Figuring out how to train schnell without de-distilling the model required a lot of experimenting, and being able to utilize RunDiffusion's cloud compute made it a lot easier.For those needing API access for this model, we're partnering with <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://runware.ai?utm_source=civitai&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=pixelwave_collab&amp;utm_content=model_launch_post">Runware.ai</a>I have made the FLUX.1-dev 04 version exclusive to RunDiffusion and Runware for the time being.

You can find my fork of <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://github.com/bash-j/kohya_ss/tree/flux-schnell">Kohya here</a> , which also contains changes to the sd-scripts submodule, make sure you clone both.Use the fine tuning tab. I found the best results with the pagedlion8bit optimizer which also could run on my 4090 GPU 24GB. I found other optimizers struggle to learn anything.I have frozen the time_in, vector_in and mod/modulation parameters. This stops the 'de-distillation'.I avoid training single blocks over 15. You can set which blocks to train in the FLUX section.LR 5e-6 trains fast, but you have to stop after a few thousand steps as it starts to corrupt blocks and slow down learning.You can then block merge with an earlier checkpoint, replacing the corrupt blocks, and then continue training further.Signs of corrupt blocks: paper texture over most images, loss of background details.<h2 id="contact-quajg2ln1">Contact</h2>For business or commercial inquiries please reach out to us at <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="mailto:pixelwave@rundiffusion.com">pixelwave@rundiffusion.com</a>.

This can cause images to look 'overcooked', but it's just the CLIP following your prompt. 🙂 If you do want vibrant, neon photos PixelWave will provide!The focus for version 10 was to train the CLIP models, which improves the reliability, ensures you can produce a wide variety of styles, and better at following prompts.Thanks to my friends who helped test: <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/user/masslevel">masslevel</a>, <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/user/bblink787">blink</a>, <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/user/socalguitarist">socalguitarist</a>, <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/user/klinter">klinter</a>, <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/user/WizardWhitebeard">wizard whitebeard</a>.<a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/articles/3530/upscaling-prompts-with-lm-studio-and-mikey-nodes">Guide: Upscaling Prompts with LM Studio and Mikey Nodes</a><a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/articles/3532/add-more-details-by-using-the-skip-step-method">Guide: Add more details to your image using the skip step method</a>No need for the refiner model.This model is not a mix of other models.I also created <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://github.com/bash-j/mikey_nodes">Mikey Nodes</a> which contains a lot of useful nodes.
