For me, the new image model just doesn't work at all, even wait times are horrible. And the result is unfortunately not worth that wait to me.

Does anyone know what was used as the old model? I would love to be able to continue using that in any way.

And same question for the text generating model, as I know (at)perchance mentioned wanting to upgrade it next... Damn, updates should cause excitement, not anxiety! What's wrong with me?

Thank you for fixing, it's much better now!

Has been happening to me as well. I've noticed that, if you repeatedly tap on the field while it's verifying, it verifies you much quicker. Maybe it's a placebo though lol

UPD2: started happening again, though this time it isn't preceded by two opening brackets. Also many messages appear with broken formatting, regenerations sometimes seem to stack on each other instead of replacing, and wrong perspective reappeared.

This time it actually was quite short-lived and got remedied after about half an hour. Probably was a random Internet connection hiccup on my side, rather than a Perchance problem. Thank you.

An issue very similar to yesterday's reappeared (but only with ai-character-chat, ai-text-to-image-generator is fine), may you please check?

I do appreciate your response. What I guess bugs me even more than this new model, though, is lack of communication from (at)perchance. No announcement for the new model, no warning. This post-factum clarification is fine, I think, but it doesn't feel enough. I'm not saying that they must pander to any whim, but with such backlash (here, reddit, etc.), some more direct kind of response is expected.

UPD: hasn't happened since. Either fixed by now or an extremely rare glitch (happened to me only once).

Around 06:30-07:00 UTC, if I remember correctly.
