- The developer of Comfy, who also helped train some versions of SD3, has resigned from SAI
Excerpt from the relevant “ComfyUI dev” Matrix room:
matt3o\ and what is it then?
comfyanonymous\ "safety training"
matt3o\ why does it trigger on certain keywords and it's like it's scrambling the image?
comfyanonymous\ the 2B wasn't the one I had been working on so I don't really know the specifics
matt3o\ I was even able to trick it by sending certain negatives
comfyanonymous\ I was working on a T5 only 4B model which would ironically had been safer without breaking everything\ because T5 doesn't know any image data so it was only able to generate images in the distribution of the filtered training data
comfyanonymous\ but they canned my 4B and I wasn't really following the 2B that closely
[…]
comfyanonymous\ yeah they did something with the weights\ the model arch of the 2B was never changed at all
BVH\ weights directly?\ oh boy, abliteration, the worst kind
comfyanonymous\ also they apparently messed up the pretraining on the 2B so it was never supposed to actually be released
[…]
comfyanonymous\ yeah the 2B apparently was a bit of a failed experiment by the researchers that left\ but there was a strong push by the top of the company to release to 2B instead of the 4B and 8B
Additional excerpt (after the Reddit post) from Stable Diffusion Discord “#sd3”:

- Mystical Solitude: The Enigmatic Twilight of a Mountain Landscape
Prompt created locally via wizardLM-7b
> Describe an eerie image of a mountain landscape
>An eerie image of a mountain landscape could be one where the sun is setting behind the mountains, casting long shadows across the valleys below. The sky may be painted with a palette of oranges, purples, and pinks as the light fades away into darkness. The peaks of the mountains are shrouded in mist, creating a sense of mystery and intrigue. The silence is broken only by the occasional howl of a wolf or the rustling of leaves in the wind. It's a scene that evokes a sense of solitude and isolation, making it feel like you're at the edge of the world.
