Simon Butcher, the one who created this using bleeding-edge diffusion models, mentions:
Since Minotaurs are imaginary creatures, interpretations tend to vary widely. I wanted to produce an image of a powerful creature in a graphic novel style, although not gruesome like many depictions.
The latest open source Stable Diffusion XL base model was trained at a higher resolution and the difference in quality has been noticeable, particularly at better overall consistency and detail, while reducing anatomical irregularities in images. The image was produced locally using Linux and an NVIDIA A100 80GB GPU, starting from an initial text prompt and refined using img2img, inpainting and upscaling features.
Linux Kernel 6.5
Of course, with Linux Kernel 6.5, you can expect better hardware compatibility with new gen components and other improvements.
