LimestoneYen is yet another anagram. Anagrams are indeed fun.

This model is essentially a must-have tool for people like me who have not-so-powerful computers at their disposal.

Versions 1 and 2

Recommend using LCM samplers, though I believe it might work with other samplers to varying success. Although no VAE was baked into this model, no VAEs are required (though I recommend the XL_VAE_C_F2 model if you want vibrant colors), neither do you need LCM/Hyper LoRAs; simply set the CFG to 1-2, the steps to 8-12, and you're good to go.

Version 3

This reworked model comes with a VAE baked into it, so now we have vibrant colors. Still testing it out with my LoRAs to see if anything breaks, but so far everything is looking good.

Version 4

Tried baking in an even more vibrant VAE than on version 3, and I tried to finetune a few things to see what stuck and trained with a pruned dataset. Seems to have paid off.
