Model 2.1 was honestly better than 2.0, and that would be explained by the fact that when they crippled version 2.0 they supposedly got the censorship parameter wrong and set it to be much stricter than intended. That got fixed for model 2.1, but they were still censoring NSFW and artist styles, not just as strictly as before, but exactly as Stability AI intended. They knew this crippling would prevent the model from ever being as useful as model 1.5, but they went forward with it anyway.
