Any males in training?
Normally don't do that, but I liked my own comment since someone disliked it lmao
MysticFrostwindĀ I donāt really understand the dislikes, what you asked is fair. Iām a bit swamped, but Iām working on adjusting my checkpoints to be more male-friendly (some are ok), and they might become separate ones.
Cyberdelia Well if it matters at all, just know you definitely have a target audience who'd really appreciate a more male-friendly checkpoint model, whenever it's most convenient for you.
Also don't worry about the dislikes, probably just some weirdos lol.
MysticFrostwindĀ As your humble ally, Iām on it.
I mean having more males in the generation makes it better at generating both heterosexual and homosexual content. No one should be downvoting something that benefits them!
Edited to add: And Cyberdelia, I wasn't saying you're not doing a great job or anything. Just speaking about people who take issue with males being included i the training data. Your models are by far my favorite along with Duchaiten's stuff.
ZilcherĀ I strongly disagree with your views. Your message is filled with harmful generalizations, misinformation, and dehumanizing rhetoric. Supporting equality and inclusion doesn't make anyone an oppressor. I'm not interested in debating hate disguised as concern.
CyberdeliaĀ You have my respect and appreciation. I hope nothing but the best for you, I hope you a wonderful day, a wonderful week, and a wonderful year.
Respect is earned, and you've earned mine, for whatever it's worth.
DaddyWolfgangĀ The inverse applies too. Too focused on women --> lesbian content is too high.
I actually run into technical issues with this model:
nodes.py:1585: RuntimeWarning: invalid value encountered in cast img = Image.fromarray(np.clip(i, 0, 255).astype(np.uint8))
Output is pure black images, tried running on --cpu and --force-upcast-attention. Neither of those did anything. Just completely reinstalled comfyui still no luck :/
Will try more once I get this fixed.
Actually, I came step further: remove the "CLIP Set last layer" node, however, images still very blocky & full of artifacts.
My god... Problem was 2-fold:
1) the sampler - turns out some samplers do not cooperate with certain torch versions --> try euler.
2) the second node doing some magic with clip, just toss it out --> transforms ALL images to pure black.
Yay!
doesnt work for me. V5 works with no problems - all the same text and setup - V6 get blown out.

Why was this restricted all of a sudden?
if you mean unable to use it on CivitAI's online generator, then it could be because it did not receive enough Buzz donation for bidding to feature this week. Try placing a bid so that it makes the cut next week.
ninja_6986Ā I bid 10,000 Buzz on several of my models, but only two won since others placed bids too. That amount used to be enough, but I guess Iāll have to start bidding higher.
CyberdeliaĀ yeah the competition is getting tougher. Thanks for continuing to contribute to the Civitai community! You make very high quality models!
ninja_6986Ā next week they are all in the generator :)
ninja_6986Ā I don't understand how other people are able to use this when it keeps blocking me. Do I have to bid too?
ASDF5469Ā People are downloading and using it locally. The on-site generator only hosts a certain number of checkpoints.
EbenezerDanglewoodĀ Ok, but it hosts 200, and this is ranked 21st. So, why is it still blocked from being used?
ASDF5469Ā it's ranked 21 now. And if it's still in the top 200 Thursday it will go in the generator for a week. It's really expensive and it cost me around 60.000 buzz every week (yes week) to have all my new models in the generator
ASDF5469Ā Normally, you don't even notice that this system exists because I always make sure you, the users, can access my models. Unfortunately, I was sick last week and couldnāt keep an eye on it. But hey, it's always nice when you join in and help out to make sure it ends up in the generator too.
CyberdeliaĀ Your models youāve produced are truly sensational and your donations to keep them featured for online use is admirable to say the least. Thank you so much!
ASDF5469Ā please take a moment to fully understand the process here https://civitai.com/articles/12904/checkpoint-coverage-update-auctions-part-ii
but the competition can be really intense, especially when insufficient fans of the checkpoint did not contribute enough buzz, and sometimes, a select few 'buzz trillionaires' can move the rankings at the last minute of the bidding period. https://civitai.com/articles/13267/the-auction-system So if you want to support the model for onsite generation, please consider chipping in with as much Buzz as you can. Otherwise, you can also download the model and generate images from your PC.
ninja_6986Ā But it's already in the Top 200, I don't understand why other models can be used, but not this one. And I don't mean by downloading - I can use other models through the site, which I guess are also in the Top 200 (I haven't looked).
ASDF5469Ā I donāt know how else to explain it. You can place bids on models throughout the entire week, and now itās indeed in the Top 200. If itās still there on Thursday at midnight, then it will be featured in the generator for a week. After that, the whole process starts over. I always try to make sure everything is set up correctly, but unfortunately that didnāt work out last week and apparently thatās quite confusing for many users.
ASDF5469Ā you have not fully understood the articles I shared with you. See links in my previous response again please.
What you can use now is the result of last week's bids. The ongoing bid for this week will continue until Thursday morning (GMT I think). Till then, the current leaderboards show what you see as a prediction for next week, and on Wednesday just seconds before the results are finalized, the following can happen: many power bidders whom I call 'Buzz Trillionaires' suddenly all bid on various other models and all of a sudden, your beloved CyberRealistic/CyberIllustrious checkpoint falls out of the top 200. If this happens again this week, then you won't be able to use the checkpoint again next week. But our hero Cyberdelia will keep at it and pre-emptively place a chunk of Buzz, so that we can try again the following week. If you would like to help, you can consider adding an amount of Buzz to the pool that you feel comfortable.
ASDF5469Ā you can do your thing now. V5 & both versions of V6 are in the generator.
Prompt adherence and variety seems better, and definitely handles LORAs better, but out of the box it's confused by a lot of figure-study prompts like "dancer, flexible, ballerina" - which result in a lot of Picasso-esque anatomy nonsense. Shame since v5 excelled at that.
The colors are bit too much bright.
Yes, I'm now uploading alternative versions of CyberIllustrious and Pony that are more balanced. Online in a few hours.
CyberdeliaĀ wow. You are fast dude. Waiting then.
GFrostĀ well I noticed this yesterday so I worked on it today.
CyberdeliaĀ You did your magick. Now colors are more soft. Thx!
