Flux LoRa conjuring the visage of poet Anna Akhmatova (1889-1966), whose voice has emblematized one self’s capacity to universalize, harnessing, the pain of all, refracting it back dignified unto transcendence

Anna Akhmatova Flux Low-Rank Adapter (LoRA) Version 2 by SilverAgePoets.com

Trained via Ostris’ ai-toolkit on 60 vintage photos (most of them colorized by us and/or by Klimbim).

And capturing the legendary poet:
Anna Andreevna Akhmatova
(b.06/26/1889-d.03/05/1966)

For this LoRA we used highly detailed manually-composed paragraph captions.

It was trained for 1200 steps at a Transformer Learning Rate of .0002, batch 1, AdamW8bit! Minimal synthetic data (just a few reluctant upscales), zero auto-generated captions!

VERSION 2 NOTE:

For this second version of an Akhmatova LoRA, we somewhat refined our dataset and used a tried-and-tested likeness-learning fine-tuning workflow over base FluxDev.
In parallel, we’ve also trained yet another Akhmatova LoRA over a homebrew De-Distilled merge version of Flux. That version is available in a different repo here.

This is a rank-24 historical LoRA for Flux (whether of a Dev, a Schnell, or a Soon® sort…)
Use it to diffusely diversify the presence of Akhmatova’s deathless visage in our strange latter-day world! And once you’re faced with this poet’s iconic penetrating stare, do lend your ears to her as well: listen in to her voice! Wherefrom might this voice resound for you? A dusty paperback? Google search? Maybe a clip on YouTube? Or, say, your very memory reciting verses suddenly recalled?
In any case, we’ll offer you some echoes to rely on, if you will: Namely, our translations of Akhmatova’s verse-works, adapted from a proto-Soviet song-tongue into a Worldish one…
