🧪 ReaLiuM ReFoRGeD v1.01 – The Chaos Lab Got an Upgrade

What started as a failed offshoot is now a full-blown experimental platform. ReaLiuM ReFoRGeD is no longer just scraps – it's a nearly stable model built for testing wild ideas before (or instead of) integrating them into Illustrious Renaissance.

LoRAs, model merges, encoder re-trainings, deep prompts, shallow madness… this thing has it all. And somehow, it works.

🔍 What to expect in v1.01:
✅ Massively improved prompt adherence
✅ High-quality generations at 1536 resolution without breaking
✅ Great ??????? (yes, even hands… mostly)
✅ Sharper, cleaner outputs than the original ReaLiuM
🎨 From gritty realism to stylized elegance – it adapts surprisingly well.
⚠️ Some edges still rough. It’s an evolving project.

This is no longer an alpha. This is ReaLiuM with a purpose – a fusion reactor where techniques are tested, broken, and reforged into something... usable. Maybe even good.

🧠 No generation tips needed – use it like you would Renaissance, but expect some surprises.
💡 Fun Fact: I created this just to throw stuff at it. Now I use it more than I expected. That’s either progress or Stockholm syndrome.

Try it. Abuse it. Break it. Or fall in love with it.
Either way… it’s alive.

🧪 ReaLiuM Alpha v1.0.B55 – A flawed gem or just another discard?

Born from the scraps of Illustrious Renaissance training sessions, ReaLiuM is a strange beast. Some things it does are absolutely awful… but what it does get right, it nails better than any other realistic model I've released or seen published.

🔍 What to expect:

• ✅ Higher image quality than Illustrious Renaissance, thanks to training on higher-resolution datasets.
• ❌ Not good prompt adherence.
• ❌ Hands... yeah, they're a mess.
• ⚠️ Barely tested. Honestly, I haven’t had time to go deep with it.

I’m releasing this as an experimental Alpha, not because it's ready, but because some prompts gave me such stunning results that I hesitated before deleting it entirely.
So… let the users decide:

Should I keep training this model alongside Illustrious Renaissance, or abandon it as another failed experiment?

🚫 No generation tips this time. Just the showcase images as reference. Try it if you feel like it. Feedback will guide the future.

💡 Fun fact: Someone offered me money to release it elsewhere after seeing an image made with this alpha. I declined. I don’t do this for money.
I do it because my life is sad and I’m a forever alone. 😅
