I tried out NoobAI-XL v-pred 1.0 yesterday, https://huggingface.co/Laxhar/noobai-XL-Vpred-1.0:
>>34477t
Wildcarded through a fair few combinations of artist styles when generating this image. Judging from that, it seems to have a better understanding of style and texture than the eps-pred version. It also seems to be slightly worse at fine detail, but that may just be a product of its better understanding of style. It needs further testing with artist tags that do highly detailed works to see if that is a limitation of the model.
