SLS vs. SLM vs. SeedVR2 vs. FlashVSR Comparison

General Discussion
1

I compared four models:

  1. SLS speed 0.6 fps
  2. SLM speed 0.5 fps
  3. SeedVR2 speed 1.02 fps
  4. FlashVSR speed 1.12 fps

Look at the details in the videos. SLS 4.5x seems to be the best, but it has some issues: it misidentifies inanimate objects, and human faces are still rendered artificially by SLM and SLS. It looks like a robot is in the video. SLS is best for cleaning, but SeedVR2 is best for preserving detail. FlashVSR is new and still unstable. I rewrote its code yesterday and made it more stable. It runs as a CLI on ComfyUI. Here’s the link:

A new version of SeedVR2 is coming. It’s the most promising one, and I still use it for my general videos. Here’s the link:

SLS is promising, of course, if they improve the artificial faces and text correction. Also, considering human eyes, teeth, and general features, SeedVR2 is still the best, most natural-looking version. Perhaps Topaz could maintain this natural upscaling by creating a different model in the future.

Great comparison! But what does 3x and 4.5x SLS mean?

SLS already gives upscale figures according to its own will, I chose the original and it upscaled it 3x, then I chose 1080p and this time it upscaled it 4.5x times.
