AkashicPulse EQVAE is a model based on AkashicPulse series, but fine-tuned to utilize Anzhc's EQVAE as its VAE. (In theory,) This improve the model generation color and accuracy.
Recommended settings [UPDATED FOR V1.0.x]:
Same like v0.2, the model is in between needing RescaleCFG and not needing it. Expect to turn on and off this a lot.
The usage of artist tags IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. Put it at the FRONT of your prompt (and use BREAK if your generation platform support it).
Steps: 32-50
CFG: 7-10 with RescaleCFG on or off, or 4.5-6 if you don't wanna touch RescaleCFG
RescaleCFG: 0.7 OR OFF, inspect generated image quality if something is off.
Sampler: Euler a (or try AkashicSolver available on Adept Sampler with AkashicAOS).
Noise Scale: 0.9, using 1.0 will cause the model to over-generate noise.
Recommended negative prompt:
worst quality, low quality, bad anatomy, bad hands, text, signature, watermark, username, artist name, [things you want to remove]WARNING: Using excessive negative prompt might resulting the model to lose its quality.

Why EQVAE? There are better ones. Also https://redd.it/1ofvh27
- EQVAE is the simplest option right now without having to modify the SDXL architecture.
- This is a cheap fine-tune (I spend $20-ish total) and you can already see some improvements.
- I know Anzhc is preparing some kind of FLUX.2 VAE compatibility layer for SDXL, but I bet it'll be expensive to train.
In other words, let my broke ass experiment with the things I interested in man, I released my models for free too despite my $200 monthly salary ๐
