I am a super noob: what is the current state of the (free) art? i'm running comfyui with/on stablediffusion and using different checkpoints (dreamshaper, sdxl, and some nsfw versions). is this the best it gets for local, free image generation? I read the models/checkpoints for my current version somehow all use stablediffusion 1.5. the lowest of the all. is that true?
I also read we were waiting for some chinese local models without restrictions. in that context, why is wan2 not mentioned? is it because it apparently only can do text to video?
EDIT: Okay apparently over civitai I can chose the base model. Why are most recommended models here based on sd1.5 when sd3.5 large also exists? latter has way higher "score" on the elo board.
