OmniChar compared with the other ways to keep a character the same
Each page answers one question: what the alternative does well, what a .char does instead, and which one to reach for. The nine rows are the same on every page, so the four read side by side.

Soul ID needs 20+ photos and trains per model on Higgsfield. A .char works from 1 to 2 photos, is open source and runs locally or hosted.
