Pay attention to the token limits when using this model in your workflow, and shortern prompts if artifacts becomes too obvious.</li><li>The medium model has a different training data distribution than the large model, so it may not respond to the same prompt similarly.</li><li>We recommended to sample with <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://github.com/comfyanonymous/ComfyUI/pull/5404">Skip Layer Guidance</a> for better struture and anatomy coherency.</li></ul>
