A potential fix for MOSS training issues....

So I compared MOSS's training sigmas with Krea 2's and it was like looking at MiniMax all over again.

Key points

  • I went to bed, then got up again, because something from my MiniMax H3 training wouldn't leave me alone - on H3 I had to shift the share of training steps at the clean end of the noise range (where faces and fine detail get refined) before likeness came good.
  • I've just pushed an update (v8.7.0) with a new Clean-end share option for MOSS training, on by default at 60%.
  • My test run is going as I write - previews are holding their composition between epochs, and at epoch 12 it had already passed the best likeness my previous settings got to in 30 epochs.
  • Numbers so far - same 53-image dataset, rank 16, 0.25 MP, LR 1e-4, same seed, ArcFace likeness vs 3 reference photos:
