Does anyone know when fffiloni will start running the Consistent Character again?
I know this post isn't supposed to be about the Consistent Character, but it's driving me to despair. First, there was a schedule error with Consistent Character on Saturday, where something related to SSE commands was disabled. And since Monday, fffiloni has paused Consistent Character instead of fixing it. That alone made me desperate, because I can't continue working on my project anymore.
And duplicating Space isn't an option for me either, because Consistent Character requires a GPU, and duplicating Space with a GPU unfortunately costs money. And since I can't afford anything online, duplication is not a solution for me either.
So I wanted to ask if any of you know why he paused it and what happened. I also posted about it in the Consistent Character community, but got no answer and no reaction. fffiloni is probably acting like nothing happened. Because fffiloni's Consistent Character is one of the best in terms of quality. There's really nothing better on the internet.
Hi @PrinzPesia ! If you want I can grant you a zerogpu so you can experiment with it in your own space. LMK!
@lunarflu Oh yes, that would be great. Because so far, I haven’t found a single good consistent character alternative with a custom text prompt on Hugging Face.
@lunarflu this demo won’t work on Zero (running cog server within a dockerfile build)
@PrinzPesia the consistent-character space is running, now with a list of 50+ presets to allow figuring its capabilities with variable outfits.
Please use the community tab of the corresponding space next time to avoid misleadings and redundants topics accros several spaces 🙏

But I don’t want a pre-made selection, I want to use my own custom text prompt. And I can’t duplicate the space either, due to cost reasons. I also don’t need pre-made elements, I need my own background, my own clothing, etc. For example, a scene where she lies down on a bed, that’s something I could never achieve with pre-made prompts. And honestly, it really hurts me that I can no longer fully realize my cool idea for my video project, and that I can’t properly use Consistent Character anymore due to these new restrictions (especially since they originally provided custom prompt support for everyone right from the beginning).
And now they just remove that, it feels like they suddenly slapped us all in the face. I honestly felt punished by that. I even spent hours trying, together with ChatGPT, to get it running on Google Colab using a free T4 GPU, but it didn’t work either. All of that came out of sheer desperation.
And yes, I would love to duplicate the space, but I simply don’t have online banking, and I can’t afford the high cost of a powerful GPU. Otherwise, this wouldn’t even be an issue for me.
So what was so wrong about offering custom prompts for everyone? Did it hurt someone? Did they ever think about that? Why didn’t they limit custom prompts from the start instead of giving us access and then taking it away without any explanation?
Because this can be hurtful to others too, people who have grown dependent on Consistent Character but can’t afford their own space due to financial reasons. I just wish they would think of those people as well.
Your AI models are, of course, fantastic overall. Your AI model for image outpainting is also good and quite useful. I would be happy to hear your thoughts, and I truly wish you would consider coming up with something for Consistent Character.
