• Neuroserver Starlight Precise 2.5 Local Starlight Precise 2.5 made its debut in our Cloud app, Astra, with much excitement and positivity. In the meantime, we were also working hard to get this wonderful model for local desktop rendering! I’m happy to announce that the team has just done that! The best part, we’re making this model available for everyone that meets the requirements to run it! This makes Starlight Precise 2.5 the 5th variant to the desktop Starlight Model Family. Note, that previous iterations of this model exists on Astra. This model has been specialized for realistic human face and skin textures in addition to other areas of improvement such as material, texture, and text. About:
• This model works for Medium to High Quality content whether this is generative, live action or restoration videos.
• Improves generated content that may have soft, plastic, or slight artificial looks, however the AI generated content should have solid structure and composition for ideal improvements.
• There is a slight difference between the local version and the cloud version in order to fit on the desktop.
• Greatly reduces flickering with smaller textures.
• Recommended to use video inputs at or under 4K.
• Outputs up to 4K.
• Model access via the cloud for all subscription models.
• Cloud Export is supported on both Mac and Windows.
• Expect long render times for this diffusion model. Appears to have faster processing compared to Mini and HQ. Technical things to know:
• Nvidia Only
• Available for all licenses to run locally! Yes, you read this right!
• Requires an absolute minimum of 12GB VRAM though 16-24GB VRAM is recommended.
• Targeted for GPU compute compatibility of 8.9. This is also the recommendation.
• This model is included locally, using neuroserver. This model is less ideal for content with:
• Shots with heavy motion blur may be rendered as texture.
• Not intended for very low/poor condition quality media.
• Interlaced content needs to be de-interlaced first.
• Not ideal for content below 480p Additional Updates to Note! Neuroserver
• Neuroserver installation happens through the installer with a checkbox. An in-app update is recommended.
• All diffusion models (Starlight Family) now require Neuroserver: Starlight Mini, Sharp, Fast 2, and HQ.
• Quality for the Starlight Models is expected to be the same.
• If for some reason the Neuroserver is not working as expected, reinstall the app to run the “Repair” mode. Don’t Forget Is your system compatible? Click Here Documentation Click Here Encountered an Issue?
