<h3 id="heading-2630">Changelog:</h3>April 8, 2024 - THEOS model released. Scroll down for model comparison images and info.<h3 id="heading-1173">About:</h3>𝑹𝑬𝑨𝑳 𝘔𝘐𝘕𝘛⋆ is an expanding collection of meticulously crafted experimental models, each consisting of careful block-level merging of a large number of existing checkpoints - some well known and some very obscure, - as well as several checkpoints trained on custom, purpose-built datasets - which aims to provide:<ul><li>Realism, particularly in human subjects.</li><li>An interesting uniqueness in its choices.</li><li>A subtle human imperfection not found in a lot of models.</li><li>Flexibility in adapting to most LoRAs.</li><li>High dynamic range for preservation of details.</li><li>Consistency in its particular abilities.</li></ul><h3 id="heading-1174">Recommended settings:</h3>Sampling: Most methods seem to work well, with DPM++ 3M SDE Exponential (35+ steps) being a personal favorite for ALPHA, and DDIM for THEOS. CFG: 3.5-7 (<a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://github.com/mcmonkeyprojects/sd-dynamic-thresholding">Dynamic Thresholding</a> highly recommended for higher values) Steps: Surprisingly good results have been observed with as few as 10 steps. VAE: Baked in.

If you like my models (or don't), please don't hesitate to comment or reach out for any reason! Your reviews and feedback means a lot and keeps me motivated! ❤️<h3 id="heading-2631">Model comparison:</h3>Each model has its own distinct strengths and weaknesses. You are encouraged to try both, to see which one you prefer. During development, I wrote these notes on the difference between ALPHA and THEOS: ALPHA model:<pre><code>More flexible
Less people focused
Bit better backgrounds
Bit more realistic
Bit more vibrant
Less CFG forgiving
Better human "imperfections"
More contrasty and gritty
Subjects less likely to pose</code></pre> THEOS model:<pre><code>Really likes to generate women
More photoshooty
More horny
Better fine details
Harder to prompt
"Cleaner" more polished look
Smoother skin
Less artistic/creative </code></pre> This flowchart might help you decide which model to try first:<img src="https://image.civitai.com/xG1nkqKTMzGDvpLrqFT7WA/c8f5d1af-f414-4b94-95a8-0be02c7c0b0d/width=525/c8f5d1af-f414-4b94-95a8-0be02c7c0b0d.jpeg" /><h3 id="heading-2632">Comparison to other models:</h3>Using the same seed, CFG, sampler, steps, embeds, LoRAs.
