Few bugs for FLUX training fixed

SDXL DreamBooth / Fine Tuning training configs fully updated after new tests

It is 100% recommended to use regularization / classification images with SDXL training, do 1 repeat and use Save Every N Steps method

Watch this tutorial : https://youtu.be/EEV8RPohsbw

13 January 2026 V40

I have fixed FLUX LoRA training with text encoder

ComfyUI will still show some key errors but they are inaccurately displayed and fully working i tested and checked

Some SDXL configs added and more will be added and shared later hopefully with more info

RunPod template link updated and now we fully support SimplePod which is much faster and cheaper than RunPod

SIMPLEPOD CHEAPER AND FASTER THAN RUNPOD

Now we fully support SimplePod as well please use this link to register : https://simplepod.ai/ref?user=secourses

SimplePod is faster and cheaper than RunPod and works exactly same

E.g. RTX 5090 on RunPod is 0.89 USD per hour, on SimplePod it is 0.45$ per hour,

RTX PRO 6000 on RunPod is 1.84 USD per hour and on SimplePod it is 0.79 USD per hour

Please use this template on SimplePod : https://dash.simplepod.ai/account/explore/100/ref-secourses/

For permanent storage, generate it from Storage tab with any name and size you want and when selecting template with above link, click Edit and Use, select Persistence Volume and change mount point to /workspace

Up-to-date SimplePod tutorial starting from 21:51 : https://youtu.be/yOj9PYq3XYM?si=Z86wZZLBeYzWo1Qo&t=1311

As usual follow Massed_Compute_Kohya_FLUX_Instructions.txt and RunPod_SimplePod_Kohya_Instructions.txt to install and use and watch the tutorials

29 November 2025 Update v38

Fused Backward Pass enabled back in big VRAM configs since disabling it breaking the training

Installers upgraded to uv therefore it is like 100 times faster on RunPod and 10x faster on Windows and Massed compute to install

25 November 2025 Update v35

New tutorial for v35+ published : https://youtu.be/RQHmyJVOHXo

I have forked the famous Kohya SS scripts and now I am developing it

All of the configs are updated based on new Torch Compile feature and now multiple GPU Fine Tuning / DreamBooth works on 80 GB GPUs perfect

Now we have faster 80 GB GPUs configs as well with Torch Compile

We have added so many new amazing features to both our SECourses Premium Kohya SS GUI and SECourses Premium Kohya SD Scripts

Now our app and GUI supports Torch-Compile

So far tested on FLUX DreamBooth / Fine Tuning and LoRA Training

Brings performance between 5-20% speed gain depending on configuration with 0 trade-off

No quality loss or no extra VRAM usage

Works with Block Swapping as well

I have added this new feature solely and took approach from famous Kohya Musubi Tuner repo

I have added CPU based text encoder caching for lower than 10 GB GPUs - this was not existing in SD Scripts and our new configs are now based on this

Moreover, now the GUI has Open All Sections and Close All Sections to quickly open and close all sections, then you can do Ctrl+F to quickly search and find what you want

New FP8_Scaled feature added to LoRA training just as in Kohya Musubi Tuner

This reduces VRAM usage significantly like from 29.3 GB to 21.6 GB with almost no quality loss, base model is dynamically converted into FP8_Scaled while loading

I have added new memory-efficient loading so now it should use lesser RAM compared to before, very good improvement for low RAM machines

Also I have fixed a bug in Kohya scripts:

Now you will see actual training speed right after very first step if your all images are same resolution

If you have different aspect ratio and different resolutions in dataset, you will see actual speed after first epoch not like after 100s of steps

New feature convert trained base models (DreamBooth / Fine Tuning) into FP8_Scaled added

So you can convert your full models into extremely high quality FP8_Scaled versions and use them with almost half VRAM usage after training

It is located under Utilities > FLUX FP8 Converter

Make a fresh install into a new folder, Massed Compute and RunPod fresh installs will install latest version

New Configs With V35

The difference of For_RunPod folder is that it enables more RAM using faster model loading plus paths are set for /workspace automatically

29 October 2025 Update v32

I have added a new amazing tool called as Image Preprocessing

This tool is extremely important and useful when you do training with bucketing enabled

