In CFG-version you will be able to use CFG values 5-8 when generating (the authors recommend a value of 8), also this version gives the possibility to work more correctly with negative prompts.

@tigerart does this work with lcm sampler (with or without lora)? has anyone tried this with animatediff yet?

@Vivipeg I'm going to play around with combining these different hyper loras with my LCM checkpoints. I'll share my findings when I have something meaningful to report!

@lucidzachary473 thanks, my initial findings show that the 8-step CFG lora doesn't work well with animatediff v3 at 8 steps dpmpp 2m (maybe I'm doing something wrong) . Maybe you'll have better luck!

@Vivipeg I could not get Hyper lora and LCM checkpoints / LCM lora to play well together. However, I decided to do extensive XYZ plot testing for LCM and hyper lora for comparison. I tested different steps (8steps and 15steps) and every single sampler I have (39?). I did this for Photon-LCM checkpoint and the regular Photon checkpoint w/ Hyper 8step lora. I can upload the 4 XYZ plot images somewhere if you want to see what samplers work well. My findings: both hyper and LCM are fast, and comparable in speed. Honestly one didn't stand out from the other in speed. Quality, however, I will give to hyper. Hyper was consistently better imo. LCM was rather stripped of detail/image complexity in contrast to 8step hyper lora. Oddly enough, the LCM sampler performed rather poorly with Photon-LCM but was one of the better samplers when used with hyper lora on non-LCM! At least, for stylized/toon styles. I was not testing with photoreal.

@Vivipeg Not sure if any of that is pertinent to your use case lol I've not used SD for anything but image generation so far.

@Vivipeg could you please list top 3 checkpoints for that please? for the animatediff v3 at 8 steps dpmpp 2m

@tigerart Where do they say that they recommend 8?

I found the DPM 2M++ Turbo (from ReForge ) the best, but Eurler A , DPM 2sa and DDIM ,DDPM work too, Schedulers, mostly Simple,Normal,SGMUniform,Align your steps,Beta,DDIM,Cosine,

thank you so much , i was trying hard to find a non burned sampler-scheduler combo without good results. Now i could make it work 0.55-0.9 is the range (depending on steps). I now added lcm lora (it fixes some errors in the image and also makes better contrast) the perfect kombo ist HyperLora 0.65 + LCM Lora 0.55 look in the 1step gallery for my best image so far. BTW the reason i experiment is the goal is to run Stable diffusion on CPU (i use Re-Forge for that installed with 1 Click Tool "Stability Matrix") so far i got improved time coparted to LCM only. for 512x768 i could achied 21-24sec, for highresfix 688x1032 its 79sec (but great quality) for CPU thats a gamechanger. If i lower the Res to 614x920 i can achieve 60sec for hi-res Image.
