20240515 version 3.0
Trained with movie still images, manually picked up aesthetic images.
Improve "Chinese", "Traditional cloth", etc
This version finally achieve the shadow and lighting effect of what I want.
So, version jumped to 3.0
Something got nerf due to this training:
text ability
hands
eyes
Might fix above with new fixing in further version.
20240510 version 2.6
This version is trained on generated images by 2 pass workflow, pixart-sigma2openxl2.5
Mainly improved shadow and light
Maintain the same level of text generation as before
Fixed "borning" standing pose due to version 2.5 training
20240504 version 2.5
Creative photo was added as a stylish tag.
The following version would continue improve this tag.
20240502 version 2.4b
Slightly improve text accurate. Most of time would be improved compare to 2.4a. But a few time the 2.4a still better than 2.4b.
Adjust photorealistic generation.
please read the suggestion of 2.4a for text generation.
2.4c might be a dpo on top of 2.4b.
20240428 version 2.4a
Focus on text generation, suggested prompt for text generation:
Positive Prompt:
blurry foreground with text "{text}" {main subject}
Negative Prompt:
worst quality, worst anatomy, distortion
cfg: 3.5
sampler: dpm++ 3m sde
using align your steps: 10
not using align your steps: 30
Reminder: version 2.4a is alpha of openxl2.4. It might have many version based on 2.4.
20240425 version 2.3e
Improve shadow and light
Improve face detail
20240423 version 2.3c
restore clip to version 2.2 which perform better
20240422 version 2.3
Trained with PAG generated images from version 2.2
Improve structure, anatomy, skin color etc
Might slightly impact the text generation.
20240417 version 2.2
mainly improve fingers
slightly improve shadow
20240415 version 2.1
Adjusted skin and shadow
slightly improved anatomy
20240412 version 2.0
Fully retrained from sdxl base, multi round training
dataset:
a few anime images, fashion images, filtered pickscore dataset, 4k video captures, cosplay photo, nvidia inthewild dataset, etc
Trigger words:
anime artwork, fashion photo, cosplay photo, raw photo, cotton doll, woman, man, etc
To achieve realistic images, please use raw photo of at the beginning and don't use something like unity, cg, etc
To achieve cute image, might try to add cotton doll to get a shape of cotton doll
To generate woman, please use woman rather than 1girl. It would usually generate a girl when using 1girl.
Merged list:
sdxl dpo lora
openxlv1.4
--kohaku alpha and beta
No animagine v3 and pony diffusion in merge
Please beware, chinese woman, chinese traditional cloth, something related to chinese race extended weird sdxl chinese biases. It would be improved in further version. But now, please don't use this tag to generate realistic image.
20240323 version 2.0 beta
20231229 Version 1.4 Human Preference Improvement
Finally, before 2024 version 1.4 is made.
Trained with pickapicv2 dataset with 4000 filtered dataset.
Aims to improvement the aesthetic, realistic, pupil, shadow and light, composition etc.
It is a overall improvement compared to old version.
If any want to use turbo version, I suggest use the turbo lora or lcm lora with is more efficent than I merge with the lora or model.
Appreciate comment or image post. Thank you.
20231201 Version 1.3 Turbo Merge And Female Faces Adjustment
Merge with SDXL Turbo to provide quality output with 10 steps fast generation.
Adjust female face details such as shadow, lips, contour, etc
Openxl v1.3 turbo suggested generation config:
Steps: 10
Cfg: 1~5 suggested 2
Sampler: dpmpp_3m_sde
Scheduler: sgm_uniform
Full version output would be slightly different than the turbo.
It is suggested to use turbo version as a fast generation and full version for the quality.

Training Method:
The newest update has used various training method, including:
Quality training from Meta emu
Descriptive caption from Openai Dalle3
Direct fine tune
etc
The training dataset didn't include any image from nijijourney. I don't like the niji style much.
This checkpoint aims to as an improved version of SDXL which could provide various style.
User Instruction:
Aspect Ratio:

SDXL standard aspect ratio, please avoid to use 512*512, 512*768 those SD1.5 width height to generate images.
Prompt Style:
[Style word] [description] [supporting word]
It is recommanded to use above format to generate image in certain style.
Because SDXL is capable to generate in various style, it should state the style before your subject to control the image style.
If it is not enough to generate certain style, please use neg prompt to state the style you don't want.
For example:
Pos:
photo of an anime pikachu playing basketball in a realistic wordon, a closed laptop on a desk, detailed background
Neg:
white background, 3d render
It is not suggested to use a huge combination of negative prompt which used in SD1.5.
You might want to try with or without the negative prompt to see the different.
Classifier Free Guidance (CFG):
It is recommended to use 2.5~5.5 cfg.
Sampler:
It is recommanded 3m sde gpu.
Scheduler:
It is recommanded karras.
Steps:
25~40
Just try it for various prompts and please share the image🖼️ and feedback📓 if you like it.
Thank you❤️.

I merged my own heavily-merged model with the Human Preference Improvement 1.4, merged RealVis Turbo with rmsdxl Turbo, and then merged those two merges together
and suddenly, most of my SDXL quality complaints were solved. the improvement is immense.
after some fairly extensive testing, i think the biggest improvements came from HPI and RealVis.
it's so much better now, not just for clarity but for receptivity to more complex concepts, that I think I'm going to finally throw away the 2tb of other models that have been cluttering up my hard drives...
@blncd Could you provide a merge recipe/upload the checkpoint (50/50 merges or other ratios)? I'd like to replicate
Openxl is kinda a clean model which didn't merge with many models. Except two anime models which aims to improve the anime quality and it has consequence which draw back quite a lot of photo realistic. I am still working on it but it might not solve recently. The next merge of openxl might use an early version to merge with animagine-xl 3.0 to improve anime quality but it need to wait animagine-xl 3.0 come out. I haven't plan to merge with others realistic model yet. The next move of openxl is to train with gesture which aims to improve the prompt following with left hand gesture and right hand gesture. It might works or fail. Let's see. Rather than a popular merge, openxl is more like my experiment model to achieve my thought on latent diffusion.
As I memtioned in model page, this model is restricted with merge and commercial, you could download it and do what you want but you need to take the responsibility if any legal action occur. It is because I trained with research only dataset.
@billthekobold It was all 50/50
(my own custom merge v1) / (this model) = mergeA
(rmsdxl turbo) / (realvis turbo) = mergeB
(mergeA) / (mergeB) = mergeC
(mergeC) / (custom model v1) = custom merge v2
mergeC was also very good but there were features in my original custom merge that i wanted to retain
@xiaozhijason Understood, I take considerations about that kind of stuff if I consider uploading models here. I should add, "my own heavily-merged private custom model"
edit: I barely understand the tech jargon :) But you're an actual tech-wizard. Keep it up, good job
@blncd thanks for understanding
@blncd Ah I see- not your publicly-available model. I'll keep tinkering with merges on my end, but I'll add this and Merge B into the list.
Dude YES! This model is a go-to for literally every merge i monkey with now
hi, the 1.3 turbo model seems to prefer a longer leg and taller for women, not everything but women are likely to enlarge in 1.2 or 1.3 in the tall way.
You might try 1.4 with lcm lora or turbo lora.
