    Recommended settings:

    • Sampling method: DPM++ 2M (SDE) Karras or Euler A (DPM++ 3M SDE also works fine)

    • Sampling steps: 20 - 40 (too high will not add any extra value, too low... you know)

    • CFG Scale: 3 - 6 (recommended 4)

    • Width: 832 (any SDXL standard size is ok)

    • Height: 1216 (any SDXL standard size is ok)


    HiRes.Fix Setting:

    • Hires upscale: 1.5

    • Hires steps: 15

    • HiRes Upscaler: Remacri

    • Denoising strength: 0.3 - 0.4


    Tips and tricks

    • Use light prompts as much as possible, Pony models work wonders with few tokens

    • Avoid using many textual inversions, they will hijack your main prompt

    • Using ADetailer for faces is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED, you will thank me looking at results

    • You can randomise seed, but I like to use these two batches on XYZ plots, they work decently:

      • 42, 123456789, 51234, 987654321

      • 1234, 54321, 2023, 7777, 8080, 314159, 8675309, 666666, 101010, 424242

    Can you please release SDXL version?
    Not fan of Pony models & their prompting, too confusing & complicated :(

    thanks for the feedback, I'll try to work on something if I have time!

    phleshOct 19, 2025

    I use to think that until I actually looked into it and really, you just have to copy/paste "score_9, score_8, score_7_up" to the beginning of every positive prompt and everything else is pretty much like every other model, IMO

    @phlesh you can use embeddings in the positive prompt to avoid always adding scores at the beginning. otherwise, try without scores, results are different but equally decent

    phleshOct 21, 2025

    @SassyAI yea I know, I was trying to keep it simple

    Images seem incredibly bleached out, almost colorless with v8.0. Using all the correct settings so not sure what the issue is. v7.0 works fine too

    mmhh interesting, thanks for the feedback. from the testing I did, they seemed fine. quality was better than v7. I'll try to improve for v9

    Seems no VAE is baked in this time. All previous models worked fine.

    @BuffyDusk yep, VAE is not baked in, you can use the standard SDXL VAE or the Pony one

    @SassyAI TY, definitely was the issue

    BuffyDuskOct 25, 2025

    @SassyAI Unfortunatley I am using mage.space and cannot import VAE there. Hopefully a version 7.x or 8.x will return with VAE baked in.

    Easily one of the best Checkpoints on the site. Great results with this one. Also works well when used with another Checkpoint like Cyberrealistic Pony when using in a Refiner workflow.

    Can you tell what is refiner workflow?

    @abhiraj320 It's a workflow that tends to get really sharp results by using two checkpoints (or the same checkpoint, but twice). It generates a primary image from the first checkpoint and then puts a little bit of noise into the image so that when the second checkpoint runs, it has to "refine" the image (ie: remove the noise) and basically sharpens what the first generation already did. Google "refiner workflow comfyui" and you'll find one for download. Highly recommended.

    Now If I want to train my character Lora, should I download this checkpoint and train over that? or should I train over base pony?

    Can you help me?

    SassyAI

    you can try both, but usually it's better (and safer) to train on the base pony model. Unless you only want to use this model to generate. Training on the base pony makes your LoRA more flexible

    abhiraj320Nov 1, 2025

    @SassyAI OstrisAI don't have PONY base model to train for. How to train on OstrisAI?

    @abhiraj320 Can't you download/upload it and train on it? Otherwise try training on this one and see results

    OK model. Nice rendering. Not so true to the prompt.

    I'm getting white spots all over the generated image. Anyone having the same issue or am i missing something ?

    gman_umschtOct 31, 2025· 1 reaction

    Sounds like a missing VAE to me?

    SassyAI

    Oct 31, 2025

    Yeah, @gman_umscht has a point.
    Try generating with a VAE. This model doesn't have a baked-in VAE

    This is my favorite checkpoint of all time. Everything feels polished but not overly. A little resistant to exact adherence. But man. Such great results sometimes.

    This is possibly the best pony model yet, it has cyber and realdream beat, and I don't know of a better model in all of AI honestly.
