We weren’t slacking off - we were cooking up something big. Over the past few weeks, we’ve been not only refining Illustrious but also building our very own site. Now, we have a home where you can get the latest insights on Illustrious, our training techniques, updates, and more. From now on, all updates will be posted directly on our site!

The model has performed best finetuning stability in our internal tests – with highest TrueSkill rating(among v1-v2) in external demo evaluation. We want to note that we consider the compatibility &amp; finetuning capability the most important feature of our baseline model. The model itself is not trained with aesthetic set / and we tried our best to debias the potential biases in model, for better overall performance. Thus, we release ‘untuned’ base version, which should work as better merging / training bases. With release of the models, we also showcase example LoRA adapters, which is widely compatible across versions with recent character knowledges.<h3 id="natural-language-handling-kzgr4hu8l"> Natural Language Handling</h3>The model itself is highly compatible with natural language sentences – it is far more robust, it is less likely to generate multiple views or nonsense outputs. <code>Generate a highly detailed anime-style illustration of a young man floating serenely above a sprawling, futuristic cityscape. The boy has dark, messy hair and piercing blue eyes. He's wearing a long, flowing white coat over dark, streamlined clothing – think a mix of traditional Japanese garments and futuristic techwear. His expression is calm and confident, almost detached. He is surrounded by a faint, glowing aura of light, possibly blue or white.</code><h3 id="below-him-is-a-vast-sci-fi-city-filled-with-towering-skyscrapers-holographic-advertisements-and-flying-vehicles.-the-city-should-have-a-vibrant-color-palette-neon-blues-purples-and-pinks-contrasting-with-darker-metallic-structures.-there-should-be-a-sense-of-depth-and-scale-with-buildings-receding-into-the-distance.-the-overall-atmosphere-should-be-epic-and-awe-inspiring-suggesting-a-powerful-and-mysterious-character-overlooking-a-technologically-advanced-world.-focus-on-dynamic-lighting-and-detailed-textures-to-create-a-visually-stunning-image.-persona-3-masterpiecehigh-and-low-resolution-supports-9ulkyxv7k"> <code>Below him is a vast sci-fi city, filled with towering skyscrapers, holographic advertisements, and flying vehicles. The city should have a vibrant color palette – neon blues, purples, and pinks contrasting with darker metallic structures. There should be a sense of depth and scale, with buildings receding into the distance. The overall atmosphere should be epic and awe-inspiring, suggesting a powerful and mysterious character overlooking a technologically advanced world. Focus on dynamic lighting and detailed textures to create a visually stunning image. persona 3, masterpiece</code> High &amp; Low Resolution supports</h3>V2.0 supports 512~1536 resolutions. It is trained max 1:10 (or, 10:1) aspect ratio, with width / height multiples of 32. <code>analogous colors, scenery, forest, masterpiece, black theme, dark, no lighting, night, black background</code> Below is the 2x2 grid generation in 512x512 resolution: <code>1girl, solo, natsuiro matsuri, selfie, saturated, masterpiece, jirai kei, naughty smile, dark, very dark, black theme, masterpiece, black, high contrast, sketch, monochrome Negative prompt: worst quality, bad quality</code> Steps: 28, Sampler: DPM++ 2S Ancestral CFG++, Schedule type: Normal, CFG scale: 2.5, Seed: 1934035447, Size: 1824x1248 (NOTE CFG scale should be 6.5 in recent implementations) The models are capable for extreme high resolution generation more stably, with higher denoising strength, which is important for stable detail generations. Below is an example with 8MP img2img process: We are also analyzing how to tweak the sampler schedule for better detail generations – we will try our best to showcase the results.Finally, we note the definite future plan for the model releases. We have decided to make model release sequentially, in three stage manner: A. Exclusive B. Early access C. Open source We will also continue to train &amp; release the future model series, including DiT based models.<h3 id="safety-guidelines-vbebykoc0"> Safety Guidelines</h3>The model can be controlled by optional “rating” levels, described as explicit / questionable / sensitive / general The alternative tokens, such as “adult content”, “r-18”, “nsfw”, “explicit material”, “sfw”, “safe for work” works for moderation. Generative models can sometimes result biased, unintended outcomes. Users are required to generate and control the materials in responsible manner.

Your feedback is invaluable, and we deeply appreciate your continued interest and support. Thanks!
