In the 2.x lifecycle, the model was the flagship for general upscaling. It was designed to take low-quality footage with noise and compression artifacts and upscale it while simultaneously removing the noise. Version 2.3.0 tweaked the Artemis High Quality (HQ) and Artemis Medium Quality (MQ) variants to reduce the "plastic" look that early versions sometimes produced. The result was a sharper image that retained more natural film grain, which is essential for a cinematic look.
Version 2.3.0 introduced significant under-the-hood optimization for hardware acceleration. It allowed users to leverage multiple graphics cards simultaneously or choose specific processing threads between the CPU and GPU, greatly reducing rendering times for complex models like Gaia. 3.
