Ether PDXL

* Ether PDXL - Version A2BFigured out why the model was half the size after saving thanks to foxmlg!My AUTO1111 was using SDXL LORAs at fp8 which resulted in the model also being saved at that precision. I disabled that setting, then re-tuned the weights to have a similar but (imo) nicer overall aesthetic.Seems to be more consistent, stable and less 'fried' than A2 (?). Not entirely sure though as I wanted to push this release as a 'quick fix'. Please let me know about your experience with version A2B!Thank you all so much for trying out my models.<hr />Still in its early stages. I'm trying to understand SDXL merging as well as navigate resources that align with my goals.VAE is baked in. It's <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civitai.com/models/152040?modelVersionId=360299">XL VAE C9.1</a> as it's more vibrant than standard SDXL which better fits the aesthetic I'm looking for.Looking forward to your feedback!📙 Model Merging Info - A2BI have no training or real knowledge of machine learning.
