✨ Alma Experimentals XL

Welcome to a special collection of SDXL-based checkpoints! 🎨
These are models that didn’t quite make it into my main series releases, but they each have unique strengths that I wanted to save and share with you.

Some are intermediate merges that helped shape the final main series releases, others are side branches that went their own way, and a few are just stand-alone experiments. 🌿
The release order doesn’t mean later versions are “better” — so don’t skip the older ones! Each has its own distinct style and creative abilities.

💡 Pro Tip: You can pair this model with the DMD2 LoRA to significantly cut down on generation steps for faster results! For optimal use with DMD2, try using Normalized Attention Guidance to get the best out of your negative prompts at low CFG. It works best with these settings:

Steps: 8 • CFG: 1.2 • Sampler: LCM • Scheduler: AYS SDXL
