A new image generation model, Agate-003-preview, has been released, boasting performance comparable to SD 1.5 with significantly fewer parameters. This efficiency is attributed to a novel planner architecture that operates in low resolution before rendering, combined with a weighted loss function prioritizing salient image areas. The development and training of Agate-003-preview were remarkably cost-effective, requiring only 5000 EUR in GPU costs and a limited amount of GPU hours, making it accessible for further fine-tuning and specialized tasks.
