This is a new Pony SDXL model which includes some additional training data based on my photography. It's intended for photorealism but you may have good results with other styles.
Description
Improved realism and skin textures.
Less oversaturation, more realistic lighting and color.

This is a fantastic checkpoint. I love it... it's produced some great images for me.
But unfortunately... This could just be me... but after using it for a few hours I suddenly got an error and SD becomes unusable when it is loaded as checkpoint. If I restart SD (in Auto1111), it stops SD from loading. I even trashed and re-downloaded it... but the error keeps happening when I launch SD:
Stable diffusion model failed to load
Loading weights [79f42e0da5] from /Users/xxxxxxxxxxx/stable-diffusion-webui/models/Stable-diffusion/Halcyon PONY v1.1.safetensors
Creating model from config: /Users/howardcoale/stable-diffusion-webui/repositories/generative-models/configs/inference/sd_xl_base.yaml
But this ends up being an endless loop, and SD becomes useable, and also can't be changed from the Halcyon checkpoint. Very sadly, I'm going to have to trash it. I'm hoping another version will work later.
I haven't had this issue and I use it all day every day.
runs smoothly for a day now here, near continuous (swarmui with comfy backend)
I noticed the first time I generate, I get an error that a tensor with all nan's is produced. You might try launching your UI w/command line --no-half-vae
What GPU do you use?
fantastically good!
i'm torturing it at 21:9, and STILL getting wonderful results.
it's so good i'm making my first comment here to thank you!
Very good at handling loras. especially good at dealing with lightning loras.
Diverse and dynamic checkpoint that adhere to prompting.
Good job and thanks.
Is there any way to generate using this LoRa online? It seems criminally underrated! (based on @b0bsm1th 's photos)
Btw, what's your setup @b0bsm1th if I may?
