Switched trining objective, base model is <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civitai.com/models/1671685?modelVersionId=2586876">Evo 2EP</a>.Make sure negative prompt in A1111 / ReForge must have some arbitary value (recommended a single ",") to avoid the undesired "zero uncond" issue. ComfyUI has no such issue. It is the inversion of <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civitai.com/models/1898715?modelVersionId=2705799">Evo 2.5EP</a>.Since the furry femboy is here, I guess I no longer need merging afterward.
