Note on processing speeds

The Starlight models are diffusion-based, which means they process significantly slower than core enhancement models regardless of hardware. Processing times can range from several minutes to multiple days depending on your video length, resolution, frame rate, and system hardware.

Neuroserver

• All diffusion models (Starlight Family) require Neuroserver: Starlight Mini, Sharp, Fast 2, HQ and Precise 2.5.

• Neuroserver installation happens through the installer with a checkbox. An in-app update is recommended.

• If for some reason the Neuroserver is not working as expected, reinstall the app to run the “Repair” mode.
