The main focus of this checkpoint merge is to produce Images with focus on cuteness.
VAE is baked in.
Neo V1
This version is a new approach with a new merge from scratch (that's why I choose the name "Neo").
It has now a cute "soft touch" style with pastel like colors.
The recommended settings are still the same, but you can now use my Quality embeddings you can find here: https://civitai.com/models/1821398/quality-embeddings-for-anime-models
The preview samples were created with 1536px based resolutions and Kohya's Highres fix enabled.
NoobAI EPS V1.0
This version is a NoobAI only merge and based on NoobAI EPS.
Recommended settings:
Sampler/Scheduler: Euler A / SGM Uniform
CFG: 3-5
Steps: 25
Highres fix recommended
Same quality tags as version 3.0 apply, see below!
Merged models (using Supermerger extension):
waiSHUFFLENOOB_ePred20
cocoStyleNoobaiXLV70_v70
kittenTower_v10EpsPred
and some styling loras
Version 3.0
This version was made new from scratch, but now based on ILXL 1.0 instead of 2.0 as I was not quite satisfied with the previous merge.
It now follows the prompt better and also produces more vibrant colors. And it looks a bit cuter now.
New recommended settings:
Sampler / Scheduler: Euler A with SGM Uniform
CFG: 3-6
Steps: 25-30
Resolutions: official SDXL resolutions
Highres.fix and adetailer if necessary depending on use case
Quality tags:
Positive
masterpiece, best quality, newest, absurdres, highres,Negative
worst quality, old, early, low quality, lowres, signature, username, logo, bad hands, mutated hands, mammal, anthro, furry, ambiguous form, feral, semi-anthro, censored, bar censor, mosaic censoring, Version 2.0
This release is a new merge from scratch and is now based on Illustrious-XL-v2.0.

Sampler / Scheduler: Euler A with SGM Uniform / DPM++2M SDE with Karras / UniPC with Normal
CFG: 3-7
Steps: 30
Resolutions: official SDXL resolutions or up to 1536x1536px
Highres.fix and adetailer if necessary depending on use case

optional: High-res fix and adetailer depending on use case
Settings for CFG++ Samplers:
Sampler+Scheduler: DPM++ 2S Ancestral CFG++ with Karras Dynamic / Euler Ancestral CFG++ with Simple or Beta
Steps: 25-40
CFG: 1.35 - 1.5 (only tested this range)
Quality tags: Smooth Positive NoobAI for positive prompt
Smooth Negative NoobAI for negative prompt
