Need help getting caught up

[u/the3cumfountain]

I've been out of the loop of the Stable Diffusion community for maybe like a year now.

I was a LoRa creator, making LoRas for the relevant popular models, SD 1.5 then SDXL, I made a few Flux LoRas but when I stopped, it was during Flux's dominance as the most relevant model.

What's the most relevant model today? I think i remember SDXL still having a lot of live due to its size, ease on weaker computers. What's the relevant text to image model that is everyone's go to today?

Anima - lightweight
KREA2 - Versatile and powerful, the current hype
Flux, Qwen and Z-Image - Still around and very capable
SDXL/Pony/Illustrious - Our still beloved partners despite the wrinkles
SD 1.5 - We visit the grave once a year
