    Description

    V12.5 reins things in—quite literally. V12 was a bold leap with intense natural tones and punch, but honestly? It overshot what I personally wanted. While some users appreciated the vibrant direction, I felt it strayed too far.

    So, V12.5 pulls it back to a more balanced place—figuratively nestled between V11’s restraint and V12’s flair. You still get the realism and improvements, but with more subtlety and control. Less turbo, more pony.

    You should take a look at some of my example prompts. I've been playing around with the settings a bit, and sometimes tweaking them gives better results. I haven’t found a golden rule yet, so it’s still a matter of experimenting.

    These models give quite good statistical results:

    https://huggingface.co/Anzhc/Anzhcs_YOLOs/tree/main

    They work both in bbox and in segm.

    For XL detailing, the Anzhc Face seg 640 v2 y8n (Anzhc Face seg 640 v3 y11n) models works statistically well. It detects faces quite confidently even from partially side angles and at tilts.

    The result of detecting medium and large objects can often be improved by connecting the sam_vit_h_4b8939 model to the detailer node in the CUI.

    @H4rryM3ss influences how the clip model weighs the prompt vs being creative. If you place it between the loader and your prompt, it will diminish the strictness of the checkpoint, letting your prompt come through more. Same with lora, the lora will attain a more weighted output in the conditioning

    Does anyone else notice an increase in missing fingers with 12.5? I'm coming from 10 and they seem much more common. To make matters worse, while I can usually use negative prompts to fix things on 10, they only seem to make the issue worse on 12.5.

    I was hoping for a nice lil' upgrade when I realized I was a few version behind, but it just seems harder to work with for very little (if any) benefit. Am I missing something? I only use it for NSFW generations, is it perhaps better for SFW instead?

    JDHPics1212Jul 4, 2025· 2 reactions

    @greytonbryer280 This how the Helper described the changes:

    The model has shifted to a more semantic, context-aware style, less focused on raw tag spam.

    Score tags still work, but they should be cleaner and more intentional.

    Emotions and actions often work better as sentence-like phrases, and over-weighting (e.g., :1.9) can sometimes make things muddy or cause "mushed" anatomy.

    The new model is also more sensitive to pose and detail conflicts, so we have to smooth that out.

    When generating images on my own computer, the most significant differences I've seen between v10, and those after it, is in colour temperature, and light intensity. v10 gave things a nice warm hue, which worked well for warm indoor lighting, and natural summer lighting. But given how high the colour temperature, and bright the lighting has been since then, it feels like they would only be proper when using winter natural lighting, or indoor lighting with a very high colour temp, and about a dozen lights shining on the subject.

    Considering as how this is largely a model for use in porn image generation, I would imagine most would prefer warmer hues in the images they make, as well as a reduction in lighting intensity.

    StagnationJul 7, 2025

    "Considering as how this is largely a model for use in porn image generation" is a huge assumption. I mean, true, but still.

    AImodels4me2useJul 6, 2025· 1 reaction

    If you look back at older comments, you'll see v12 was widely viewed as having a colour tone that was seen as much too cold, and intense. This resulted in images that were too bright, and leaned more into white, and blue tones, while people wanted warmer colours. v12.5 dialed that back some, but it is still brighter, and colder than say v10.

    CyberRealistic Pony v12.5

    text_model.encoder.layers.11.self_attn.k_proj.weight has 589824 NaN values

    https://imgur.com/a/xY8ExKx

    I'm trying to use the baked in Encoder1 manually so that I can use longer prompts. Encoder2 works just fine, but Encoder1 just keeps generating NaN-filled tensors. I believe it's because of the error above. Does anybody have any tips for me? Maybe I'm being naive and I'm not allowed to actually use an encoder at a checkpoint for (reason i do not yet understand)?

    Simply using the Encoder1 via:

    simple_ids = torch.tensor([[49406, 1234, 49407]], device='cuda:0')
    output = text_encoder(simple_ids)

    Also generates a tensor filled with NaN's.

    I'd also appreciate insight from the author (if you have a few minutes) to share what is/might be causing this issue.

    Just fyi: Using this checkpoint out of the box from the single file works really well. I'm trying to use the Encoder1 manually just to learn more about how to enable larger prompts. I'm fully aware ComfyUI has solved this problem already. This question/issue i'm bringing up is more for my own self-learning more than anything.

    To anyone that's read this far, I hope your day has been amazing so far. Thank you for reading.

    klaabuJul 9, 2025· 1 reaction

    @v12h CyberRealistic Pony v12.5 has a corrupted or improperly merged Encoder1 (text_encoder/model1).

    Encoder2 is intact, which is why your generations still work — because SDXL usually defaults to Encoder2 at inference.

    This occurs when someone merges a model with an incorrect FP16/FP32 format or tries to manually inject a CLIP encoder

    v12hJul 9, 2025


    @klaabu

    > because SDXL usually defaults to Encoder2 at inference.

    wow! i never knew this. i'm trying to enable longer prompts than 77 tokens. i've been recommended by AI to concat the prompt_embeddings of encoder1 and encoder2. But i'll tinker around with using values strictly from encoder2. This was extremely helpful and let's me have new alternatives to what I've been bashing my head against for the last few days.

    davontaxavy109 Hey, just a heads-up - the word 'Negros' is outdated and considered offensive. It's better to say 'Black people' if you're talking about appearance. Just want to keep things respectful and clear.

    squidmanJul 18, 2025

    davontaxavy109 Although both terms are a bit dated, the word you want is "Negroid." This was the scientific term used by anthropologists in the past. "Negro" was always slang, in English at least, and has since become offensive due to the history of who was using this slang term.

    AImodels4me2useJul 20, 2025

    It should also be noted that where you position prompts can have an impact. For instance, if the first thing you put in when defining a girl was "Latina" it seems to do a better job of generating a Latina girl, than if you placed it further into your description.

    Also I find plain language descriptions don't work too well, it's better to describe things in short sort of machine like ways. Then when defining a specific thing, like say their hair, it's best to do it all in one prompt, rather than split it across multiple prompts. Finally, you can really only give your main character extensive descriptions, it gets pretty confused if you try to define anyone else you may have if you tried to go beyond a simple one prompt description for them, and even then could still end up swapping features around.

    AImodels4me2useJul 20, 2025

    One other thing is that as it if you wanted it to generate an image of a darker skin girl, having sex with a lighter skin guy, often enough it will give you the reverse. I'd guess this is as it was trained with more images of a white girl, having sex with black guys, than the other way around.

    HINT: try running it without all the score tags and extra tags like high quality, etc.

    I don't know why I never tried it, I saw everybody elsesprompts and copied it. But you have far better images and prompt control that way.

    AImodels4me2useJul 20, 2025· 2 reactions

    Not necessarily.

    One thing is that you ideally want to use as few prompts as possible, the more you use, the more likely it is it could get confused, and not give you the results you want. Meaning just adding a bunch of extra prompting, because you saw others use them, may only make things worse. Then you should only prompt, the things you want in your image. If you had put in a prompt for detailed hands, but had a solo character with her hands behind her head, because you had specifically told it there should be detailed hands in the image, it may just fail to put her hands behind her head, or add the hands of someone else coming in from the sides. Also sometimes you may want to use detail related prompts, to try to reduce negative aspects of the model, and/or LoRA you're using.

    Telling it you want their eyes to be highly detailed, especially if stated in the descriptive prompt for the eyes of your character does usually give a clear improvement in the results, at least if it was a close up of their face. Although if the face was not close up, then it may not make much, if any noticeable difference. Meaning you need to know when to use things, to get the results you want.
