> Current SD1.5 models that can generate consistent high quality images have been fine-tuned and merged so many times that a lot of general knowledge has been lost, You say that as if it was a bad thing, but it's actually good: GPU memory being a limiting factor means that general knowledge is mostly overhead, it is much better to have 50 specialized model (that you can all store on disk for cheap) that each takes 5 time less GPU memory than a big general model that you'll constantly under-use but still have to load entierly in the GPU memory. And it's even more true for LLMs.
