FAQ
Q: What is the Free U method and how does it work?
A: The Free U method is a way to substantially improve the sample quality of fusion models like Stable Diffusion at no additional compute cost. It works by modifying the latent space that the model samples from to generate higher quality images.
Q: What are the benefits of using Free U?
A: The main benefits are better image quality with no extra compute cost or slower generation time. It improves the quality substantially compared to the base model.
Q: Does Free U work for all fusion models?
A: As of now it mainly works for Stable Diffusion models, but it shows promise to provide image quality improvements for other generative AI models as well.
Q: What settings should I use for Free U?
A: Good starter settings are 110, 120, 60, and 40 based on community testing. You may also experiment with settings like 115, 85, and 35 for further customization.
Q: How do I set up Free U in my workflow?
A: You need to add the Free U node in your workflow, connect it before the decoder, and configure the strength parameters. This blog post covers the full setup process step-by-step.
