V1 - 6/23 - Initial Release - GGUF'S ARE HERE!
===========================================================================
CRUX (chroma/flux) hybrid models are created by DR34MSC4PE with the best of both worlds:
In a blurb? It is a hybrid model between Chroma/Flux that puts back the removed components (modulation layers, etc) from FLUX.1-dev by selectively merging it with a special variant of C4PACITOR but, importantly, keeping Chroma's de-distilled (unchained) nature and output layers.
Can be used with Chroma or FLUX de-distilled workflows (CFG enabled)
Can even be used with flux.1-dev workflows, but you'll need to increase the FluxGuidance to > 4 for adherence most times. Sampler research into "what all works" is ongoing but has been surprising!
For the moment, it is recommended to use CHROMA or classic CFG enabled workflows (including negative prompts!) vs. FLUX unless you want to help research the boundaries with us!
Specific anime/illustration tuning to introduce some lost artistic concepts
NSFW tuned and capable of realism and artistic/anime images. Female anatomy is well represented as a result of CHROMA + C4PACITOR's advance knowledge on these subjects. It tends to lean toward the latter's style.
FLUX LoRA seem to work but testing is ongoing for efficacy.
We have not tested this in any inference tool except ComfyUI yet - YMMV! Keep us posted!

Just tested in forge, and it works. What have you discovered for sampler/scheduler so far?
Definitely not when treating it as FLUX checkpoint with the exception that I was able to to do a handful of decent images when using a flux guider of like 5-6 and the res2m and the Euler sampler. Beta scheduler.
but that said it was still wild looking - at this point it should be treated as a Chroma checkpoint if you’re looking for immediate usability and not to play around helping us see what works and doesn’t.
@c0ur4ge I've been using normal CFG of 6 and found either Beta or DDIM to be best. Still testing different samplers.
@TheCasualPersuer interesting. I’ll have to check it out in forge after I kick out the GGUFs in the coming day or so. Please keep me posted! Love to see how it performs in different scenarios.
