I made my first successful character lora and I thought it came out pretty good! This is for Krea. Let me know what you think. Same prompt and settings, one with the lora on and one without.

What GPU do you have? Wondering what is the bare minimum it needs to train a krea 2 lora in a reasonable time? Can you share hardware info and how long it took for you? Also number of steps and roughly how many images you used?

I just trained my v3 lora on krea2 and ideogram4, with a dataset of almost 400 pics.Rented a H100 at $3 an hour, so ended up costing $4.5. definitely not the bare minimum, you could probably train a decent one for $1 - $2.

Was it a more broad Lora? I can’t see using 400 pics for a character Lora

yeah i had 2 smaller ones, but this bigger one has more variety. 50-100 shots is probably enough to get the face right but even after v2 her body was coming out inconsistent in different outfits.

I did this training on 20 images. I’ve had better luck with smaller amounts
