Apparently Ideogram 4 may be the new king of AI image generation. This guy has only trained an Ideogram LoRa for a few days, training run not even close to finished yet and already it is creating better quality NSFW than Flux Klein or Zimage that has taken months for them. Ideogram seems to converge incredibly quickly in training, it seems to respond lightning fast to lora training. His sample images are out of this world(vaginas still need more training time, but it will come), maybe in a month it will be indistinguishable from Met-Art style nudes. Unfortunately the base model will not be released as it is locked behind enterprise level commercial license. So training on the quantized model is going to be very hard as distilled models are bad for training/fine tuning. Interested to hear your take on it Coyotte. https://huggingface.co/RazzzHF/Realism_Engine_Ideogram_4/tree/main

po vaj, 3) We should be careful about praising models with restrictive licenses. If we embrace them, we risk setting a precedent where every new 'open-weight' release feels entitled to impose these kinds of limitations. We’re essentially voting for a future where 'open' doesn't actually mean open.
TLDR: I REALLY don't think it's worth the risk.
