I have to say, the only benefit ive experienced from this update was now text renders better. But every other aspect is worse.
The worst seems to be the simple lack of clarifying news about the update. People on reddit are confused and wondering what is going on.
Just let us know if this is permanent and what the changes were so we can adjust, or let us know if we can relax and things will be fixed at some point.
The drastically reduced token count is ruining generators that use style mixing. We used to be make to make amazing unique images, now things seem to default to cartoons.
the style tags on many generators used to be able to mitigate the tendency for the images to skew toward cartoons, but they no longer seem to work.
Weights are totally broken, no more boosting terms to even things out or control the prompt better.
we can still make photo-real images but we can make complex scenes as we have to dedicate so much of the prompt to the quality/camera terms to make the image not be a cartoon. If weights worked we could try to boost a smaller amount of tokens and have more room for the actual prompt we want to achieve. The token count is so small it fights us every step.
So please, just give us some news about what your intentions are!
PLEASE!
