20s on 20 - SDXL LCM

The 20s on 20 Project

This is a comparison of the images made by twenty different AI models, all using the same prompt... one featuring a 1920s model. That makes it '20s models on 20 models. See what I did there?

The model has the rather unimpressive name of SDXL LCM. That's because it's accelerated with a Latent Consistency Model, which is just a way to torture the alphabet to say that you are cutting some corners. But because it runs faster it costs less, which means spending fewer credits. Of course to do that you sacrifice the ability to use start images or customize some settings.

This step-saving measure means the AI makes more unwarranted leaps of logic putting the image together. See, for instance, how the "Art Deco barrette" that shows up on nearly every other image on other models transforms into a head wrap here. That's not a fluke, as it happens in other LCM images too.
