea of the model size by just copying the parameters from the paper.

I'm waiting on this implementation/training of imagen: https://github.com/lucidrains/imagen-pytorch

I'm honestly surprised that they trained a StyleGAN. Recently, the Imagen architecture has been show to be both easier in structure, easier to train, and even faster to produce good results. Combined with the "Elucidating" paper by NVIDIA's Tero Karras you can train a 256px Imagen to tolerable quality within an hour on a RTX 3090.

Here's a PyTorch implementation by the LAION people:

And here's 2 images I sampled after training it for some hours, like 2 hours base model + 4 hours upscaler:

The software in question is on Github called Waifu2x-Extension-GUI https://github.com/AaronFeng753/Waifu2x-Extension-GUI

Waifu2x GUI

I used a program called Waifu2x-Extension-GUI. It’s fantastic for upscaling animation shows (and yes it supports video upscales too)! There are web-app versions out there with the same name, but the results I get from those are nowhere near as good. If anyone’s unable to download or figure it out, I’d be happy to upscale any images you want!

I heard topaz may be the best but you can try bsrt, video2x and waifu2x ext gui.

I do my upscaling with Waifu2x, specifically with this really well made GUI https://github.com/AaronFeng753/Waifu2x-Extension-GUI

4090 is very fast in this regard. It takes about 6 hours or so for a film that is 1.5 hours. The software is called Waifu2x Extension GUI by Aaron Feng. It's free to use, but you'll get a pop-up asking to donate. It gets constant updates, which is always a major plus. Here's the GitHub: https://github.com/AaronFeng753/Waifu2x-Extension-GUI I used the RealCugan AI Model since I found it yields the best results in terms of speed and quality. You can use RealESRGAN for Live works, but it will take significantly longer. Sidenote: You can use it on blurry pictures as well (Since videos are simply a series of frames/still images)
