Introduction:
A checkpoint that was first uploaded 8 months ago, the Unstable Diffusers; A project started as a experiment to see people's reaction to something really flexible with styles while keeping quality high, the project that put me in the big leagues of creators in the first place, it has 11 versions (not counting those without the VAE), I think it's time to give it it's final version, V12 will be Unstable's last version.
Part I:
In this part I will be discussing the reason why Unstable should not receive any update after version 12:
This is one of the longest lasting project I have ever made, it truly is the best thing I have uploaded to this platform, I feel like I could spend time working on new stuff and stop focusing on this specific project to keep it updated with new content, 11 versions are a lot and the number of images that can be generated with those are infinite, having a final version to me sounds like a good idea if I want to focus on other stuff and probably the community would prefer to see new checkpoints being uploaded instead of future Unstable Diffusers versions.
Part II:
In this part I will be discussing the reasons to keep updating Unstable Diffusers after v12:
A lot of people including me have enjoyed the various versions and seeing new onea sound exiting, maybe even exploring new styles; Unstable is the home of weird and unique art, a place where to generate all kinds of images, from anime to cartoon and stopping now for some is a bad idea, "why stop at 12? There is a lot more to explore!" some of you may say and yes, I have to agree on that, there is a lot more to explore but at least for now v12 will be the final version at least for some time.
Eventually this project too like the Terror models will end, no more versions will be made and that is fine, that is how progress works, some projects must stop to make new ones.
The reason why I wrote this article is not because I got tired of the project, I am more enthusiast than ever just by looking at the download number of v11. The motive behind writing this is simply to engage with the community and gather opinions on what they envision for future versions.
Conclusions:
The fate of Unstable Diffusers version 12 lies in the hands of the community now. Your decisions will determine whether it becomes Unstable's final version or the last release for a while, kindly share this article to gather a wide range of opinions.
