SOTA shifts, yes. But the average person doing the work has been very happy with SDXL based models. And that was released two years ago.

The fight right now outside of API SOTA is who will replace SDXL to be the “community preference”

It’s now a three way between Flux2 Klein, Z-Image, and now Qwen2.

There is a decent chance there will be no clear consensus... Maybe people going custom LoRas etc should publish for the 3x most common models. Or maybe the tooling will make it so that switching models in a workflow will be painfree, as has kind of happened with LLMs.

Could be. Which isn’t too bad a scenario if lora makers release for multiple models for the popular platforms at once.

This year I will have direct need for diffusion models for work, so I’m keeping an eye on this for sure.
