I made this model to ensure my future LoRA training is compatible with newer models, plus to get a model with a style neutral enough to get accurate styles with any style LoRA. Training on this model is much more effective conpared to NAI, so at the end you might want to adjust the weight or offset (I suspect that's because NAI is now much diluted in newer models). I usually find good results at 0.65 weigth that I later offset to 1.

This is good for inference (again, especially with styles) even if I made it mainly for training. It ended up being super good for generating pics and it's now my go-to anime model. It also eats very little vram.

The first version I'm uploading is a fp16-pruned with no baked vae, which is less than 2 GB, meaning you can get up to 6 epochs in the same batch on a colab.

Just make sure you use CLIP skip 2 and booru style tags when training.

Remember to use a good vae when generating, or images wil look desaturated. I suggest WD Vae or FT MSE. Or you can use the baked vae version.
