    ∞ 218 SDXL aka 'counterproductive illustration' omE

    HF page (clean)

    Merge of SDXL models I enjoyed with some extra flavors.

    This took around 2 days of manual scoring and guidance through a Bayesian process, usually 500 samples per merge, which I did about 7 times total to arrive here. Also merged a LoRA trained on 18000 images at .4 weight into the final result, aimed at fixing sdxl models' lack of knowledge about the 4 letter word.


    Usage

    So this is a bit different compared to usual models. You can still prompt as normal, but there is a fun quirk thanks to Anime Illust Diffusion.

    There is a wildcard text file in the repo that contains all the tags that call for their respective artstyles, try and play around with that.

    After putting it in your wildcards folder, you can call it with ```__artistsAI__```

    There is also a wildcard with artists that I personally liked in this model, ```__artists218__```, but this is a work in progress.

    Description

    First merge result I enjoyed. Onwards I'll be updating with various characters + styles + concepts on the go, and experimenting with further merges into this.
