Detailed Comparison of 4 Image Generation Modes in Anylight: Original, Upgraded, Upgraded 2.0 High-Energy Stable, and Upgraded 3.0

Currently, Anylight offers four image generation modes: [Original Image Generation Logic], [Upgraded Image Generation Logic], [Upgraded 2.0 - High-Energy Stable Version], and [Upgraded 3.0]. The differences are as follows:

1. [Original Image Generation Logic] (Sometimes removed as an option)

Advantages:

  1. Relatively stable generation, less prone to errors.

Disadvantages:

  1. To achieve good results, you need to carefully craft prompts. Refer to templates in the "Inspiration Gallery" on the website.
  2. Not good at bird's-eye views or large-scale night scenes; often generates night images with daytime effects.

2. [Upgraded Image Generation Logic]

Advantages:

  1. "Smarter" than the original mode; simple prompts often yield good lighting effects.
  2. Supports resolutions like 2K, 3K, 4K.

Disadvantages:

  1. Unstable generation, especially when too many users are online, leading to frequent failures.
  2. Prone to errors, typically resulting in night images that are completely inconsistent with the daytime scene.

3. [Upgraded 2.0 - High-Energy Stable Version]

Advantages:

  1. Has all the advantages of the original mode.
  2. More stable than the upgraded mode, with fewer failures or errors.

Disadvantages: Consumes more credits than the original mode.

4. [Upgraded 3.0]

Has the advantages of Upgraded 2.0, with stronger semantic understanding and an additional 1K resolution option. However, the image style leans towards high-contrast realistic night scenes.

Special Note: Errors may occur in [Upgraded Image Generation Logic], where the generated night image does not match the daytime scene. This issue cannot be completely eliminated. Since images consume computing resources, the system will not refund credits. Please understand; if you encounter this, try again at a different time or switch to another mode.

We hope you understand the pros and cons of the four modes and choose according to your needs.
