Turbo edits showdown: FIbo 2 edit vs Klein 9b vs Qwen 2.1 at 1 megapixel. (Caveats and links to the viewer in description)

I was curious how Fibo fares against the rest of the solid editors and if it is time to swap.

Key points

  • Comparing edits is a pain on reddit so I've put together a small website:
  • TLDR: for my cases Qwen 2.1 still is the best, but FIbo might be a great option if the community supports it.
  • Although I've run bare prompts as is and tried using "best" prompt enhancers for each model, the initial prompts are all over the place: some are super detailed, some are simple and a lot depends on enhancer model.
  • Even on meme swaps I was able to get much better results with Klein and Qwen with adjusted prompts and BFS + consistency loras.
