Your Opinion on Zimage - loss of interest or bar to high?
Just curious what your opinion is on the state of Zimage turbo or Base. A year ago when a new Ai model dropped people would flock to it and the content on places like Civit or Tensor blasts off. Looking back on models like Flux, Pony, SDXL, things escalated quickly in terms of new Checkpoints and Loras, it seemed every day you went online you could find new releases.
When I see polls here, or in other discussions, Zimage usually ranks Number one in ratings for peoples favorite Image generator, and yet there seems to be very little coming out so I was curious, from your perspective why that may be? people moving on to video? losing interest in image gens? or is the requirement for training to high and cut out a lot more people then say SDXL or Flux did?
Keep in mind this is just a question, I don't have knowledge of training checkpoints, only Loras so I'm not as skilled as many of you and just curious how people far smarter than I feel about the slow down.
