it doesnt keep previous training logs

Ftherefore you have to reduce new epoch
Fso 200-170 if you are using 170 epoch base
Fno different atm
Fdreambooth difference is using regularazation images
PIt's safe to say that gor low epoch count Muti gpu has a little impact ?
Whi @Furkan Gözükara SECourses do you have plan to train Flux Schnell model ? I heard they have some great model. For example this model: https://civitai.com/models/943001/shuttle-3-diffusion
DHi Furkan, I've been experimenting with Flux dreambooth and LoRA training for several months now, using a high quality dataset of 3D renders en photographs of a specific car (which is not trained in the base model).
After extensive testing, I am actually getting better results with Flux LoRAs then dreambooth finetune.
The finetuned model does not follow the car's body well, the LoRA is replicating the car's shape a lot better.
For the LoRA, I found that AdamW with network dimension 128 and alpha 64 worked best for me.
For the dreambooth, I've used your configs and left them untouched.
I am surprised that this is the case as you would expect the oposite. Even the extracted LoRAs from the trained checkpoint performed worse than the LoRA.
I know this is very little information to go on, I can send you more grid tests if you want, but I am wondering if you have an idea where to look.
The only thing I can think of is that the LoRA uses AdamW and dreambooth uses Adafactor.
I could not use AdamW for dreambooth, not even on a 48GB GPU.
My goal and quality metrics are product (car) accuracy. So perhaps my configs should differ from your configs that are more leaned towards people?
PS. I've left all the common settings the same like image repeats, dataset/captions, noise offset, snr. And I have tested multiple epochs to find the best sample size

RI would be happy to test your LoRA configuration on a character/person if you're willing to share it. I have fine-tuned models and created LoRAs for a couple of months and my findings match Furkan's results, so it would be nice to see if there is a better configuration for LoRAs.
DI'm happy to share my json or toml file in a message (maybe dropping it here is against the community guidelines?).
Keep in mind that I am absolute not a ML expert, I am a 3D product visualization artist dabbling with AI. However I have a beefy pc (4090 + 3090 + 3080) so I've been able to do a lot of testing, running 2 trainings at the same time.
Most of my "knowledge" comes from using custom Claude & Perplexity project with documentation about LoRA, koyha etc.
In any case, I am also very surprised by these results, as I am sure Furkan has found the best configs

Feloborate more
Fi tried and it didnt work well
Fi dont see any reason to use it for individuals
Finteresting
Fi never had such case
Ffine tune always yields better and it is also expected
DCould it have something to do with the Adafactor versus AdamW optimizer?
P@Furkan Gözükara SECourses like the fist one is as single gpu and will take 150 hour the second one in dual gpu is expecte to take 250 hpurs
Fadamw is better than adafactor at quality slightly. but it uses more vram
Fwhen you do 2x gpu
Fyou need to reduce number of epochs 1/2
Fif 3 gpus
F1/3
Pok thanks, I think I understand it better now
Fyep because multi gpu increases batch size but keep same step count
Fso 1 step you actually do 2
DMaybe that was the difference then as I trained the LoRAs with AdamW but the dreambooth finetune with Adafactor (I could not fit AdamW in my gpu or a rented 48GB one)
Do you think this could be the difference?
I still believe finetuning should be better so I’m just confused about why LoRA yields better results for me.

Fhard to know possibly a mistake somewhere 
AHey there!
Anyone out here was deploying flux lora training as an API?
Would be happy to chat or be grateful if you can share something useful on how to deploy to runpod/other compute providers.
P.S. If you can share some useful presets for training person lora - beer on me haha!

HDoes training lora for Noobai v-pred require different settings?
I'm using kohya_ss gui (dev branch that is up to date with the latest script).
Someone somewhere said that it needs

Fwhat is Noobai v-pred
Wrecently when people train lora with kohya and they also train clip text encode together, they claim that lora train together with clip text encode give much better result. I wonder your latest lora training script json file have these clip text encode trained with lora or not ?
WIt a finetuning of Illustrious model, another heavy modified training from SDXL model.
HNoobAI-XL v-pred uses v-pred instead of eps like other SDXL models which makes it behave a bit different.
DI'll keep testing and let you know. In general the deambooth finetune does preserve small details betetr (logos, brake caliper, etc), but the LoRA follows the car's shape a lot better. I need to test it further with a contolnet and depth map (taken from the 3D model) to see if this car body issue can be resolved that way. And maybe as a final test I can send a 80GB+ GPU to do a AdamW dreambooth training run.
HAfter a test I can say that normal SDXL lora training settings +
--zero_terminal_snr
Tare you sure fine tune checkpoint is not just undertrained? How many images do you have in the trainign dataset and how many training steps did you do for lora and fine-tuning?
TThe thing is - lora training is just much faster in terms of steps/resemblance compared to full checkpoint, but checkpoint should yeild better generalization
Tthis chat is full of friendly people sharing their knowledge of training flux, for starters just follow basic tutorials of Dr. Furkan on the subject you are interested, they cover 99% of your questions
DGood point, thanks for your suggestion. The dataset has 45 images. LoRA produces good results at around 6000 steps. For dreambooth I am trying around 9 - 10K steps. Do you think I should train longer still?
Tyes, continue training if you don't see model sanity degradation, you can get better results compared to lora at 18-20k steps or more, if your use case require perfect resemblance at the cost of lower model sanity
Tbut if your use case do not benefit much from improved generalization this can be just too costly for similar results
DGreat thanks I will give that a try. Costs and speed are not a priority, obtaining the best product accuracy / quality is, so I will give this a go by training a lot longer and compare the epochs in a grid. Cheers
Fwe already train clip
Four all lora configs have it 
DWould it help to also train the text encoder (at 50% unet LR for example) and use T5 attention mask for dreambooth training just as we do with LoRA training? Has anyone seen any benefits?
WCompare with train checkpoint follow your config, if I extract lora from trained checkpoint, is the extracted lora quality better ?
GAnnybody finetuned a style using image data set of a particular city district? I will start It over a previous finetuned person using dreambooth
Fkohya not supporting
DWhat do you mean? Both parameters can be applied in the koyha UI (dreambooth tab) and the training runs without issues. Do you mean it will cause problems with the final trained models?
Fkohya doesnt train clip large or t5 when doing fine tuning
