This one’s a personal favorite. It’s finally getting some attention after being behind the scenes for a while. You’ll notice it’s built on the classic Pony Diffusion style, but it’s tweaked for a softer, more artistic feel. The result? A semi-realistic look that gives you tons of flexibility in your art without losing the details you want.
If CyberRealistic Pony had a dreamy, laid-back sibling, this would be it. It’s a little more stylized, easier to play with, and leaves plenty of room for your own take.
Why Use It?
Gives you way more creative freedom than strict realism.
Perfect for stylized portraits, dramatic lighting, and letting your imagination run wild.
Awesome for trying out LoRAs or tossing in experimental ideas without getting bogged down in too much realism.

Description
CyberRealistic Pony Semi-Realistic V4.5 is a minor refinement of V4.0, focused on subtle tuning rather than a major overhaul.
V4.0 itself was already a strong and well-balanced release, and remains an excellent checkpoint.
Compared to V4.0, this version produces slightly cleaner outputs with a small step away from realism. The goal was never to “fix” or replace V4.0, but to offer an alternative flavor for users who prefer a more polished, semi-realistic look in certain scenarios.
V4.5 is best seen as a preference-based update: some scenes and styles benefit from the cleaner rendering, while others may still look better with the more realistic character of V4.0.

Hi! Will there be 5.0?

I have uploaded it on https://whop.com/cyberdelia-ai-lab/the-tinkerer/
But you can also use Euler A (it's just a enhancement of this)
@Cyberdelia ok, thanks

Correct, it also cures cancer, solves world hunger, and fixes crooked politicians. Still working on the last one though.
One of my favorites! I would be lost without this one. It makes awesome creations. A different style of beautiful illustrations!
