WAIVIER is a Checkpoint Merge of three of MY favorite Checkpoints!
Used Resources:
This is a somewhat basic merge, with a heavier focus on XAVIER as my base model, since I believe it handles visuals the best.
Please check the 'About this version' section for more information about what models were used in the merge, at what weights, and what might have changed between versions.
I originally made this just for myself, intending to keep it as a private merge, but as I uploaded more images and posts without having a Checkpoint to link them as resources used, I decided to just upload it so others can use it too.
Consider this merge release as experimental and not a straight upgrade -- More like a side-grade. It does what I need it to do, though.
Recommended Settings:
CFG: 5.0 - 7.0
Steps: 30 - 40
Sampler: DPM++ 2M SDE
Scheduler: Karras
Clip Skip: 2
VAE Baked-in
This is a learning experience for me, so please have patience with me. I welcome criticism, feedback, requests, and suggestions!

Description
v1.0 Release. (True Full Release)
Merged XAVIER v1.0, WAI-NSFW-IL-SDXL v14.0, Flax Milk at a (80/15/5) scale
VAE Baked-In
Clip Skip 2
Second iteration of my merge, with slightly heavier leaning toward XAVIER as a base, with a trade-off of less WAI 14 in exchange for a tiny bit of that wonderful Flax influence.
Once the Checkpoint Merge was made, I then merged in just a few of my favorite LoRAs in order to help create that visual style I love.
Used Resources:
Merged locally using SuperMerger extension for Stable Diffusion Forge. A handful of style LoRAs were included in the merging process in order to get the visual style as I like it. There's still much improvement to be made and I look forward to learning more about the process.
Checkpoint is fp16, pruned, and has VAE baked-in. I recommend Clip Skip 2 as that's what I use and that's what it was merged with.
My Recommended Settings:
CFG: 5.0 - 7.0
Steps: 30 - 40
Sampler: DPM++ 2M SDE
Scheduler: Karras
Clip Skip: 2
Please keep in mind these settings tend to work best for me. That does not mean they will work best for you. Experiment and have fun.
