New tiny latent upscaler SesquiLSR released for AI image models

A new, small, and fast latent upscaler called SesquiLSR has been developed for use with various AI image generation models. This upscaler aims to improve efficiency by avoiding the lossy VAE roundtrip typically involved in upscaling latent representations. SesquiLSR is designed to be a replacement for basic upscaling methods like bilinear or bicubic, offering better quality while maintaining speed. AI

IMPACT Offers a more efficient latent upscaling method for AI image generators, potentially improving workflow speed and quality.
