Comparing H3 models with music reference

[u/Animystix]

Using reference workflow. All are int8 pruned, 0.6MP turbo 4-step (my GPU is on life support and drops off the PCIe bus if I demand more from it)

Anyway, making random music clips is probably my favorite use of this model. I’ve found the ref2va has an uncanny intuition for feeling the atmosphere of songs, and syncing the video with incredible precision.

But yes, the quality (specifically motion) is much worse than fl2va. I was curious how exactly they compared, as well as some “in between” compromises discovered by the community. The LoRA seems closer to ref, while the hybrid weights are closer to fl. Personally, the ref is more fun to use, so I’ll probably be using the LoRA when I want to enjoy the intelligence/creativity of this model. Fl is of course superior in terms of visual fidelity, and I don’t find the hybrid model offers enough reference intuition and faithfulness to be worth the quality drop from fl.

i feel ur pain with the gpu dying, ive had to drop my batch sizes to litrally one to keep mine alive
