⚡ These settings are not the same as the standard SDXL workflow — be sure to adjust your pipeline!💡 What’s the difference between FP16 and FP32 checkpoints?
FP16 (half precision) uses 16-bit floating-point weights. It’s smaller in size, loads faster, and uses less VRAM - perfect for normal image generation. You won’t notice any visual difference for inference, so it’s ideal for everyday use.
FP32 (full precision) uses 32-bit weights, which means it’s larger and heavier on resources. It doesn’t improve generation quality, but it’s better if you’re training, merging, or fine-tuning models, since it keeps the exact weight data without rounding loss.
🧠 Prompting
Example negative prompt:
cartoon, illustration, anime, painting, CGI, 3D render, low quality, watermark, logo, labelor use CyberRealistic Negative
✨ Optional Adetailer
Adetailer model: face_yolov9c.pt
If you only want the main face being refined set 'Mask only the top k largest' to 1.🔗 Links

Description
There have been significant changes and improvements across multiple areas. I decided to skip versions 2.3 and 2.4 due to unsatisfactory results.

Another excellent release by Cyberdelia!
perfect 10/10 for 3.0,
i think i suck at prompting and im getting amazing results
Very good heading to become some fantastic model.
Pros contra v1, v2 line: realism, prompt adherence.
Needs progression in eyes (serious eye problem there is, even your main picture has eye problem), celebrity, lora character likeness( only 1/5 is good, the rest is not even come near to character).
Hell, I eagerly waiting even for a 4.2 xl to be match your legendary sd 1.5 checkpoint.
Keep it up, very good progress.
v3 -SDXL
9/10 nice
I think the 3.0 Version is lacking in the celebrity lora dept, im unable to get consistent likeness to real of celebrity loras as compared to 2.2
Cyberrealistic is truly on the way to be the best SDXL checkpoint... but not yet.
I've compared it with a bunch of the most famous alternatives and Cyberrealistic 3 wins hands down in the iq department. If you use it properly.
What was that supposed to meant? image quality is far better with lower CFG as 1.5. The images with CFG 6 or 7... are not as realistic to say the least. Probably is way to bright for my taste.
So I recommend using it with a low CFG.
The cons: prompt adherence is better in other sdxl checkpoints, faces with loras a sometimes a little bit weird if its not a closeup (closeups are amazing though), lora likeness probably has a little bit of room for improvement.
All in all, yeah, in the best top 5 sdxl checkpoints for sure. With time and some tweakings, it might be the best one in SDXL as Cyberrealistic is in the SD. 1.5 platform. Just not yet.
I'll keep forward to the next update. I think it will blow some minds. Mine included.
All in all, great job Cyberdelia.
I've noticed also the 'issue' with faces and CFG and am already working on a new version (3.1). Version 2.4 had fewer problems, so I’m considering either releasing that version as well or using it as the foundation for 3.1, with some additional training from version 3.0.
@Cyberdelia many thanks for the tip! there was no need, really! Yeah now I've noticed that the color palette at CFG 3 is bloody fantastic. The warm tones are spot on. It's very distinctive too because i haven't found any other checkpoint with such colour richness. Its on a league of its own. I think it's actually very close to perfect (i have a hard time saying something is perfect!). But yeah, the faces at medium distance is the big issue.
Where can I find the "CyberRealistic_Negative_SDXL" embedding? Cant seem to find it :(
