    Level4 SDXL (Turbo)

    A reimagination of Level4 for SDXL! Currently in alpha and improvements are on the way. Face and hands still need work.

    Update:

    Level4 XL alpha v0.4 brings higher contrast along with better hands and faces. This came at a small sacrifice to flexibility. Some styles may need to be weighted to reflect this, e.g. (style:1.5). AutoCFG is not required but highly encouraged. This model is sensitive to CFG changes. Different styles may require different CFG, which is why I suggest AutoCFG.

    Steps: 8-16

    AutoCFG: 2-3

    CFG: 1-3

    Sampler: DMP++ SDE

    Scheduler: Karras

    Contact me if you wish to use my model commercially!

    Don't really understand why this is not hyped more. I'm as excited as I was when I stumbled on an unknown model named Juggernaut. Finally I feel the pictures have a Midjourney-style depth and density! Can't wait for the development...

    I'll come back when there's a XL 1.0 version, looks neat!

    Great model, but somehow the description or the example images are wrong: If I use CFG Scale 3, like in the example images, I get very different images (in A1111), but nearly the same, if I reduce the CFG to 1.

    For example "woman waving at viewer" gives in A1111 with CFG 3 indeed an "80's anime screencap" as requested in the prompt, but with CFG 1 it gives a similar analogue photo like the example. (?)

    So the actual prompt adherence is actually much better(!) than shown in the examples.

    fantastic model, it seem to ignore wide shot, zoom out, landscape, full shot, medium close up, and force close ups 90% of the time.

    otherwise what a amazing model. excellent work thank you very very much

    Anyone had success with this model using Automatic1111? I try the recommended range of settings (low CFG, steps) but everywhing comes out rough and super-saturated. TIA for any suggestions.

    Great Model! If now it were to actually do some shots that are not portrait-esque, but a bit further away (full body view), it would be even more amazing. Edit: Somehow, this is the only Checkpoint that does not play nice with any HiRes Fix Upscalers whatsoever.

    Love the model. What's a good inpaint model to use with it?
