Large scale finetune of Illustrious with state of the art techniques and performance.

Dataset of 4.5M pictures (0.8M with natural text captions) picked and balanced from 12M of anime art and other media, including private datasets. More detailed description on Civitai

Key advantages:

Better prompt following
Great aesthetic, anatomy, stability along with versatility
Vibrant colors and smooth gradients without trace of burning
Full brightness range even with epsilon
Knowledge of tens of thousands style and almost any character.

An addition, comparing with vanilla Illustrious and NoobAI:

No more annoying watermarks
No tags bleed and better prompt segmentation
No characters tags bleed and related side effects (unwanted outfits, style, composition changes)
Better coherence and anatomy
Artist styles look exactly as they should
Each style including base is stable without random fluctuations on different seeds
New knowledge

Features and prompting:

The model is designed to work both with short booru tag-based and long complex natural text prompts. The best result can be achieved using the combination of tags and some natural text phrases. For tags classic danbooru-style comma-separated tags without underscores were used.

Basic settings:

~1 megapixel for txt2img, any AR with resolution multiple of 64 (1024x1024, 1152x, 1216x832,...). Euler_a, CFG 4..8 for epsilon/3..5 for vpred, 20..28steps. LCM/PCM untested, cfg++ samplers work fine. Highresfix: x1.5 latent + denoise 0.6 or any gan + denoise 0.3..0.55.

Please note that vpred version requires a lower CFG value.

Examples can be found in image folder in repo.

Quality tags:

There are only 4: masterpiece, best quality for positive and low quality, worst quality for negative Nothing else. Meta tags like lowres have been removed, do not use them. Low resolution images have been either removed or upscaled and cleaned with DAT depending on their importance

Negative prompt:

worst quality, low quality, watermark

For best results keep it as clean as possible. Spamming of popular sequences will not improve results, since all related flaws have been solved, but will only lead to unwanted effects, biases and poor quality.

Artist styles:

The model knows over 22k of artist styles. List, grids with example on Mega. Used with "by ", will not work properly without it.

0.6.1 vpred also has following styles:

by nyalia, by flooxyfloox, by koni, by truck-kun, by 748cm, by galawave, by aruhshura, by kyomu, by youlichu, by alens, by chlenix, by cleandongye, by fltccktl, by merratatustle, by xi410, by youmuanon, by memento mori

General styles:

2.5d, anime screencap, bold line, sketch, cgi, digital painting, flat colors, smooth shading, minimalistic, ink style, oil style, pastel style

Natural text:

Use it in combination with booru tags, works great. Use only natural text after typing styles and quality tags. Use just booru tags and forget about it, it's all up to you. Dataset contains over 800k of pitures with hybrid natural-text captions made by Opus-Vision, GPT-4o and ToriiGate

Brightness/colors/contrast:

You can use extra meta tags to control it:

low brightness, high brightness, low gamma, high gamma, sharp colors, soft colors, hdr, sdr, limited range

Vpred version:

Vpred version has index 0.6.1 because it was retrained from base for fix observed flaws, now it works flawlessly. To use it you need a latest dev build of a1111 or comfy or reforge. Do not forget to lower your CFG down to 3..5, higer values will lead to over-saturation.
