Training a LoRA locally in 30 minutes? Veteran says you're probably lying
the_bollo · reddit · 2026-10-20
Reddit user thebollo, who has trained hundreds of image/video/audio LoRAs over three years, doubts claims of local LoRA training in under 30 minutes: even 12 images for a 1:1 likeness needs 3k-6k steps. He suspects fast claimers either rent frontier hardware, settle for a vague 500-step likeness, or are lying — and asks for real methods that actually work.
