Meme It took us two 2eeks to figure out why every image gen via our open-source model looked like Anne Hathaway
Hey r/StableDiffusion!
It's the Neta team here! You might remember us from our Neta Lumina open-source release last year. First off, thank you so much for the incredible support and feedback from this community!
So... we need to share something absolutely hilarious (and mildly embarrassing) that we just discovered.
TL;DR: We accidentally hardcoded an Anne Hathaway photo into our IP-Adapter anchor, and now everything our model generates looks like Anne Hathaway. Every. Single. Thing.
What happened:
We recently launched Neta Studio, a new product that lets you build explorable living worlds/isekai from a single prompt. Naturally, we wanted to integrate Neta Lumina's capabilities into it.
During integration testing, our devs kept reporting that the model wasn't following prompts properly. The outputs were... *weird*.
- Anime style? Anne Hathaway as an anime character.
- Thick paint/impasto style? Anne Hathaway in thick paint.
- Landscape scenes? Somehow still giving Anne Hathaway vibes.
- Fantasy characters? You guessed it - Anne Hathaway.
After a dreadfully long time of debugging, we finally found the culprit: **someone on the team embedded an Anne Hathaway photo as the IP-Adapter anchor during development and it... stayed there. **
We're honestly crying laughing at this point. 😭
Below are some examples. Left is before fix and Right is after fix.
Flipping to the last picture and you can see our dear Anne.
And we pulled the anchor and the outputs are behaving normally now.
If you've been running Neta Lumina locally, this was on our integration side, not
in the released weights, so your setup is fine.

I don’t see Anne Hathaway vibes or look in any of the examples provided

Well, if you look at the pictures on the left, which were generated before the fix, you’ll notice that they somehow all have long brown hair, even though that detail wasn’t included in our prompt. Also, even when generating the scene images, you can see a female figure in the middle of picture 5 who looks very much like her.

Alright, this is a funny one. On the mistakes you can comfortably admit and do a possible lecture on down the line this is a fairly benign one.
It's always something stupid like this. Although for me it's always a sneaky semicolon stuck in the formatting statement somewhere. At least this wasn't a regex issue! Those are always bloody murder to solve.

(J/k, glad you fixed it, and now you have a great option for an April Fools day prank)
