I want to announce that yesterday civitai finally gave NoobAI-XL model its own category - "NoobAI".
Many checkpoint models have also been converted to NoobAI. For example, my favorite model cyberfix.
I also changed the category of all my NoobAI XL LoRAs (Epsilon 0.75-1.1 and V-pred 1.0 versions) to "NoobAI" so you can use my loras again on NoobAI-XL-based models available on the site.
If you are a creator and mix/train your models/loras on Noobai-XL, I recommend not adding the "Illustrious" or "SDXL 1.0" categories. In practice this created big problems because NoobAI is not Illustrious after 0.75 epsilon-pred version - NoobAI became too deep finetune for Illustrious. Now you need to use "NoobAI" category.
For users - I don't recommend using filters by models in the search since not all creators have changed their models and loras to "NoobAI" category yet. If you are looking for a model or lora for Noobai, just type "noobai" in the search bar along with the character name, style or concept.
