A lot of these fixes came directly from feedback identified by our Patreon community — folks running the in-development checkpoints, noting what broke, and helping us prioritize what to fix for the next version.
## 🚀 Be part of the next version
We run a free image generator at discord.gg/DZEenb5wGc that ships the next-in-development checkpoint inline. Explorers generate with it, report shortfalls, and we record that feedback into the build queue for the following version.
If you've ever wanted to be part of how a checkpoint is actually made — hop in. Free to use, no install, no setup. Generate, find issues, tell us, and you'll see your fixes land in the next release.
## File lineup
Six format variants ship for general use:

Hey everyone! We’re thinking about switching our generation model from Pony V3 to Pony V4. What do you think? React to this comment to vote:
Heart ❤ if you’re excited for Pony V4
Like 👍if you’d rather keep Pony V3
Feel free to leave a comment too, we’d love to hear your thoughts!
I came here to comment. This seems like a good play. First I'd like to say, I'm a big fan of your models Yogi and love these models. With that said, v4 is VERY blurry and hazy for me. No matter how I prompt it, I can't get the model to look good 😥. Any advice would be great but for now, v3 has much more clarity for me. Let me know what you think may be causing this or if it was just simply the way it was trained. Thanks.
Small edit, I've got some high quality images but I have to run 50-60 steps and it's not consistent. I'm a 30 step kind of man with my GPU if I can help it. (2080ti)
@BigSad11 Thanks for the Love and feedback. Please share some image links with me , you can via discord. or civit chat.
@Stable_Yogi Will do when I get some time today
Take my vote with a grain of salt as I do not use Civit generator and generally prefer your Realism model over Babes. But at least in Forge Babes 4 looks like plastic. I tried quite a few samplers, schedulers, diffusion modes, with and without your embeddings and cannot get it to produce anything close to Babes 3, not even talking about Realism 3.
@iheartlumina Noted.
@iheartlumina I shared some photos with him Iheart with pretty much the same results. Like you, I do local image generation. It might be better with Civitai's hardware. I'm sure he'll fix it in the next one. It would be cool to see an updated v4 though though if possible 😅. With all that said, v3 and realistic 3 are still my 2 favorites above all others so no complaining here. Just trying to help. Maybe our hardware generates differently which would be good for the Dev to know.
@BigSad11 We are listening to your feedback, and working on the fixes.
We have updated all 5 models on 15-12-2024
Babes Pony V4 Fp16
Babes Pony V4 Fp32
Babes Pony V4 DMD2
Babes Pony V4 Lightning
Babes Pony V4 Hyper.
if you already have downloaded, then please re-download.
Thanks, Dont forget to share your feedback here.
V4 32 Fix is absolutely CRUSHING IT in the Draw Things app. I use it to generate locally on iPhone and iPad. The couple I did on CivitAI with the online version turned out great also!
Wow! The clarity on the Fixed version is 10x better! I don't know what you did Stable_Yogi & team but it came out great! Redownload anyone who hasn't and to anyone wondering if this model is worth the buzz, it is! Buy it!
My personal favorite of the 4 versions (if you're deciding) is the FP32 version if you can handle the data.
Thank you for the Feedback and testing,
I really appreciate your time and recommending it. 🙏
Agreed. Huge improvement. Ancestral samplers seem to work better: Euler A (a bit soft) around 4.5 CFG or DPM++ 2S a or DPM2 a around 3 CFG. I have only tried VAE, not FP32, Hyper or Lightning. Amazing that most tokens do not move away from racial / ethnic features as common with realistic Pony checkpoints.
My only pet peeve is the puckered anus by default. I use the token to force certain poses but not the particular look. It would be nice if future versions left that look to a more specific token.
@iheartlumina share the tokens and the images, will see to it.
@Stable_Yogi Thank you for being willing to look into it. Check out this post
https://civitai.com/posts/10388778
First image is the default sitting position with spread legs. By adding "anus" token I force a position that is more open toward viewer (second image) But compare it to the third image (same tokens, same seed, Realism 3). See how in the last image the body part in question is ... more delicate, I guess.
@iheartlumina got it, Noted, will fix in next update. Thanks.
Which checkpoint is better v4 vae fix or the v4 fp32 vae fix? like whats better for on site gen?
@xDVx On Site Gen only Available on V4_VAE_FIX. (FP32 Is better if you can run it locally)
@Stable_Yogi I like the checkpoints, just wish i could run local lol. Would be neat if there was a way to have checkpoints cycle week to week.
@Stable_Yogi this is the best model I’ve tried since I first started generating images. VERY well done!
🙏❤
This is my go-to model, and the Pony V4 version is the best yet! I usually generate somewhat hyper-realistic images, but this model provides excellent details and good control.
Thanks for the feedback !
amazing, thank you, still trying to figure out how to use it with consistent characters. any one have any tips?
I know if i use too many loras or too many redundant tags i might end up with overly similar faces. While I don't like this, i enjoy some variety, you could mess with this to see where it takes you.
The kinds of loras i find do it are ones with low training data. Usually something you don't want.
The real answer is probably taking a resulting image you like and using tools to replicate the face in additional images (ive seen some guides, but havent tried it).
Try making a lora and then you can have unlimited images of that character.
My results for v4 are just slightly different than v3 - enough that I recc. that people keep the old one around for a while. Excellent work, though - it keeps getting better.
Thanks for the feedback.
i cant generate nothing can you point me some basic workflow please
@ruimcosme18
try this workflow and use the DMD2 checkpoint with this.
https://civitai.com/models/1215102/sdxldmd2workflowbystableyogi
thankssss
it is ok, and makes good anatomy, especially if you prompted "anu$" it will draw gigantic wrinkled a$$ hole.
but this style is too much, it is too different, and too stylized to be realistic, same time it is not artistic to considered as stylized.
Edit: Easy to direct, ipadapter works if you keep from the optional clip vision and insightvision input free. Being pony based, this model is easy to manipulate, especially face and pose. the realistic aspect is the main selling point.
Sorry for my mistake with below comment. It was the shadow of my inexperienced self. I will leave it as reminder of my incompetence. Thank you.too strong on the face, hard to workwith ipadapter faceid, other than that works really well with pure generation. Really well packed and follow prompts quite well
Thanks for the feedback !
Really like the results of this model. The exaggeration is subtle(ish), and very appealing.
It handles prompts for older subjects well.
Thanks for the feedback 🙏
The quality and details are amazing!
Thanks for the support and love much appreciated 🙏
One of my all time favs! Thank you!
Thanks for the love and support ! 🙏
