This is an experimental attempt to convert a standard SDXL model to V-prediction one with Zero Terminal SNR schedule with a fixed colors using a relatively small diverse dataset of some hand-picked images.<h1 id="v6-a7mfmfe42">V6</h1><h2 id="you-must-set-sampling-type-to-v-prediction-and-apply-zero-terminal-snr-patch-otherwise-you-will-get-noise.-h90rfanzu">You must set sampling type to V-prediction and apply Zero Terminal SNR patch, otherwise you will get noise.</h2>This checkpoint was continued from <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/models/435207/artiwaifu-diffusion">ArtiWaifu</a> using a modified version of <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://github.com/kohya-ss/sd-scripts">https://github.com/kohya-ss/sd-scripts</a> on ~1750 images with text encoder frozen.
