Krea 2 Turbo LoRA developer experiments with GAN critic and 2-step generation

A developer is experimenting with a new training method for the Krea 2 Turbo LoRA, incorporating a GAN critic in the latent space that is partially trained on real photographs. This technique, termed LADD-style (Latent Adversarial Diffusion Distillation), significantly slows down training but has yielded promising results. An extreme test of this in-progress LoRA involved running it at only 2 steps (outside its specified 4 steps), which produced coherent and sharp images, suggesting potential for a future, properly trained 2-step LoRA for faster previews. AI

IMPACT This experimental technique could lead to faster image generation previews for users of the Krea 2 Turbo LoRA.

RANK_REASON The item describes an experimental technique for a LoRA, not a new model release or significant industry event.

    Krea2 Turbo Distill 4 step LoRA (NOT a New Checkpoint... YET to share / still mid training) ... but fun 2-step extreme experiment with surprising results... (OUT OF TRAINING SPEC, which is 4 steps!)
