Moss is the new SDXL

Not this time with Moss, and I'm very hyped to see what tunes we're getting in the coming weeks (especially for the more spicy ones πŸ‘€)

Proof1 community thread

Key points

  • Relatively lightweight, ZERO censorship, incredibly easy to train on,excellent base capabilities for its size and FINALLY the first model in forever to not have been RL'd to death on 1girl standing realistic.
  • The finetunes we're gonna get out of this model are gonna be crazy, never got that feeling with all the Flux/Qwen/Zimage/Krea releases.
  • Granted they're good models on their own, but wrestling them into training submission was such a pain in the ass...
