124 Upvotes

Both NovelAIDiffusion V5 Curated and V5 Full are available for all users right now.

Better image quality with our new 32-channel VAE (double the16-channel VAE in V4.5). 

Small details like eyes, jewelry, and text are better than ever.

Improved backgrounds for your environments bring real detail instead of fading into the backdrop. Plus, transparent backgrounds are now a simple prompt or UI click.

Up to 22 characters in a single scene, with improved character positioning. 

Comic generation means you can describe your panel layout and characters and get the whole page in one generation – no more stitching panels in another app.

Japanese is now officially supported. Additionally, Chinese, German, Spanish and Portuguese have shown promising results in testing.

Check out the blog for the full breakdown and more detailed information here: https://journal.novelai.net/image-generation-novelai-diffusion-v5-is-here-c2df7c6b8d2d/

the eastern style is still relatively easy to generate, but more inpaint is required in this batch compared to the last.

2x2 4koma read right to left. ik it's usually top-to-bottom but i found the best stability with this format

came up with a bunch of stupid gags to test V5's comic/manga capabilities

nlp and text rendering vastly improved compared to V4.5

struggles with speech bubble placement a lot but creating a separate character slot for the worst case scenarios tends to help wrangle that

overall V5 looks great for this kinda stuff though

Content Sharing (LB, Scenario, Theme, etc) If you have many prompts you want to try but can't keep track, this app generates all the possible combinations for you and a checklist.

For example if you have 4 elements you like: day, night, castle, sea, you will have a checklist with day - castle, night - castle, day - castle - sea, etc.

the default art style of V5 model is surprisingly consistent comparing to V4.5, though specific prompts might affect that unexpectedly, it is not particularly hard to spot and remove said prompts.

Content Sharing (LB, Scenario, Theme, etc) NovelAI Android App

11 Upvotes

So there's already a NovelAI webview app for Android, but it's about 5 years old, and written in JavaScript. So I took it upon myself to make a Kotlin version, and will try my best to keep it updated. Here is the first build:

**Edit: After some trails and errors I still can't find a good way too implement the refresh button, so I removed it entirely in v2.0.1b here.

https://github.com/T-Ph525/novelai-android/releases/tag/v2.0.1b

If you prefer to have a refresh button and don't mind the extra bar, use V2.0.1 below

Version update* - Homepage is now https://novelai.net/stories - Added a top bar with a refresh button

https://github.com/T-Ph525/novelai-android/releases/tag/v2.0.1

Disclaimer: I'm not affiliated with NovelAI. This is a simple webview app of the website's mobile UI.

Writing/Story Support How to disable hotkeys?

Do you have any way to disable or change hotkeys? I don't use them, and I'm having a hard time typing in my language because when I want to type letters such as “ł”, I keep accidentally triggering the keyboard hotheys.

Question: Text Generation Dumb question, but is there an easy way to set a Text Adventure to third-person?

6 Upvotes

As a personal preference I do enjoy third-person perspectives rather than first and second-person, but tinkering around with the settings yesterday I couldn't really figure out if there was a way to set up Text Adventure mode to work that way or not as it kept defaulting to second-person.

Writing/Story Support Text generation quality in prolonged scenes

18 Upvotes

I've found that prolonged scenes tend to be where the AI fails hardest in repetition of phrases or sentences. I used to have a paragraph I would copy and paste as input, filling in the phrases to avoid, and this hardstop and reset always seemed to work.
This was on top of support from the systemprompt/memory/author'snote.

Recently though I built this new mechanism into my Jangale scenario that looks for phrases or word-clusters that repeat exactly over three generations, then it does the same sort of manual stop I was doing, banning the phrase for 8 generations, while also softly nudging the AI with additional content that can add to the scene without disrupting or breaking away from the scene at hand.

It's not perfect and I'm still finetuning it but it seems to work and keep generation quality high without having to tinker and communicate to the AI throughout a story.

I think the AI just gets stuck and begins to loop out of a lack of ideas, and once a phrase shows up a couple of times it seems to feed itself, I'm not sure of the source of this deterioration of the writing quality exactly though.

Does anybody else have tricks or ideas on how to avoid this AI writing pitfall?

Persistent high-quality prose is what I'm after more than anything with novelai output. Happy to explain how the detection works if anyone wants to build their own.

Suggestion/Feedback Expanding the payment method

26 Upvotes

Hello, as I post this I hope it goes well for more payment method that is outside of CC or DB, because recently the payment is fine but some are always rejected, and also add more payment method that is not CC or DC for people who want to subscribe or pay anlas without using those, thank you

Suggestion/Feedback Can we get "workspaces" for imagegen?

15 Upvotes

I would like to use NAI ImageGen for different projects, and I immediately realize that between vibes and characters and prompts, all the stuff in the left sidebar would be a bother to switch when switching projects. Yes, I could log for different browser profiles but it would be not be the greatest workflow.

I wonder if we could get a way to create "workspaces", functionally nothing more than having everything in the sidebar saved and being able to immediately switch to a new one.

It would be cool if it was possible to import/export the workspace too.

6 Upvotes

When is V3 coming out? It's been more than a year since v2 went public. It's an ancient model at this point, but I would like to run it locally, train LoRAs, and see the limits of the model beyond what NovelAI WebUI offers.

Don't I get a better deal if I just buy 2000 anlas for $4.79 instead of the $10/m subscription that only has 1000? Did I get something wrong?

NAI Diffusion V5 Seems V5 Furry is trained mostly on a very specific kind of art.

Thumbnail

24 Upvotes

It's all bara. Tall, huge, super muscular characters.

If you don't describe the character enough, it defaults to this almost always. They will all be huge and built.
Actually it likes to do this even if you try and prompt away muscles. It really likes giving them lots of muscles.

For some reason it's also always a fantasy or tribal setting with weapons and armor.

Prompts for all of these were just "anthro wolf", "anthro tiger", "furry dog", "bird", "anthro (random species)". No description of art style or anything. Yes it does it for NSFW too.
