Kohya is down, so no further updates for my models...

I know Civitai won’t be happy with this post, but I’ve been forced to put my LoRa model generation on hold following the discontinuation of the Kohya engine.

The engine built into the site is still down, despite reports being logged under ‘Known Issues’, and I suspect fixing the bugs will no longer be a priority given that Kohya is reaching the end of its life cycle… And like many others, I’m not convinced by AI Toolkit at the moment. In the meantime, I’ll look into finding a local or cloud-based solution, hoping to update the WWW characters in Illustrious before turning my attention to Anima or Krea 2.

If the Civitai team are reading this, I know you won’t be pleased, that you can’t please everyone, that you’ve made your decisions, and that I’m one of those contributors who doesn’t matter to you (which is normal – no subscription, everything’s free with the Blue Buzz!). Please know that this message isn’t directed against you, but we’d still like to retain the option to use whichever training engine we choose.
