What is Textual Inversion?
A lightweight technique that teaches AI models new concepts by finding a text embedding that represents a specific visual concept.
How it works
Textual inversion learns a new text token that represents a visual concept. Unlike LoRA or DreamBooth, it only modifies the text embedding space, not the model weights. This makes it extremely lightweight (the result is a tiny file) but also less powerful for complex subjects. Textual inversion works best for learning styles and simple concepts rather than specific subjects with detailed features. It can be combined with LoRA or DreamBooth for comprehensive customization.
