Aah, for this we're just trying to filter not generate. When it comes to conditioning, you'll still need a model that understands text since the primary control is text. In the original Stable Diffusion, CLIP doubled as part of this LAION Aesthetic Filter as well as the text control for the generative model. But in the last couple of years, the field has drifted away from CLIP towards LLM hidden states (e.g. Qwen, Mistral, etc.). It turns out that text-to-image and text-to-video models do not need the visual prior from CLIP; instead the hidden states of multimodal LLMs act as better…
