New Akium sampler enhances AI image generation detail and variety

A new AI image generation sampler named Akium has been released, designed to improve detail and variety in generated images. This sampler uses a second-order stochastic approach, incorporating a "momentum" to guide the denoising process and reduce unnecessary noise. An experimental AkiumColor variant is also available for more saturated output. Akium is compatible with both Forge and ComfyUI platforms, with installation instructions provided for each. AI

IMPACT Offers improved image generation quality for users of Stable Diffusion platforms.
