Model Training Process
From photos to personalized AI in 6 steps
Understand every step of the AI training process. From initial photo upload to the final trained model, learn what happens behind the scenes and how to optimize for the best results.
Complete Training Workflow
Upload Training Photos
Select and upload 15-20 high-quality photos following our guidelines
Process Details
- Choose photos that meet quality requirements
- Upload in batches or individually
- Review uploaded photos for quality
- Remove any unsuitable images
Double-check each photo for clarity and proper lighting before uploading
Configure Training Settings
Set model name and adjust training parameters if needed
Process Details
- Enter descriptive model name
- Review default training parameters
- Adjust steps/learning rate if experienced
- Confirm photo selection is complete
Default settings work well for most users - only adjust if you understand the parameters
Image Classification
AI analyzes and categorizes your photos for optimal training
Process Details
- Automatic face detection and cropping
- Quality assessment of each image
- Duplicate detection and removal
- Optimal image selection for training
This automated process ensures only the best photos are used for training
Model Training
AI learns your unique features through deep learning process
Process Details
- Neural network learns facial features
- Multiple training iterations (steps)
- Progressive improvement validation
- Model checkpointing and saving
Training time varies based on photo quality and complexity - be patient for best results
Quality Assessment
System validates model quality and generates test samples
Process Details
- Model accuracy validation
- Test generation with sample prompts
- Quality score calculation
- Final model optimization
High-quality training photos result in better model validation scores
Model Ready
Your custom AI model is ready for generating images and videos
Process Details
- Model added to your account
- Trigger word generated for prompts
- Available in image and video generators
- Email notification sent
Start with simple prompts to test your model, then experiment with complex scenes
Training Parameters Explained
Training Steps
Description
Number of training iterations the AI performs
Impact
More steps = better quality but longer training time
Recommendation
Use default unless you need faster results
Learning Rate
AdvancedDescription
How quickly the AI learns from your photos
Impact
Higher rate = faster learning but potential overfitting
Recommendation
Use default - only experts should adjust
Batch Size
AdvancedDescription
Number of images processed simultaneously
Impact
Larger batch = more stable training but requires more memory
Recommendation
Automatically optimized based on your photos
Resolution
Description
Training resolution for optimal FLUX model performance
Impact
Higher resolution = better detail but longer training
Recommendation
Default setting provides excellent results
What Happens During Training
Initial Learning
AI begins learning basic facial structure and features
Duration
Steps 1-300
What's Happening
Model learns general face shape, basic features, and positioning
Feature Refinement
AI refines understanding of specific facial characteristics
Duration
Steps 300-800
What's Happening
Model learns unique details like eye shape, nose, mouth, and expressions
Style Adaptation
AI learns to apply different styles while maintaining your likeness
Duration
Steps 800-1500
What's Happening
Model learns to adapt to different prompts and artistic styles
Final Optimization
AI optimizes model for best quality and consistency
Duration
Steps 1500-2000
What's Happening
Model fine-tuning for optimal performance and stability
Monitoring Your Training
Check Email Notifications
You'll receive updates on training progress and completion
Training Dashboard
Monitor progress through your account training section
Expected Timeline
Most training completes within 30-45 minutes
Avoid Interruption
Don't start new training while another is in progress
Training Optimization Strategies
Photo Quality First
Prioritize excellent photos over quantity
Choose 15-20 best photos rather than 30 average ones
Ensure each photo meets quality standards
Remove any questionable photos before training
Use variety in angles and expressions
Consistent Lighting
Use photos with similar, good lighting conditions
Group photos by similar lighting conditions
Avoid mixing harsh and soft lighting
Prefer natural daylight or professional lighting
Remove photos with extreme lighting differences
Expression Diversity
Include variety in expressions and poses
Mix neutral, smiling, and serious expressions
Include different head angles and positions
Vary eye contact - mostly looking at camera
Include natural, relaxed poses
Common Training Issues
Training Taking Too Long
Likely Cause
High-resolution photos or complex features
Solution
Wait patiently - quality training takes time
Prevention
Use recommended photo sizes and quantities
Training Failed
Likely Cause
Poor quality photos or insufficient variety
Solution
Review photo guidelines and re-upload better quality images
Prevention
Follow photo guidelines carefully before starting
Low Quality Results
Likely Cause
Inconsistent lighting or limited photo variety
Solution
Retrain with more diverse, high-quality photos
Prevention
Include multiple angles, expressions, and lighting conditions
Model Not Recognizable
Likely Cause
Mixed subjects in photos or poor face visibility
Solution
Use only clear, solo photos of the intended subject
Prevention
Ensure one consistent person across all training photos
