I paid extra to get the higher quality model using the in-app purchase option. It crushes the phone's battery life, but runs in only ~10 seconds on an iPhone 13 Pro for a single 1000x1000 input image.
- ZeWaka 4y agoI mean, waifu2x and similar waifuxx libraries are free and open-source, there's really no reason to pay for it if you're working on a desktop.

- andybak 4y agoThings have moved on a considerable amount since waifu2x Try https://github.com/n00mkrad/cupscale https://github.com/n00mkrad/cupscale
- eigenvalue 4y agoThanks, that’s actually the “better” model that I referenced. You can buy it with an in-app purchase using the waifu2x app.
- MrBra 4y agoI've recently updated waifu2x and I've seen it now supports lots of algorithms for different use cases and contexts and it also supports other tasks like frame interpolation. So could you briefly explain in what is cupscale better than it?
- andybak 4y agoCupscale supports multiple models tuned for different types of content (including Anime like waifu2x): https://upscale.wiki/wiki/Model_Database https://upscale.wiki/wiki/Model_Database
- MrBra 4y agoAs I said Waifu2x too supports many different models aimed at different content, so what's the big improvement with Cupscale?
- andybak 4y agoWell in that case I might be wrong. Considering waifu2x is the name of an algorithm I assumed it was just that algorithm. There's also no mention of other models on the demo page or the Github page as far as I can see.
- MrBra 4y agoMy bad! Yes Waifu2x is just a single algorithm, you are right. The confusion originates from the fact that I was using a GUI project for Waifu2x called "Waifu2x Extension GUI" (https://github.com/AaronFeng753/Waifu2x-Extension-GUI https://github.com/AaronFeng753/Waifu2x-Extension-GUI) which other than Waifu2x also supports other algorithms like Real-ESRGAN, Real-CUGAN, SRMD, RealSR, Anime4K, RIFE, IFRNet, CAIN, DAIN, and ACNet. So as you said Cupscale is surely more advanced than Waifu2x (the single algorithm), but do you think it's also better than Waifu2x Extension GUI?
- eigenvalue 4y agoYes, but I usually find myself playing with this stuff when I have some free time and relaxing outside or on the couch, and it’s nice to be able to do it all on the phone.
