Still working on true NSFW generation. Finally starting to tinker with Wan 2.1 which everyone has been talking about. My initial results aren't stellar, but, more promising than what I've seen in other cases. Still tweaking things. It seems AI stuff moves so fast these days and I need lots of help navigating it. An LLM is helpful here, particularly Grok I find, this convo really helped answer a lot of my questions.

I'm still surprised I was getting results with wan2.1_i2v_480p_14B_fp8_e4m3fn.safetensors, though it was in some cases taking over an hour to generate a 5 second 480p video. In 8 generations I only ran out of VRAM once. Shouldn't have worked given my measly RTX 4060 with 8GB. Grok told me to switch over to the 1.3 BF16 one. That should at least allow to generate videos at a somewhat reasonable speed. We'll see, I'm letting this one I had queued up with the 14B finish first, but it may run for the next half hour.

In the background, I've been doing some parallel processing in LightTricks (LTXV) in CivitAI. I should be able to do this locally, but need to work on my workflow. And I seem to get better results with CivitAI for whatever reason and I have some buzz to burn.

I'm adding notes to the notebook as I go which I'll share along with my workflows and prompts with Teachers Balls subscribers eventually once I have a chance to sort through everything and get something released. For now, here are some interesting experiments to share :)

Sometimes I get too wrapped up in this stuff and need to take breaks to touch grass or spend time with my family and friends or just play video games or read a book! I risk burn out working all day then spending whole evenings making AI porn. So, I'm going to sign off before that happens since I've already been at it for nearly 5 hours.

Good night, and thanks for the support!
