   I think the baseline can def be improved. But I suspect the gap between 60% and 99% would be so wide that it would still take a significant amount of time for the human creator

   just did some rough math. 1k session = 750 minutes compute time with our current GPU instance = $9.375. so gladly not broke yet! (rough math might be wrong, need to double check later)

   that's way more experimental than my prompts! glad it held up. From what I know if you try to generate animals as main characters it breaks p bad lol

   Yeah, the characters aren't truly consistent yet. We did what we could to make them mostly look the same. I might be adding inpainting to help address this. Right now you can just regenerate a couple times in editor and pick the most c

   Yes, we didn't actually solve consistency, although the way we did it makes the same character pretty similar on the same page. If you do some more regenerates of a single panel, you can find some generations that are similar. I MIGHT

   This makes total sense, and that's how I work too. Comic artists, animators and directors all spend a lot of time on storyboarding before actual production. I'll share that the current design is to allow 99% of people to make at l

    My issue previously with these prebuilt backends is that you can't tweak it like sdwebui does, but to make our thing work it took a thousand tweaks. Can look into this first to see how customizable it is.

    Hi Alex, great catch -> We didn't solve consistency, but we saw that if you regenerate a few times, you usually get something that's visually similar. Right now AI artists all do loads of postprocessing - using AI, so later we

    - I intended for anyone to be able to use this - so def no worries - No pricing yet, everything is free since it's early beta, but I'm thinking a subscription for a bunch of credits style like Midjourney. - Yes, we are YC

    Woaaa love these inputs. Thank you! Wasn't aware of the JAX backend will check it out. Right now we're on SD 1.5. We tried SDXL but found the quality improvement to be marginal. Yes to area prompting/regional control to help
