Update: Kroma, A Krea-2 Fine Tune

[ I'm posting this on behalf of u/LodestoneRock since for some reason his post on this sub keep getting auto removed by Reddit. ]

Hey everyone, First of all, thank you to everyone for supporting this project, and to the Krea team who made the best uncompromised base model. Unlike the previous run, where I had to un-distill the model, the Krea team kindly provided us with their real base model. The training is much cheaper than the previous Chroma run. Though cheap is relative, it’s still costing me about ~10K RTX pro 6000 hours (3+ months on 4xGPU machine) running locally, this includes a bunch of failed experiments and bugs during training. Also thank you to ComfyOrg for the 2 RTX pro 6000 donations ♥️

The Base Krea is also not collapsed which allows me to do OPD (RL) directly ontop of it. As a result, you will get a good generation out of the box. Here are some results:

(Civitai link soon)

So what’s next?

There are several stale projects like my pixel space run chroma radiance and zeta chroma, but with the limited compute, I have decided to not continue them for now since compute is at a premium atm. Right now the focus is to create a better dataset (where about 90% of the quality comes from) while continuing to add more knowledge to kroma in the background. I do want to tackle video generation models like h3 in the near future once the dataset curation is done, but fine tuning the video model has astronomical compute cost so I'm looking for funding for more hardware to train a model. I firmly believe that hardware funding donations help a ton because we can indefinitely do more experiments in a sustainable way without having to worry about rental cost and psychological burden of “burned money” on failed experiments. I have a target of getting 4 more RTX pro 6000 but that’s like 60 grand in total which is an insane amount of money! So I don’t expect to reach this goal immediately, it's more about chipping in one card at a time at the pace of the accumulated donations. Every contribution helps, no matter the amount, this project simply isn’t possible without your support!

[FS][US-CA-socal] Lab clean out: HP Gen6/7/8 server stuff

Finally clearing out lab, I need space. This pile is mostly HP Gen6/7/8 stuff.

Local only since these are not worth shipping. East Orange County. Prices negotiable.

https://imgur.com/a/z1sjHE9

5x HP DL360 Gen6, $5 each, $20 for 5

Has CPUs (unknown). Have rails and PSUs.

No RAM. I have stacks of 4GB RAM for these somewhere.

No HDDs. I have trays, unknown qty, $1 each. I'll have few dozen 2.5" $0 HDDs after I have time to wipe the pile.

One of them is marked as a parts unit, but I have at least one additional unit not yet on pile I'll include with that one. I've been using that one as a table for the past decade.

3x HP DL320s storage servers, $20 each

These are essentially the same as this gen of 3Gb SAS disk self (MSA60) but with a built in server.

Has CPU/RAM, unknown what.

Have trays, $1 each.

These seemed like good FreeNAS/DIY SAN boxes back in the day, but the PCIe config essentially limits them to 1Gbe. Check the specs.

1x HP C6000 blade chassis, $20

I have too many of these, I need to get rid of at least one.

No PSUs, no fans.

Random assortment of HP BLc stuff from Gens 6-8, $5 per pair

Most of the blades are BL460c Gen6, might be a few 7's.

The 4 Gen8's probably have bad iLO NAND, there was a firmware bug that did this to any that were not updated long before I got them.

Blade servers may have CPUs. No ram, no HDDs.

Network IO modules of various models. 1Gbe pass-thrus, VC Flex10, 4Gb fibre channel, 612/XLG.

2x HP StorageWorks 32 port 4Gb fibre channel switches, $50 for the pair plus a pile of FC cabling and FC nics

Left overs from my prior SAN I pulled from service around 2 years ago.

Not pictured is a pile of orange fiber optic cables, transceivers, and a random number of 2 and 4 port 4Gb FC nics (the HP DL380's have several). Including all that for free if you want them.

Preconfigured to work like a dumb switch (all ports switch to all ports).

1 or 2 ports may be bad and/or have stuck transceivers. No real rails, just makeshift ones I jerryrigged.

Looking for solutions for public EV charging station

We have a public moderately large public EV fast charge station at one of our properties, 30-40 stalls, and we may have more locations in the future. Recently the littering and public unration is getting out of hand. So I've finally got approval to look in to upgrade our CCTV system and we could really use something that is able to make easier to detect and identify such offenders without having to literally scrub through every 24h video feed each day.

I've just started looking for sortitions. Not found anything yet that seems to do exactly those two things particularly, though abandoned object detection and zoned loitering with LPR might be all we actually need. Could really use some input on that.

Current old system we use only records based on basic/legacy motion detection, which was fine for our interior office building post-event-check-the-logs needs. The cameras on the EV station are essentially recording 24h/7 due to the near constant traffic it gets.

So right now all I have are motion events, and useless ones at that. I think we want something that can log events, not necessity push alerts, for when a vehicle has left objects behind or when a person is loitering in certain semi-private areas, ie pissing in the landscaping.

None of the existing cameras can get plate numbers; too far and/or not enough resolution. So the existing system is not particularly useful even if I scrub through and pull recording.

We need license plate numbers to get cars banned from the fast charger system. Some tracking vehicles would be nice since less than half of EVs here install their state required front license plate and many makes of EVs charge nose out, so getting a plate reads on docked vehicles may not be possible on stalls that back against obstructions, though isn't a deal breaker if scrubbing is required to get plate numbers.

The littering has been getting really bad. Some users will empty all of the trash in their car on to the ground. We have a dozen visible trash bins across the lot, many just don't use them. Currently we're collecting between 1-4 40gal trash bags of litter a day, 1-3 TV boxes a week, and around 1 apartment cleanout/old furniture dump a month.

I'm not out there or monitoring the lot often, I have eyes on it maybe up to 10-ish total minutes across the day. Despite how little I'm looking at it, I'm seeing dudes reliving themselves in the landscaping about twice a week now. I will be having talks about making the landscaping more hostile to this.

We want to start banning the more serious and repeat offenders and I'll need license plate numbers for that. There are not many fast charge stations in the area and we're a substantial portion of total number of stalls in the city and the two adjacent, so it will suck for them. I also want to put up signs with current count of bans, but I'm working on approval for that one, lol.

The plan is to do all new cameras for the lot with a new NVR system. There is questionable conduit existence across the lot (apparently some were laid during the last repave, but I'm not sure), but trenching is a possibility. I've been pushing for a parking lot solar system, if I manage that, I'll have plenty of mount positions for cameras. I think between the existing lamp posts and added a few poles, I can get the coverage we'll want. There are 3 points of entry, 2 of them are frequently use by another building (not ours) as part of an easement.

We'd prefer something that runs on-prem. I am capable of installing the system itself, I've been doing it for our properties for 20 years. I do not know what kind of budget the owner is willing to spend yet, but I'm thinking this is going to be over $15k easily.
