Welcome to NAIAD!
This is an NAI / Illustrious merge with a bunch of hand-selected checkpoints and LoRAs to improve the base model's realistic capabilites.
And wow, does it deliver!
It's focus is on creating creative and fun fantastical images of high quality, photorealistic, but exaggerated images with a focus on women.
To use the faster low-step settings, you need to use the DMD2 LoRA. This allows you to use 8 or 16 steps and generate very fast. Remember to generate in 2 passes, either using "Hires fix" in Forge/A1111, or by creating and chaining a second sampler node in ComfyUI. A sample workflow if included in the sample images of the model. Use this as a reference.
Each sample/preview image contains the used workflow. Here's a quick article with simpler more beginner-friendly workflow. This is a recommended starting point.

Why do all people get wet?
Can you clarify the base? Is it eps or vpred
No idea what either of those words mean. You tell me, does it feel like eps or vpred to you?
6tZ I don't know if you are joking or not.
kellykelly why not both?
I don't know, AND I made a joke.
6tZ Well you have this listed as a noobai merge, so i assume you have a nai model merged in.
But you say welcome to NAIAD! this is an Illustrious XL merge, and there is no mention of noobai on the page. That is why i asked to clarify. Maybe it was a mistake by you?
There's no information to explain what's in the merge.
kellykelly Ops, the Illustrious is a template use of me.
It is however indeed merged with Illustrious models of mine.
The core NAI model used is 2DN (https://civitai.com/models/520661?modelVersionId=1979724)
