CyberRealistic is a flexible, easy-to-use photorealistic model built from nonstop testing, custom blends, and just the right amount of chaos. The backstory? It’s honestly a wild mashup of different checkpoints, but what really counts is what you get in the end: sharp, expressive, clean renders that just work.
It’s tuned for both textual inversion and LoRA, so it’s great for anyone from total beginners to hardcore prompt wizards. If you’re making portraits, messing around with new styles, or just want a model that steps aside and does its job, CyberRealistic won’t let you down.

Description
This is the latest, and likely final, version of CyberRealistic 1.5. I'll continue working with CyberRealistic Classic.
While there aren't any major changes, several adjustments have been made. Though this version isn't necessarily 'better' than the previous one, some bugs have been fixed and new features have been added.

i think i recall you recommending the nkmd siax upscale model. do you find that you get better results with that than remacri or 4x ultrasharp?
The differences between these upscalers are not significant. Sure there are differences but I don't have really recommendations.
The remacri is very good for clean AI generated images. The ultrasharp always introduces artifacts.
The absolute madman did it again. What a genius. One of the most remarkable creators of checkpoints in Civitai for sure. Anyways, I've always thought there's still a lot of room of improvement left in SD. 1.5 regarding the IQ department.... and this release sorta confirms my deep rooted suspicions. Yes! I know these days everyone is raving about Flux but listen to me! listen to me!!! We have barely scratched the true power of this model. This is the true GPT5 of photorealistic checkpoints. Look no further stranger! My strongest recommendation. 5 stars. PD: I'm still Cyberdelia's biggest fan so far.
In all seriousness, it's a pretty big leap in quality. Faces have lot more detail as long you don't use face restoration ofc (btwimpressive eyes), better anatomy, more interesting lightning overall than previous versions. All the above whilst maintaining the respect for the loras (which is the trademark of cyberrealistic series).The three months waiting was worth it. I don't know what you did here (better captions with soft like florence2?) but keep doin' it please. The v.7 looks like is gonna be a total beast. Looking forward to it! Great work.
This is more impressive when you see that is only on 1.5. Good job, really.
It is a blessing for the people in the low-end of the GPU scale that these amazing 1.5 models are still being made and improved. I am in the mid-end and I love how fast and versatile SD 1.5 has become, with full controlnet and Ipadapter support, loras trained in under an hour and so on. I love Flux, but I hate generating one image in it while generating a dozen or more using SD 1.5.
loras under an hour? i can make a lora in 10 minutes with very inexpensive hardware. Yeah, that's my problem right there. Flux is waaaay to slow. It feels like driving a truck.
will you please post v6.0 inpainting?
My all time fav was 4.2. Not long ago i moved on sdxl, so my question is: is it better, than 4.2 regarding prompt adherence, or just has more cinematic effect regarding sample pics?
Amazing job! I usually find myself trying to force 20 loras and embeddings to work together in the most frustrating of struggles, but your model somehow manages to pipeline everything you throw at it effortlessly... It quickly became my favorite!
please post the 6.0 inpainting
I keep going back to this model despite trying a lot of other ones, genuinely speaking nothing comes close to this regarding image quality, controlnet adaptability, prompt adherence, etc. great job! I do wish we have an inpainting version but other than that, this is a 10/10 model for me.
Time passes and still this is the most balanced model out there, able to take on the greatest amount of tasks.
Thanks. Personally I use CyberRealistic Classic 4.0. Ever tried it?
This is so good of a model, minimal mistakes, magnific hands almost all the time, and better feet than SDXL for sure :D. I've got a good machine and I decided to go back to all SD1.5 just to learn the basics again. I'm seeing too many new AI models but they require so beefy setups that I decided that is better to work fast and learn the ropes, than to crawl with too new and flashy stuff. Thank you for your efforts. Regards!
@ruberboy same here. 95% of the time I use SD1.5 (Cyberrealistic Classic) and yes also experimenting with LLM Ai models. What a interesting time we live in.
I've been saying this for months... but nobody believed me!! Now i use more XL, but when i have to use SD 1.5 i use the Classic 4.0... but this is excellent choice too. Cyberrealistic series has total supremacy in SD 1.5. Best checkpoints there are for the old sd. No question.
works like a charm
4.2 is like Nietche's übermensch, perfect, has the best DNA. First day God created 4.2, then began to rest:))))))))))))
Lol :)
Btw did you tried CyberRealistic Classic?
@Cyberdelia Sorry, no. Im on pony V7 now.
