The site? Image gen is just a plugin on the site. It’s a site for creating generators, which are small programs and pages for creating various randomized content. Image gen is a plugin that can be imported into a generator.

I don’t understand how changing one plugin has ruined the whole site.

What’s wrong? Did something with generator creation break? I’ll admit, I haven’t been here very long, but it all seems pretty cool to me.

From what I can gather, the dev doesn’t like interacting very much. This is something that they do in their spare time as a fulltime dev. They created the perchance platform first and foremost as a way for people to learn code and web development. The AI was always a side feature.

There has also been a lot of grumbling in the perchance community (both here, in the comments of various generators, on reddit, and on the Discord server) about the quality of the previous image generator (plus plenty of feedback via the feedback tool, I’m sure), so it isn’t really a surprise that he/she finally made the switch to a new model after stating that they planned to in more than one post here in this forum.

In addition, I didn’t see anyone (before the change in model) praising the old one… only complaints about the quality, resolution, coherence, etc. Now that a new model is in place, suddenly many people have lots good things to say about the old one.

Bottom line, this is a completely free, uncensored, private, and unlimited service that the dev was kind enough to gift to us. I’m certainly not going to complain when I don’t even know what the final outcome is going to be yet.

You know, a lot of the trouble could have been avoided if people would simply read the notes about the change and have a little patience. It says right in there that the model is still training, so it literally doesn’t have all the data needed to make images similar to the old one, yet. It’s starting at base settings and parameters, so expect a lot of strange variance and “sameness”.

For those wondering why we can’t have the old one as an option still, the answer is simple: memory (RAM). These image models don’t spin up instantly, so they need to remain loaded in memory in order to field requests. To have the old one running at the same time would mean effectively doubling the resources required when the dev is already running on a shoestring budget supported entirely by ad revenue. It’s either one running or the other. In order to train the new model, it must be running, which means the old one can’t run at the same time.

What do you mean? This is a general forum for perchance.org.

I would assume it will be as soon as they are able. Last I heard, they were having some issues getting costs down and proper optimizations in place for the text-to-image model. They also said that it could be ready as soon as April, assuming everything went smoothly with the text-to-image upgrade.

Essentially, sit tight. It will be done when it’s done.

I… wasn’t upset. I’m still not.

As an aside, I only just realized your avatar is a nice landscape image of a river going through hills. From the tiny image on my phone I thought it looked like some cartoon mouse for some reason… I really need new glasses.

You seem to be inferring a lot of things that I didn’t say.

Talking about how you’re not in the drama and avoiding the drama is not, in fact, avoiding the drama. My point was that your post (perhaps unintentionally) came off as extremely sarcastic. If you are truly staying out of the drama, then why did you post what you did? You could have simply said nothing and let this person show their appreciation.

Weren’t you the one that made the post that this is in response to?

Stable Diffusion is an image generator engine, not a text completion engine.

The text completion engine (AI Text Plugin) is likely a fine-tune of Llama 2.5.

That’s a nice screenshot. Did you forget to include a link so we can check it out?

How is “It’s AI” a tip?

I have been having this same error for over a month. I figured it might be isolated and didn’t give it much thought since I keep all my work in a git repo.

That is really awesome news!

Do you have any plans to open up some of the AI settings, such as temperature and token count? It would be really helpful when setting up different kinds of text generation.

Thank you.
