The goal is basically to make Animagine on steroids.Q: The images I generate are bad and not as good as yours.A: First, make sure you follow the standard prompting guide I provide. Also, sometimes I found people using SD 1.5 embeddings with this model. DO NOT USE THEM. THEY DON'T WORK WITH SDXL.<h3 id="legals-74vkticrh">Legals</h3>Due to the usage of Animagine XL with the merge, the model is now using <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://freedevproject.org/faipl-1.0-sd/">Fair AI Public License 1.0-SD </a>license.Because of some reason, I decided to make the merging recipe clearer which I will put in the "About Version" section starting from version v0.6.

AingDiffusion XL

AingDiffusion XL v1.2.5 is a merge finetune from Animagine XL 3.1. It’s not using Animagine XL 3.1 directly, but a merge containing Animagine XL 3.0, Animagine XL 3.1, and AnythingXL (I will call it AingBase). The finetuning method used for AingDiffusion XL is what I call LyCORIS finetuning.The fine-tuned layer dataset is back to 7.7k images because the 19.8k dataset is being re-evaluated and will be strictly curated in the next version.## Finetuning Layer Details- Dataset count: 7,705 images- Batch size: 8- Gradient Accumulation: 3- Equivalent batch size: 24- Epoch: 10- Used epoch: 10- LyCORIS Network: LoKr- Network Dim: 32- Network Alpha: 16- Conv Dim: 16- Conv Alpha: 8NOTE: Dim settings used are to trigger full matrix mode on LoKr, not actually using the mentioned Dim and Alpha.- Optimizer: AdamW- LR Scheduler: Cosine annealing warmup restarts- Restarts: 10- Min.
