Simple comparison of the models (Base on Personal opinion)
1. SDXL: Best for producing high-quality, realistic images and works well with various styles. It excels in detail enhancements, especially for faces, and offers many good LoRA variations. It generates large, sharp images that are perfect for detailed projects. However, some images may appear distinctly "AI-generated," which might not suit everyone's preference.
2. Pony Diffusion: Known for its artistic flexibility, it doesn’t copy specific artist styles but gives beautiful, customizable results. It is also fine-tuning capable, producing stunning SFW and NSFW visuals with simple prompts. Users can describe characters specifically, making it versatile for various creative needs.
3. SD3: Focuses on generating realistic and detailed images, offering more control and customization than earlier versions. Despite the many controversies surrounding SD3, SD3 is also widely used in Comfyui.
4. Flux: Ideal for fixing image issues like anatomy or structure problems. It enhances image quality by adding fidelity and detail, particularly in text and small image elements, can provide a clearer concept, better prompt implementation with more natural depiction.
5. Kolors: Great for styling, and make colorful and vibrant artwork, especially in fantasy or creative designs.
6. Auraflow: Specializes in smooth, flowing images, often with glowing or ethereal effects, perfect for fantasy or sci-fi themes.