I recommend to use this tool, preprocess your training images and checkout how your images actually used during training

Just run Windows_Install_or_Update_Kohya.bat to update

2 October 2025 Update

Sadly Bmaltais stopped developing Kohya GUI therefore I forked his repo and now we are going to use myself developed

One advantage of this that now we are going to use always latest version of SD Scripts of Kohya

I have extremely optimized and significantly improved the installation and therefore now it will be way faster and more accurately installed on Windows, RunPod and Massed Compute

I have updated libraries to Torch 2.8, CUDA 12.9, Accelerate 0.48, xFormers 0.33, Flash Attention 2.8.3, Sage Attention 2.2 and Triton 3.4 on all platforms

Now it supports all of the GPUs starting from RTX 1000 series to 5000 series + cloud GPUs like RTX A6000, A100, H200, B200 etc

Moreover I made the app to auto recognize FLUX Krea Dev and FLUX SRPO models as FLUX.1 - remember you have to enable that checkbox

All you need to do is after loading the config, select downloaded FLUX SRPO as a base model not FLUX Dev model in model path

I have trained the new FLUX SRPO model with our existing DreamBooth configs and compared it to FLUX Krea and FLUX Dev base model

I can confidently say that the FLUX SRPO model is perfectly trainable with our config and it is a little bit more realistic than FLUX Dev

So for realism from now on I recommend FLUX SRPO

Here below base 1024x1024 no face restoration or upscale made results below

Remember our upscale preset in SwarmUI 100%+ improves quality like in my this sharing : https://www.patreon.com/posts/133166462 (this was on FLUX dev not on SRPO)

FLUX Dev vs FLUX Krea vs FLUX SRPO full comparison : FLUX_Dev_vs_Krea_vs_SRPO_DreamBooth.jpg

FLUX Dev vs FLUX SRPO : FLUX_Dev_vs_SRPO_DreamBooth.jpg

FLUX SRPO is an extremely realistic base model compared to FLUX Dev - it is a special fine tune : https://github.com/Tencent-Hunyuan/SRPO

I recommend to get latest zip file and make a fresh install into a new folder if you want to upgrade to the latest version since a lot of installation process changed

The model downloader script upgraded to our special ultra FAST and robust model downloader - like uGet with 16 connections + SHA 256 verification

The Windows_Download_Training_Model_Files.bat will ask you which model you want to download

On RunPod and Massed Compute read the instruction txt files and you will see commands to download any of the models directly

Windows Requirements

Python 3.10.11, FFmpeg, CUDA 12.9, cuDNN 9.12, C++ Tools, MSVC and Git

Only Python and Git should be sufficient since I precompile libraries but still to be sure i recommend install all

13 August 2025 Update

I have trained FLUX Krea Dev model with our FLUX Dev DreamBooth configs and compared the results - inside DreamBooth_Tab_Fine_Tuning_Best_FLUX_Configs folder

Our model downloader in zip file now auto downloads FLUX Krea Dev too

So after loading your config just change base model to FLUX Krea Dev

17:02 Complete Workflow for Generating High-Quality Images with FLUX Krea Dev

18:20 The Final Verdict: Side-by-Side Result of FLUX Krea Dev vs FLUX Dev

I feel like FLUX Krea Dev needs a little bit higher learning rate or longer training

I recommend longer training

You can see full size grid comparisons below - trained on 28_imgs_dataset.png

100 Epoch Grid

125 Epoch Grid

150 Epoch Grid

175 Epoch Grid

I also recommend as usual doing 2x latent upscale

Our SwarmUI FLUX Dev Official 2x Latent Upscale preset working right away

Tutorial for 2x latent upscale here : https://youtu.be/Xbn93GRQKsQ

1:07 Achieving Hyper-Realism with the FLUX 2x Latent Upscale Preset

Our default learning rate right now is 4e-06 (still up-to-date) but I trained FLUX Krea Dev with 2e-06, 4e-06, 6e-06 to compare so you will see how it behaved in all cases

I may also research Chroma model and publish presets for it, currently my focus is Qwen Image which I believe will be better than FLUX Dev in every aspect

