Starry XL enhances the Kohaku Epsilon model by specifically targeting the styles of Pixiv's top artists and expanding the character dataset to generate high-quality waifu artistic imagery.

The model has undergone extensive data balancing and processing, ensuring effective representation of approximately 600 of the most popular artist styles(total num of artists is far more than 600). Additionally, it has received enhanced training specifically targeting characters that the Kohaku Epsilon model performed poorly on in CCIP evaluations(approximately 1200 character with low ccip scroe ).

After a series of processing steps, the final training set consists of 626,495,use rtx 4090 for training 6epochs over 450 hours.
