Local generation is in such an interesting place right now.

Text: mistral-small-abliterated has generally been my favorite model in terms of speed and in terms of how good it is. 


Image: Z-Image-Turbo is pretty good. It obviously has some limitations. Yesterday I asked it to generate an image of a woman on stage, with screens that said "PlayStation Experience", some of the generated images even included the PlayStation logo. 

The model is uncensored, but it seems like it's not trained on certain things.

It makes me a little sad, because it's really cool, but I'm not super interested in it. 

Video: LTX-2 is pretty incredible. My biggest disappointment is that it's censored. It can create some very incredible videos. 

One downside is if you don't tell it what to say, and it tries to make a video with conversation, it will make gibberish.


Z-image is very good at text, LTX-2 is not. So that's kind of a fun difference.

So I finally watched Superman yesterday. I liked it quite a bit. David Corenswet was a pretty good Superman

Quote from: BananaKing on Jan 19, 2026, 06:50 PMYeah if they don't consider this a success then the studio heads are out of their minds. But of course you need to consider how much merch avatar sells. I don't feel like it's a merch machine as starwars or marvel. Probably no where even close too.

Also streaming now has iced things up. This will probably end up on Disney+ soon, and subs aren't directly linked to avatar.
Yeah I don't think they sell much merch. I'm expecting blu ray and digital in mid March or so. Probably not Disney+ till summer I'd bet. They definitely do well with avatar world at Disney world. 

The digital prime video version will likely sell really well

reads the news.   jfc Donald.  you really are a moron and a piece of shame.   he really must be a Russian asset because killing our alliances with Europe is the dumb AF.  america has strength but with no alliances anywhere and with most of the world hating us we could be taken off the map easily.

I'm not sure if I've watched Sleeping Beauty before. I feel like I started watching it before, but never really watched the whole thing.  

The movie isn't what I expected.  

Spoiler for Hidden:
Sleeping Beauty is barely in the movie for one.&nbsp;<br><br>Her being asleep also barely happens. It&#39;s something that happens towards the end of the movie, it&#39;s not the starting place.&nbsp;<br><br><br>

I generated a bunch of different videos.

To a big extent I was fighting with ComfyUI though. It would frequently not generate a new video. The template workflow also wouldn't update the randomizer seed, so you'd get mostly the same output anyways. 

I generated some videos where people were talking back and forth, yelling back and forth, whispering and having different emotions.
It was extremely cool.

The audio was expressive, but obviously robotic at times. But it matches reasonably with the actor's movements.


The model isn't censored from what I understand, but it's also not very good at uncensored stuff.....
