This sub has SERIOUSLY slept on Chroma. Chroma is basically Flux Pony. It’s not merely “uncensored but lacking knowledge.” It’s the thing many people have been waiting for

I’ve been active on this sub basically since SD 1.5, and whenever something new comes out that ranges from “doesn’t totally suck” to “Amazing,” it gets wall to wall threads blanketing the entire sub during what I’ve come to view as a new model “Honeymoon” phase.

All a model needs to get this kind of attention is to meet the following criteria:

1: new in a way that makes it unique

2: can be run on consumer gpus reasonably

3: at least a 6/10 in terms of how good it is.

So far, anything that meets these 3 gets plastered all over this sub.

The one exception is Chroma, a model I’ve sporadically seen mentioned on here but never gave much attention to until someone impressed upon me how great it is in discord.

And yeah. This is it. This is Pony Flux. It’s what would happen if you could type NLP Flux prompts into Pony.

I am incredibly impressed. With popular community support, this could EASILY dethrone all the other image gen models even hidream.

I like hidream too. But you need a lora for basically EVERYTHING in that and I’m tired of having to train one for every naughty idea.

Hidream also generates the exact same shit every time no matter the seed with only tiny differences. And despite using 4 different text encoders, it can only reliably do 127 tokens of input before it loses coherence. Seriously though all that vram on text encoders so you can enter like 4 fucking sentences at the most before it starts forgetting. I have no idea what they were thinking there.

Hidream DOES have better quality than Chroma but with community support Chroma could EASILY be the best of the best
