Variance · beauty feed

Controls — each one changes what the next prompt asks for

Pausestop dispatching; renders in flight finish

paused

TemperatureLLM sampling. 0.6 = disciplined, 1.2 = wild phrasing

Exploitshare of prompts that refine a jury-picked spectacle instead of starting fresh

Standing themean idea the stream keeps returning to (e.g. "Volga nocturne", "hands at work")

Theme sharehow often the standing theme is used

Medium holdframes per medium. 1 = new surface every frame; 6 = the wall reads as short movements

Axeswhich dimensions are injected; off = the model's default for that axis

medium era palette composition

Subject domainsrestrict the subject pool; none selected = everything

Avoidmotifs the stream must not produce

Anti-collapseorthogonal jump when recent frames look alike

enabled

GuidanceFLUX prompt adherence. 2.5 = looser, more surprising; 5 = literal

Stepssampling steps per frame (speed vs finish)

Frame sizewidth × height, multiples of 16

Exploremaster dial. Scales breadth, novelty floor and subject invention together. 0 = stay near what we've done, 1 = go as far as the lists and the LLM allow

Pool breadthchance each axis draws from the WIDE pool (mezzotint, daguerreotype, tang dynasty, cooling towers…) instead of the core one

Novelty floorminimum word-set distance from the last window prompts; a prompt below it is rerolled (up to 3×). Achieved: —

Invent subjectchance the LLM is told to invent a subject domain on no list at all

Memory windowhow many recent prompts count as "what we've done"

Aspect mixrelative weights; frame size follows the aspect

Guidance jitter± added to guidance per frame (looser and tighter renders of the same idea)

How much of the space we've visited

Presets

Wide openevery axis rotates every frame; 30% refines winners

Movementshold a medium for 8 frames so the wall reads as sequences

Converge on tastemostly refine jury-picked spectacles; let a look settle

Shake itmax phrasing variance, loose guidance, no refinement

Frontiermax exploration: wide pools, invented subjects, high novelty floor, every aspect

Settlestay near the recent centre; refine

Real worldunglamorous subjects, forbid the fantasy attractors

What the feeder is asking for now

Controls write /root/FLUX/.fluxd/feeder-control.json; the feeder re-reads it before every prompt, no restart. Changes are journaled on the fleet monitor.
