Weekly CivitAI changelog dicussion thread, October 2

https://civitai.red/changelog?id=290

On time today! Discuss these changed logs here. As usual, my hot takes:

• Flux 3 Image: Haven't tried it beyond the article cover, it's quite pricey. If I had to guess I'd say it's probably pretty good. Oh wait, it won't do "folded ponytail", so it's utterly useless.

• Ideogram 4.5: Great, now you can also have your EDITS be eaten by model refusal.

• Aspect Raito: Good change, though the ideal change (arbitrary dimensions) is coming Soon™, and even then not for everything for now it seems.

• A whole bunch of detail fixes and features for the new trainer: Very necessary, though I still doubt it's enough.

• Loss graph on the new trainer: Well, that's a good reason to use that, if I ever figure out how to properly interpret a loss .jpg graph. Or maybe not, because:

• A single R image will make the bill say "yellow". This makes the new trainer essentially useless - until this comes to the old trainer, naturally. Biggest shitstorm in a year+ incoming. Yes, I have submitted a less catastrophic feature suggestion. They're "considering it".

• Raise your own rating: This is an extremely sensible feature that should have always been there. I wonder if they realize that this allows you to submit anything to Challenges that demand strictly NSFW though.

• Schedule post time minimum is 10m: Great change, only kinda pointless now that scheduling is generally no longer mandatory. Just makes me wonder why the 1h limit was introduced at all.

• Accurate generation prices when you change Denoise: That's a crazy bad bug to have, and I hope I wasn't the only one who reported it. Only took a month to fix too. Sheesh.

• Upcoming sponsored slots on model pages: 🙄

Unannounced changes:

• Draft mode got removed, but apparently they are working on bringing it back.
