    This is an experimental base model that ended up producing great fantastical and photorealistic results!

    How to Prompt

    I have had great results with a wide range of prompt formats including ChatGPT prompts. These I would venture to guess are great at prompting DALL E 3.

    A basic starting point...
    Steps: 20 - 60
    Sampler: DPM++ SDE, DPM++ 2M SDE, or DPM++ 2S a
    Schedule: Karras or Exponential
    CFG: 3-6

    For inspiration, take a look at some of the images I have shared for each of the model updates, please comment with any questions.

    About the Model

    This model started accidentally merging LoRAs for SDXL into my Pony model. I have since merged around 50 LoRAs and fine-tuned this model with my own LoRAs to get it to a point where I like it. I know there is a lot to be said for showing your work, however, I was not expecting to share this model publicly. I can say that I have followed rules in regards to what is able to be shared and or merged based on creator licenses. I want to make a note that in the future, I do plan on documenting and releasing information as I feel even a mention is warranted.

    Disclaimer: Descent Engine XL is designed to deliver imaginative and high-quality image generation, but the output is shaped by sophisticated algorithms and user inputs. The responsibility for the content produced using this model rests with the user. Please use Descent Engine XL responsibly, and always follow ethical guidelines when creating and sharing your content.
