    I've now converted all my (non-failed) LoRAs to Illustrious! What's next + Requests for PDXL v2s.

    After a long month and a third of constant conversions, I've finally gotten all of my Pony LoRAs (except Moon and Djinn, which didn't work well enough to bother without major overhauls) trained for Illustrious. The last of these plus one new LoRA I've already made will be releasing over the next week+. The ability to generate with scheduled posts (and potential threat of a training price increase) made me decide to try to get them all done at once.

    Along the way I made several revisions of varying intensity. For most it was just forcing the trigger word to be first for a mild improvement (?) to learning at minimal cost, but for several I changed tags, added new pictures and (in one case) took a few away pictures I suspected of having led training astray. Since I have all the fixed training data and wound up having much less of a net loss of Buzz than expected (thus retaining more stockpile), I'm actually in a position to make V2s for Pony. If anyone has any requests for a Pony V2 using the significantly altered data of the Illustrious version (the changes will be noted on the model page, possibly under version info) tell me so I can try that whenever I want easy content for a day (I'm hoping I can get enough LoRAs crammed out to have one per day for the rest of the month, just to get 2 months of back to back to back LoRAs). I've got a backlog of ideas I've built up, some of which even have training data assembled, so I'm not doing other forms of request but it's nice to have some easy options.

    Incidental observation: Even with over a LoRA a day for the last 30 days, I'm still not even on the top 500 trainers leaderboard (measuring the most system time used for training over the last 30 days). That's particularly interesting because a large chunk of the top 100 don't have any public models posted.

    Edit: Realize I should mention this and here sounds like a good place to say it. My new LoRAs going forward will be Illustrious first. I'll port them to Pony after everyone has had a few days of them being released to play with them and tell me any flaws I can try to correct during the porting.
