An all-around mixes of different models (both SFW and NSFW), with precisely picked weights during each step of the mixing process. I really liked the final result, so I decided to share it - enjoy :).
Light Mix is based mainly on SDXL Lightning (8 steps), and it works best with the same reference workflow, that is: sgm_uniform scheduler, Euler sampler, CFG 1.0, 8 steps. You can add few more steps when using Euler Ancestral. You can use ComfyUI (recommended), SD web UI, SD web UI Forge, or Fooocus.
Creating a new model, either by training, or mixing existing ones in sensible way - it takes time. If you enjoy any of my products, and/or find them useful, please consider supporting my efforts via Buy Me a Coffee, Ko-fi, or Patreon. I would appreciate even small one-time tips like $1 - it's a sign for me I've made something useful, worth your donation.
If you'd like to see how I use these models, you can check out @moonride303 on Instagram or DeviantArt, or /r/MoonRideMixes on Reddit.
PS If you're getting different results - make sure you're using Clip Skip 2, and have proper negative prompt files in your embeddings folder.

I love how you went from bombastic anime to a well rounded mix. I am extremely waiting for my next time i g et on a gpu and test my loras becuse i'll be using this one :)
Yeah, I've spend many hours doing good selection prior to merges - so the parents are both high quality, and diversified. I was also doing quality checks at each phase of merging, and correcting weights as needed. Last 2 phases also correcting distribution with offset noise. Should be solid all-arounder, and fun to play with :).
@MoonRide I've used your previous ones a ton, and it cracks me up when people call me "SKILLED" because when you joined and were making models I was not VERY good at it XD
@duskfallcrew I'm glad I could provide something useful :). We should also remember and credit brilliant researchers at Stability AI (SDXL), and ByteDance (SDXL-Lightning), as we can finetune and merge those models mainly because of their hard work. Same goes for all those nice finetuned models used as parents - those required time and effort, as well. And now - let's enjoy last few days / weeks of peace, before SD3 era begins ^^.
@MoonRide That's if SD3 is anything like the hype it says it has XD I mean SDXL is only just taking off 6 months later - I will gladly use SD3 clearly, but if it is anything like the take up of SDXL, it'll be up to those that know what they're doing to make the first finetunes :D
hey, i've already tried a few XL models... yours is the first one that gives me good results despite the ridiculous 8vram of my card. i'm having a lot of fun with it, thanks!
