for any model to even be placed in the sentence " the flux killer" it needs to be free, OPEN SOURCE, locally runnable, training enabled....if its missing any of those components, then all your doing is making a clickbait title. compare apples to apples...."red panda the MIDJOURNEY killer" would be a maybe statement....

Recraft really deserves a full video, I've played around with it over the weekend and it actually feels like a tool for doing real work. They have a mockup feature that's saves a lot of time.

On the free Recraft plan, all generated images are not yours: "Images are owned by Recraft. Upgrade to own all your next generations." So probably can't use them anywhere commercially.

Honestly Bro... either we watched the same shows as kids, we went to school together or we were separated at birth... But your Humor and oneliners are GOLDEN! I subscribed during the Pika prompts days and I had no idea what I was getting into! Keep doing what you doing bro and keep filling the AI/media need. If you build it ... they will come! (Remember when SNL was actually funny? Then you mix that with the Nightly News but just AI Tech stuff and a dose of Seinfeld) that's how I describe Theoretically Media. I'm going to be in bed tonight hearing: "The calls were coming from inside the house" and laughing myself to sleep. Great job Tim!

Vector output is huge. As a 2d animator this is a game changer!

As a graphic designer, the ability to get SVG's I can use in Illustrator is kind of sick.

When you made the ELO joke I had flashbacks to the 70s.

Cyberpunk lady really shows what it can do. I judge image gens with my standard character and the recent generators like flux and this are pretty impressive.

Wow, that Blendbox layer feature is wild. Midjorney needs that ASAP! You got great taste in movies and tv-series. Dark was amazingly complex, and earlier you also mentioned Mr. Robot.

[GospelProgressionsUniversity]

WOW @7:47 Being able to generate vector images is def gonna change the game. At least as far as graphic design and animation are concerned that is a gonna be a ginormous time saver.

[SylenixStudio]

Midjourney still no.1, for their aesthetic images and custom character reference and Style reference and other stuff,

We don't need random images, we can control images that can be used in consistent character and film making 😅

[AIForWinner]

The video introduces a new AI image generator called "Red Panda, " which is considered a "killer" of Flux and Midjourney with its impressive, free capabilities. Thank you for sharing

I cannot help but say YOU ARE THE BEST! I LOVE this channel.

[achliscantplay]

I absolutely HATE canvases. Can anyone explain the appeal to me, please? 😢 I keep accidentally shifting elements around, there is no way to sort/align elements automatically, mouse wheel zooms instead of scrolling, etc., etc. What is the appeal and the convenience?!

Loved Kaiber so much, exactly because of impressionist look, ability to set camera movement, flexible time approach, and audio reactivity - and they are becoming just another API aggregator, with the stupid nodes of semi-realistic-yet-crappy and unusable other generators 😢

Sadness.

Will have to wait and see what kind of video gen Midjourney will make.

[philipdstudio]

The “botched” Terminator video box actually looks spot on…for a cheap import/knock off video sold by a NYC street vendor. Nice to see Red Panda has a sense of humor 😂

(Re-commenting now that I watched the video more carefully) Interesting video! Some points:
- Vector generation is the big story here about the model. Hopefully that is the model, not just a "Live Trace" of a posterized raster image. Based on the video it seems legit because of the layers, but hard to say as the layers it created are a bit non-sense
- The ELO score thingie sounds easily spoofed if you can recognize the telltales of base models or read meta data from a picture so I wouldn't trust it much as a highly motivated maker can likely buy votes.
- The interface is also cool, and it's an attempt at monetizing basic things a power user can do in Comfy with any model (except vector). Since those basic things and ComfyUI itself are not so basic for 90% of users out there, it makes sense to package those workflows in a good UX and make it more acessible to casual users.

Jay walking was just made legal in NY, so the blue man in the business suit walking in the street makes perfect sense.

[arimuraminami]

There are many AI image generators, but I like Google Imagen 3 the most, because it can create images of traditional clothes very accurately, and can depict places in the world very well

The phrase "our old chestnut" is well on its way to becoming the new old chestnut.

Nice content, mate! Thank you for sharing it!
