V1 - 6/23 - Initial Release - GGUF'S ARE HERE!

===========================================================================

CRUX (chroma/flux) hybrid models are created by DR34MSC4PE with the best of both worlds:

• In a blurb? It is a hybrid model between Chroma/Flux that puts back the removed components (modulation layers, etc) from FLUX.1-dev by selectively merging it with a special variant of C4PACITOR but, importantly, keeping Chroma's de-distilled (unchained) nature and output layers.

• Can be used with Chroma or FLUX de-distilled workflows (CFG enabled)

• Can even be used with flux.1-dev workflows, but you'll need to increase the FluxGuidance to > 4 for adherence most times. Sampler research into "what all works" is ongoing but has been surprising!

• For the moment, it is recommended to use CHROMA or classic CFG enabled workflows (including negative prompts!) vs. FLUX unless you want to help research the boundaries with us!

• Specific anime/illustration tuning to introduce some lost artistic concepts

• NSFW tuned and capable of realism and artistic/anime images. Female anatomy is well represented as a result of CHROMA + C4PACITOR's advance knowledge on these subjects. It tends to lean toward the latter's style.

• FLUX LoRA seem to work but testing is ongoing for efficacy.

• We have not tested this in any inference tool except ComfyUI yet - YMMV! Keep us posted!
