Pixart-Σ just feels so much nicer to use

Prompt: A cyberpunk scifi painting of a floating city in the air above the sea

It uses a new, fancier, 18GB text encoder (t5) to follow the prompt much more closely. It isn't perfect, but its much better than SDXL in my opinion. It does seem to be a bit worse at photorealistic subjects and has a tendency to create 1-pixel vertical lines.

Some other images:

impressionist, a woman sits in the middle of a crowded cyberpunk street, people bustling around, orange and blue glowing signs, warm atmosphere
