Twenty generators, eight prompts with invented specifics, one shot each, the prompt on every board. New this round: five Krea 2 builds, Qwen Image 2512, a real cloud column priced in Buzz, and a text ladder scored over four extra seeds. Every board at full size, every prompt in all three styles.
We trained a character LoRA on Krea 2 and benched it against our production image stack. What ports, what breaks, the prompting rules that differ from Z-Image, and the LoRA lessons from 230 test renders.
Twelve generators, six prompts, one shot each, no cherry-picking, with the numbers nobody publishes: seconds per image, VRAM required, and the exact cloud price. Six of them run free on your own card.
The complete recipe behind our presenter’s locked identity. Dataset rules, local AI Toolkit vs cloud Civitai training, the strength dials that matter, and the four rules we paid to learn.
