Note: After a lot of testing, I think you can try the AYS schedulers, Gits, 11 and 32
I want to start by saying that this model is quite experimental, remembering that it is an acceleration method that will work in 8 steps so please don't be too harsh in your judgment. Even so, I think it has given me very surprising results in many things.
To begin with, what is this? It's an SDXL model based on the TCD acceleration system, a system that, unlike Turbo, Lightning, or DMD, delivers results much closer to a true base SDXL. If you want to know more about this, I've included two very informative articles.

The real advantage of using TCD is that, unlike DMD, for example, which only works with the LCM Sampler (which many complain about for its plasticky textures), here you can use a wide variety of Sampler-Schedule combinations.
This model is experimental, as I said, since the TCD method is designed to run in Comfy with a specific sampler (TCD), but here I achieved a hybrid version so that it can be used not only in Comfy but also in Forge (as well as other methods, but for now I will only refer to those two).
The parameters to be used are very important, so I recommend the following:
The VAE is BAKED
Upscaler: Im using 4x-ClearRealityV1 upscale by 1.5 Steps 10 denois 0.3 Hires CFG 1, i changed only the Hires Sampling to Euler A but the other parameter stay the same,
Width and height: 896*1152
CFG Scale: 1
Steps: 8
The sampling methods I recommend, although you can experiment with several, are: , DPM++SDE-Karras, DPM++SDE-SGM Uniform, DPM++SDE-Beta, Euler A-Beta, Euler Beta, DPM++SDE-AYS Gits
The model works very well with CFG at 1, so there's no need to use negatives.
What do I mean by saying that different samplers and schedules can be used? Judge for yourself.

I really hope you can try it, give me your feedback, and help me improve. Keep in mind that it's one of the few SDXL models with a TCD system. Thanks.
