Updates on Lora Resizing and More

I want to start by saying thank you to all of my amazing users who have been patiently waiting for SDXL and Pony XL loras to be resized. I hear you, and I understand the need for these resized models. Unfortunately, my local iMac doesn't have the necessary GPU or CPU resources to handle this task, which is why it's taking some time.

However, I'm exploring alternative solutions using server-side tools, and I'll be attempting to resize the loras soon. Please keep in mind that I have over 300+ loras to work through, so this will take some time. I appreciate your understanding and patience in this matter.

A friendly reminder: please don't use the Civitai review system to express your frustration about the resizing delay. Thumbs down are not an effective way to communicate, and I'm committed to delivering the best possible experience for all users.

As I work on resizing the loras, I'll also be focusing on learning more about the optimal dimensions and alpha settings that will allow for smaller file sizes while maintaining quality. This is an ongoing process, and I appreciate your feedback and support.

Model Updates!

On a separate note, I'm excited to announce that Virtual Diffusion on Pony XL checkpoint update is coming soon! This will be an Early Access release, and I'll be setting the price lower, just like I did with Hellaine Pony XL. I want to assure you that Early Access is not about "money hoarding," but rather a way for creators like me to recoup some of the costs associated with training loras and making checkpoints.

Personal Notes & Thanks

On a personal note, I'm working hard to balance my mental health, work, and other passions. I'm excited to share that I'm working on new music that's not AI-focused, and I'm also enjoying my time playing Final Fantasy XIV. Speaking of which, I have some fun news in the works for all the XIV nerds out there who've enjoyed my AI replications of Final Fantasy XIV content. Stay tuned for a special celebration!

Once again, thank you to my incredible userbase for your patience, support, and understanding. I'm grateful to have such a wonderful community behind me, and I'm excited to continue creating and innovating for you all.

Stay tuned for more updates, and thank you for being part of this journey!
