<h1 id="flux:-ame4ku3xn">Flux:</h1>A Flux dev version of the SDXL images and captions. Please check the version description for more information. I've included the preview wildcards as well. I tried to mirror the SDXL training workflow more closely in an attempt to homogenize the process for both models. Captions were closer to the mixed tag/natural language format of the SDXL process rather than my previous overly verbose Flux training prompts.<h2 id="overview:-ezdf1a1qt">Overview:</h2><ul><li>Model consists of five of her cosplay sets, Alya, Kotori, Momo, Nagatoro, and Rin.</li><li>Masked training was not used.</li><li>Regularization was not used.</li><li>Dreambooth trained using the <code>sd3-flux.1</code> branch of the Kohya_ss scripts.</li><li>Dreambooth trained on Flux.1-Dev (fp16), then LoRA extracted.</li></ul>The training was tested using the MGAS comparison method to find the best extracted-epoch.

Caticornplay [Flux/XL] (r557)

Initial Release - Version 1.0Dreambooth trained on 75 images, broken up into 5 sets of 15 images with one set for each cosplay (one concept), using the <code>sd3-flux.1</code> branch of the Kohya_ss scripts. Training was done for 175 epochs in batches of 1. Finally, the LoRA was extracted using Koyha_ss script's utility tab.<ul><li>Total trained steps: (5 x 15) x 1 x 175/ 1 = 13,125- or 2,625 per cosplay/concept</li><li>Extracted LoRA rank/alpha = 32/(dynamic)</li></ul>
