finetuning
is fine-tuning possible?
This is my question as well.
The simple answer is "yes", if you check CivitAI, you'll find out people already have done a lot of stuff with this model. I don't know why most of them don't bother to share the details...
Update:
Apparently most of those models are combinations of an already available XL model with the Turbo model. I'm on it, if I get acceptable results, I will let you know.
Great, will look forward to your findings!
may be LoRA weights can work out of the box with this model? anyone?
@Muhammadreza So if I have to fine-tune a pre-trained model on around 10,000 image-caption pairs (domain specific), with a very very low budget, what do you recommend. This model or something else? I presume I will be using a combination of LoRa and Dreambooth? Am I on the right track.
@kushbhuwalka44
To be honest, I'd suggest you use 1.5 base then, because fine tuning 1.5 on a budget machine (Google Colab Pro or Pro+, RunPod, even a local 3090/4090 GPU) is much easier and faster. But the results will not be this good.
I suggest you go EMU (Meta's method), keep a small dataset on very good quality images for more epochs/steps in fine tuning.
@Muhammadreza Thanks for your response. Do you have any tips on fine-tuning?
