For this training experiment, we first spent many days rigorously translating the textual elements (slogans, captions, titles, inset poems, speech fragments, etc), with form/signification/rhymes intact, throughout every image subsequently used for training.
These translated textographic elements were, furthermore, re-placed by us into their original visual contexts, using fonts matched up to the sources.
We then manually composed highly detailed paragraph-long captions, wherein we detailed both the graphic and the textual content of each piece, its layout, as well as the most intuitive/intended apprehension of each composition.
This second version of the resultent LoRA was trained on our custom Schnell-based checkpoint (Historic Color 2), available [here in fp8 Safetensors](https://huggingface.co/AlekseyCalvin/HistoricColorSoonrFluxV2/tree/main) and [here in Diffusers format](https://huggingface.co/AlekseyCalvin/HistoricColorSoonr_v2_FluxSchnell_Diffusers).
The training went for 5000 steps at a DiT Learning Rate of .00002, batch 1, with the ademamix8bit optimizer, and both text encoders trained alongside the DiT!
No synthetic data was used for the training, nor any auto-generated captions! Everything was manually and attentively pre-curated with a deep respect for the sources used.
This is a **rank-32/alpha-64 Constructivist Art & Soviet Satirical Cartoon LoRA for Flux** (whether of a [Dev](https://huggingface.co/black-forest-labs/FLUX.1-dev), a [Schnell](https://huggingface.co/black-forest-labs/FLUX.1-schnell), or a [Soon®](https://huggingface.co/AlekseyCalvin/HistoricColorSoonr_Schnell) sort...)
