kohya-trainer VS civitai

This longer colab notebook: I did use this one (or one of the slight derivatives of it) and got out a safetensors file, but the lora didn't work at all--I'd use it a increase it's weight but I just would see no effect

It isn't what you are asking for (sry) but I struggled with this thing for way too long until I found out about the Kohya Trainer. https://github.com/Linaqruf/kohya-trainer So much easier with a lot of videos by the various YT folks. Standalone WebUI that just works. Life is good here!

It's seem that he is stable diffusion model creators. In that space, it's less knowing about the code and more experimenting on what would happen in the training. The stable diffusion community has repertoire of fine-tuning tools that is accessible for someone who have no single idea on the code behind it, no different than using application like kohya.

Have you tried out one of the colabs from https://github.com/Linaqruf/kohya-trainer ? The colabs themselves are pretty long, but you just have to read each step and then usually push the button to run that cell, then move on to the next one.

There are a lot of variables that affect what kind of settings to use, but afaik the best solution to finding the right step count for what your training is still just to save multiple epochs and then run a x/y/z plot comparison. If you can't do that locally because of your 4gb card, you could try using Lora colabs that include inference capabilities.

You seem to be a little confused. You wont find an ipynb of a model. You would reference a model via a content portal like hugginface. If your model is hosted there, you dont have to download it to your computer or gdrive first. You just reference it with the hugginface-style reference, ie runwayml/stable-diffusion-v1-5. Some colabs will let you also reference a URL to pull down the model. Example. https://github.com/Linaqruf/kohya-trainer/blob/main/kohya-LoRA-dreambooth.ipynb. In that case, you can get the direct url to a checkpoint, for example at civit.ai. If you're decent at messing around with code, you can deconstruct that code block to use in a different colab. As for gdrive, it's only a couple dollars to get 100G.

Try this colab to train Lora, it can generate image without the UI too

I find it quite funny, especially if you realize that something like 90% of the Stable Diffusion model fine-tunes out there are actually made for generating porn or images of females. Go to the website that has the most image generation models to verify this for yourself: https://civitai.com

WARNING don't visit this site on your work computer.

Remember The Website Obesity Crisis [1] article from 2015, since then [2] things only got worse, and it is been almost 10 years already (at the end of 2024).

Is it foolish to say that in 10 more years you wont be able to navigate the web on a circa 2015 PC ? If nothing changes seems like it.

My old macbook from 2013 with latest Firefox is already can not handle loading https://civitai.com web page with 23.98 MB of JavaScript, it is just hangs for half a minute while trying to render this disaster of web frontend.

One of the most popular free AI image generators right now is Civitai. Civitai uses a cutting-edge AI model to turn text prompts into photorealistic images in seconds.

Soz, I don't like to cross link my accounts, especially with all this TSWift shenanigans going around. But, if you look at https://civitai.com/ plenty of people have links to their ko-fi accounts where you can commission them (heck you may even find me somewhere on there).

civitai.com ?

all the samples images on models at https://civitai.com/ have prompts included. I used to have a bunch of sites that list prompts bookmarked, but I lost all my bookmarks recently :(

https://civitai.com/ most people grab models here these days I think. At least I do. And yeah, make sure to put checkpoints in the model folder, and lora in the lora folder, and hit the refresh button and it should show up.

Go to civitai.com, look for images that look realistic, study their prompts and the models used to generate them.

Tons of models to pick from on Civitai. I have a bunch downloaded for making NPCs for DnD.
