    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 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?

    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?