Hopefully full tutorial and very easy to use workflows and presets coming soon for Qwen Image model training i am working on Gradio App and presets

13 July 2025 Update

Gradio broken thus added temporary fix : Temp_Fix_Gradio_Error.bat

RunPod and Massed Compute fix auto applied

29 May 2025 Update

32 GB RAM configs added - not VRAM system RAM

They are inside LoRA_Tab_LoRA_Training_Best_FLUX_Configs inside 32 GB RAM Configs - Not VRAM - RAM folder

The difference is that you have to use flux1-dev-fp8.safetensors and now the config has enabled fp8 base unet

Windows_Download_Training_Model_Files.bat updated to prevent possible errors during download of models

13 May 2025 Update

Now on RunPod and Massed Compute our installer supports RTX 5000 series as well as older GPUs like RTX 3090, RTX 4090 etc

Upgraded to Torch 2.7 and CUDA 12.8

I tested on RunPod and it is 3 second / it with RTX 5090 and 48GB_GPU_28200MB_6.3_second_it_Tier_1.json - 0.907 USD per hour with 100 GB

4 May 2025 Update

First run installer and then run Windows_RTX5000_Series_Upgrade_Run_After_Install_Finished.bat

Now it uses official Torch 2.7, CUDA 12.8, and myself compiled xFormers

This is required for all GPUs

Training models uploaded to myself hosted XET enabled repo for even faster and more stable downloads : https://huggingface.co/MonsterMMORPG/Kohya_Train/tree/main

All configs are up-to-date with best settings

Amazing 22 special prompts added for woman trainings testing into Test_Prompts folder

20 November 2024 Update

Important bug with Torch 2.5.1 discovered therefore a new .bat file added

Use Windows_Downgrade_To_Torch_2.5.0.bat to downgrade Torch 2.5.0 - this will speed up training hugely - Windows only BUG

Currently you only need to run Windows_Install_Step_1.bat file to install if you are doing a fresh installation and nothing else

17 November 2024 Update

Huge improvements arrived with newest block swapping feature of Kohya

Model downloaders are updated and made super fast compared to before on all platforms like Windows, RunPod and Massed Compute - up to 10 times faster

On Massed Compute downloading all training models only took 1 minute (over 30 GB)

All configs are updated and please look at the DreamBooth_Tab_Fine_Tuning_Best_FLUX_Configs folder

Pick the config depending on your GPU, the quality you target and the speed you need

Please watch above listed tutorials to fully learn how to use

Update your Kohya to latest via Windows_Install_Torch_2_5_Dev_Huge_Speed_Up.bat or it is better to reinstall Kohya make a fresh install

31 October 2024 Update

xFormers and Torch 2.5.1 fully officially published

Thus use Windows_Install_Torch_2_5_Dev_Huge_Speed_Up.bat file

Massed Compute and RunPod installers also updated for Torch 2.5.1 and xFormers 0.0.28.post3

All configs both Fine-Tuning / DreamBooth and LoRA updated to xFormers instead of SDPA

I find that xFormers slightly yields better results

Recommend RunPod template changed to below

RunPod Pytorch 2.2.0

runpod/pytorch:2.2.0-py3.10-cuda12.1.1-devel-ubuntu22.04

Best Found Epochs and Step Counts and Durations

In the zip file check out the Different_Config_Training_Logs_Durations folder to see full training logs for 15 vs 256 images vs Batch size 1 vs 7 and Fine Tuning / DreamBooth vs LoRA - total 8 different trainings

All trainings are done on a single RTX A6000 GPU on Massed Compute, thus 31 cents per hour with SECourses coupon code

But of course you can locally train all Fine Tunings or LoRAs. For example single RTX 4090 is almost same speed as RTX A6000 for Fine Tuning (normally 2x faster but it is like this due to VRAM optimization), for LoRA training it is like 2x Faster

The best checkpoints I have found are as below

Fine Tuning / DreamBooth: 15 Training Images & Batch Size is 1 : Best Epoch is 160 = 15 x 160 = 2400 steps : Duration is 4 hours 18 minutes = around 1.5 USD cost

