Is a reason to use SD3 when Flux is much much better, with a much better license?
I don't think so. They're going to have to do a lot better than a tutorial to win people back. That said, the two Flux models being distilled making them close to impossible to fine-tune sucks too.
People have been training great Flux LoRAs for a while now, haven't they? Is a LoRA not a finetune, or have I misunderstood something?
Last I heard, LoRAs cause catastrophic forgetting in the model, and full fine-tuning doesn't really work.
quite the opposite. Lora's are very effective against catastrophic forgetting, and full finetuning is very dangerous (but also much more powerful).
Oh well, in practice I'll just continue to enjoy this (possibly forgetful and not-fully-finetunable) model then, that still gives me amazing results 😊
kohya now supports flux fine tuning. I have seen nice examples in civitai.
Those might just be LoRA merged models, not full fine-tuning. From what I heard, fine-tuning doesn't work because the models are distilled. You'd have to find a way to undistill them to train them.
