AuraFlow

What is AuraFlow?

AuraFlow is a flow-based text2image model developed by fal.ai. It is released under the Apache-2.0 license and is characterized by being lightweight and easy to handle.

There are some movements to move from SDXL, and Pony V7, a representative example of this, is also introduced here.

The basic construction is almost the same as SD1.5 / SDXL.

Pony V7 : AuraFlow-based Anime Model

It is an anime-oriented model based on AuraFlow, created as a successor to Pony Diffusion V6 XL.

• 🟦 T5TokenizerOptions
  • A node that fills with padding if the number of tokens is below the set value. There is no big difference whether you include it or not.
• The official workflow was euler_normal, but since the lines tended to be chaotic, CFG++ (Improved CFG Guidance) is used here.
  • It adjusts conventional CFG smoothly, making lines easier to stabilize.
