[New Model] - CatGen v2 - generate 128px images of cats with this GAN

Hey, r/LocalLLaMA !

I am back with a new model - no transformer but a GAN!

It is called CatGen v2 and it generates 128x128px of cats.

You can find the full source code, samples and the final model here: https://huggingface.co/LH-Tech-AI/CatGen-v2

Look at this sample after epoch 165 (trained on a single Kaggle T4 GPU):
