? They are all bad at first for the average person that uses surface level tools, but SD3 won't have the community to tune it because it is proprietary junk and irrelevant now.
What changed between SDXL and SD3? I’m out of the loop on this one.
They realized that no matter how much they charged as a one time fee, the people the got the one time fee enterprise license would eventually cost them more in computational costs them the fee. So they switched it to 6000 image generations, which wasn't enough for most of the community that made fixes and trained loras, so none of the "cool" community stuff will work with SD3.
Maybe I’m out of the loop, but I was under the impression people paying for the enterprise tier were largely using the model on their own hardware, and that the removal of this tier was largely just rent seeking by SD against people improving on their model and selling access to a better version.
Did SD really sell unlimited access to their compute/ image generator for a fixed price? If so that’s just so dumb it’s hard to believe. I only started paying attention to the company recently though, so maybe I’m missing something.
