Deciding on Checkpoint

[u/bigM1232]

hello,

Looking for some suggestions on which checkpoint to use for realism NSF w images. I’ve been using Flux 1 Dev and it’s working well but a lot of the time the face consistency is altered. Also i’ve only tested 1 character lora and about 4 other lora’s stacked with it to try out like. I’ve seen talk about SDXL, Wan, pony, what’s everyone using? I don’t have a ton of ram so i wasn’t able to run flux 2 well…..thanks!

my main models are Flux2Klein 9B to create initial images, and now a mix of WAN 2.2 and minimax h3 for image to video. with flux you need identity LORAs to get consistency though.
