Pixart-Σ just feels so much nicer to use ( lemmy.world )
Prompt: A cyberpunk scifi painting of a floating city in the air above the sea
It uses a new, fancier, 18GB text encoder (t5) to follow the prompt much more closely. It isn't perfect, but its much better than SDXL in my opinion. It does seem to be a bit worse at photorealistic subjects and has a tendency to create 1-pixel vertical lines.
