I completed several projects to ensure I’d have the financial means to keep exploring new architectures and possibly do full finetunes on them in the future.Juggernaut Flux (and its many sub-variants) was a ton of work, but ultimately, I’ve wrapped that chapter up. The training process gave me way too many headaches. To keep my sanity, I spent my spare time working on Juggernaut SDXL with the hope of maybe releasing one final version for you all.And that day has finally come. :)Juggernaut Ragnarok has improved in many areas: photorealism, digital painting, poses, hands, feet, and much more.That said, it’s still an SDXL model, and I don’t recommend comparing it to models like Flux, Reve, or Sora. For example, it still has limitations when it comes to text rendering or faces at a distance.I recommend using it as part of a pipeline for your projects. Example setup:FluxDev / Pixelwave / Jug Flux Pro → Juggernaut RagnarokA quick personal note about Juggernaut:Honestly, I don’t know what comes next.After the release of Sora and similar tools, the open-source image generation space feels a bit dull in comparison.Nothing has really excited me enough to dive back into training (yes, I’m talking about HiDream too).So I’m seeing Juggernaut Ragnarok as a kind of farewell, especially since it’s unclear where things are headed with CivitAI in general.(You can download all Juggernaut versions from HuggingFace, by the way.)Last but not least:Have fun with the model, share your creations, and good luck with your projects!And in case you’re wondering: Yes, you can do anything you want with Juggernaut : merge it, train it, sell the image outputs, etc.Just a simple shoutout is all I ask. :)And now, here are the recommended settings:Recommended Settings(VAE is baked in):Res: 832*1216 (For Portrait, but any SDXL Res will work fine)Sampler: DPM++ 2M SDESteps: 30-40CFG: 3-6 (less is a bit more realistic)Negative: Start with no negative, and add afterwards the Stuff you don´t wanna see in that image.VAE is already Baked InHiRes: 4xNMKD-Siax_200k with 15 Steps and 0.3 Denoise + 1.5 UpscaleAnd now, have fun trying it out. As always, I'm eagerly waiting for your pictures in the Gallery :)If you liked the model, please leave a Like. In the end, that's what helps me the most as a creator on CivitAI. :)Last but not least, I'd like to thank a few people without whom Juggernaut XL probably wouldn't have come to fruition:Dreamlook.AI (Trained 3 Side Sets)ChillpixelSilasAI6609Adam
