Comment on Some thoughts on Pony v7 deciding to use AuraFlow (PonyFlow)

I had no idea this took so much VRAM. I assumed it was around SDXL in size. Also, I don’t feel like the super artists thing is going to solve the problem of ugly, generic styles. It’s just going to make several boring styles you’re going to want to LoRA away. Which is a problem on a model with such high requirements already.

fwiw, an update I didn’t see before:
From /r/StableDiffusion/comments/1gpa65w/v7_updates_on_civitai_twitch_stream_tomorrow_nov/lwxc7jj/
It’s still huge and restrictive to consumer GPUs, although that’s already reduced by 1/3, and optimistically they could be right about this number going down as optimizations happen (see the Mochi quote).
I just assumed that since AuraFlow is competing with FLUX and SD3.5 that it would be closer to them. Honestly Pony v6 will probably be alive and active until higher VRAM GPUs become more and more normal.
