What is this?

This is an experimental checkpoint I built by merging a very large number of checkpoints (sorry I didn't think to keep track of each one) using my own iterative merging workflow that involves repeatedly merging (1 step regular, 2 steps DARE) with randomized parameters and then picking the best candidate using a series of tests.

The goal is a NoobAI checkpoint that is easy to use and works for almost any prompt, with a range of knowledge and styles, and providing a medium level of detail.

Usage Tips:

For the best balance between color and prompt accuracy I like a CFG between 4.0 to 7.0 and 22-32 steps.

Use hi-res fix to produce larger images with much more accuracy and detail. I have DARE merged in weights from models designed for higher res images to assist with this :)

For some example images I process multiple prompts independently and then concatenate the weights together (helps the model to avoid mixing unrelated subjects). I reconstructed those prompts in the image metadata using "BREAK" to denote where the prompts are concatenated, for compatibility with other workflows that use BREAK syntax.

Use a mixture of danbooru & e621 tags, and very simple sentences.