Fine Tuning / DreamBooth: 15 Training Images & Batch Size is 7 : Best Epoch is 140 = 15 x 140 / 7 = 420 steps : Duration is 2 hours 35 minutes = around 1 USD cost

Fine Tuning / DreamBooth: 256 Training Images & Batch Size is 1 : Best Epoch is 70 = 256 x 70 = 17920 steps : Duration is 30 hours 57 minutes = around 10 USD cost

Fine Tuning / DreamBooth: 256 Training Images & Batch Size is 7 : Best Epoch is 40 = 256 x 40 / 7 = 1480 steps : Duration is 11 hours 56 minutes = around 4 USD cost

LoRA : 15 Training Images & Batch Size is 1 : Best Epoch is 160 = 15 x 160 = 2400 steps : Duration is 5 hours 57 minutes = around 2 USD cost

LoRA : 15 Training Images & Batch Size is 7* : Best Epoch is 140 = 15 x 140 / 7 = 420 steps : Duration is 4 hours 53 minutes = around 1.5 USD cost

LoRA : 256 Training Images & Batch Size is 1 : Best Epoch is 50 = 256 x 50 = 12800 steps : Duration is 31 hours 25 minutes = around 10 USD cost

LoRA : 256 Training Images & Batch Size is 7* : Best Epoch is 50 = 256 x 50 / 7 = 1850 steps : Duration is 29 hours 25 minutes = around 9 USD cost

*For Lora Batch size, instead of Batch Size, Gradient Accumulation steps size used since batch size was not fitting into 48 GB GPUs, exactly same quality results but not speed result - thus for LoRAs, instead rent multiple GPUs and get almost linear speed up

Conclusions

When the results grids are carefully analyzed, we see that Batch Size 7 slightly yields worse results than Batch Size 1 in both Fine Tuning and LoRA training for realism

However, when it comes to stylized images, Batch size 7 yields slightly better than Batch size 1 training

Because of these reasons even when realism desired, for speed, Batch size 7 can be used on RTX A6000 when doing Fine Tuning or you can use multiple GPUs to almost linear speed up LoRA training

Moreover, Fine Tuning quality is always better than LoRA and especially in Stylized outputs, it is many times better than LoRA

Furthermore, 256 images dataset always yields better results for more realism, details, lesser overfit and stylized images and of course for emotions and expressions

Even though 15 images dataset has 0 emotions, Fine Tuning is able to generate some emotions but LoRA fails to do

Finally, to obtain best LoRA results, you need minimum 48 GB GPU to train in 16-bit, yes 24 GB 8-bit training also good enough, but for Fine Tuning, you need minimum 6 GB GPU and quality of 6 GB GPU is equal to 48 GB GPU, only speed differs

So Fine Tuning is a way to go all the way

Only negative side of Fine Tuning is each checkpoint is 24 GB

However, you can extract LoRA : https://www.patreon.com/posts/112335162

If you want speed, of course you can always do LoRA training, but results will be inferior

16 September 2024 Update

Today I have got way better results and the configs

These configs will be loaded into Dreambooth tab of the kohya not the LoRA tab

If you load config for once into LoRA tab, discard it and get a new one from the attached zip file

The same is exactly same as using in the below tutorials

Windows main tutorial - https://youtu.be/nySGu12Y05k

Cloud tutorial - https://youtu.be/-uhL2nW7Ddw

The saved checkpoints size will be exactly 23.8 GB - no way to reduce at the moment

I have selected 4e-06 as best learning rate at the moment but you can go with 5e-06 and 3e-06 as well

Multi GPU training not investigated yet

All ranks are currently equal, only the speed differs

Why Fine Tuning Better Than LoRA

Fine-tuning fully trains the model not just certain layers

Also we are using 12.5 times lower learning rate, thus able to learn more details with lesser overfitting

Way better 256 images dataset itself and LoRA results here :

What Is Not Useful

Additive timestep and Block_Wise_Fused_Optimizer and Sigma are all yielding bad results. 

FLUX_Shift is worse

Apply T5 Attention mask seems like bringing very little improvement - so tiny

Uniform inferior than others
