A versatile and artistic Illustrious model merge family primarily based on ZU_KI's fantastic ZUKI anime ILL model. As always, this merge is tuned to my personal aesthetic preferences, and simply happens to give me the best (in my opinion) outputs from an Illustrious-based model architecture.
Description
Lite version of base model, half the size and identical performance. Don't bother with the old one.

12 gb? fp 32?
I've got a lite version on the docket for today. I honestly didn't even realize this merge was so large before uploading it.
fp 16 maybe?
fp?
I am in fact looking into getting a downsized version uploaded today if I can. I'll be honest, I didn't even see the size of the model until after it finished uploading, and I'm used to them being about 6GB even with most merges.
That's a great mix.
So genuinely curious... is a 12g model worse or better? I know it takes up more space, but like...
is the 12 better or worse than the 6? I already downloaded the 12 but my net is slow enough that downloading the 6 is gonna take atleast 20 mins.
Like does the compression by 50% reduce anything or is there effectively no difference ?
I tested both of them with absolutely no visible difference in 99% of outcomes from same prompt and seed. As far as I'm concerned, the larger file is just a novelty for anyone who knows how to dissect the files inside, just use the smaller one if you'd like. There should be no difference in performance, other than the model loading faster.
@AI_nstein Good to know. And thank you for your time. I have yet to test the model itself but I will soon. Based on the images I believe it will do well.
