a LoRA model based off Cacao from the Nekopara anime adaptation
6.1 MODEL RELEASE DATE: Never? (By me atleast)
Whoever would like to create Cacao 6.1 is happy to do so, full permission granted. Just make sure to ping me so I can see the full product myself :3
Here is the link for the zip file as I've abandoned this LoRA and LoRA creation in general:

Very late on this but I thought I give updates on the why:
When I was making 4.0 Google Colab was free to use with Stable Diffusion, 4.0 became a version that is usable for the most case but only for creating Cacao, so there wasn't many variety, and generating those were painfully hard.
6.1 consisted of 287 images, literally every scene where Cacao appeared, or was in a different outfit got a screenshot, still image. I literally rewatched the entire Nekopara anime countless of times
Since Google Colab became a paid subscription I decided to give one try with the free one, it took hours and then obviously the gen stopped.
With years passing by I lost motivation, so much so that I eventually deleted the zipfile of Cacao 6.1 LoRA and altough it might be available somewhere in bits, I would likely have to start all over again with prompts (but If I were to find it I promise I upload it as a zip file for anyone who knows how to create LoRAs correctly, as I was looking for tutorials even while making 4.0 so I was happy that so many people like it despite being under or overtrained.
For me to create 6.1 would recquire to either start over or have the patience and mindset to go through with this which honestly I don't
Last but not least, the model was suppose to be an SD2.5, and I don't know how relevant it is to use SD2.5 nowadays with XL, 3.5 being a thing.
Here's what wouldve been new in version v6.1
- Trained on 237 images instead of the previous 81
- Extreme focus on generating high-quality images
- Every outfit from the Nekopara anime is now suitable
- Every pose that Cacao had in the anime now trained in the LoRA
- Better prompting, focus on facial expression, variety enhancements
- 768x768 picture training was used instead of 512x512
- better focus on backgrounds
- Environments are now a key factor (meaning: objects, wind, indoors, outdoors working better)
- Fixed and minimized overtrained and undertrained images
- Captured the Nekopara art-style via training the Lora
- It is both trained on the AnyLora and AnythingElse V4 checkpoint models
additional information, generation guide will replace this textbox on release, this is just a tease on what to expect. Keep calm :3

Hmm, i think you need to rename this model itself. It comes up as "my_model" (as its event in your examples as well).
Fixed it, should be good
Future information about this LoRA (edit v2):
After starting work on 4.3 I realised I will need more images cause so far I have around 135 that is suitable for all fours, cat tail, kimono, cat hat, no cat hat, fish pajamas, striped pajamas but not the tank top or pink dress or anything bathtub related like in the original 4.0 so... I might go for either 150 or 200 images at the end making it a bigger model and eventually following the double method making it rather a 6.0 version. This sounds already draining because of the captioning so I might need more work on this version since I am still collecting images.
Apart from the outfits Cacao works as a 360° model now pretty much, so it is suitable for jumping, running, walking, yawning, eating and even bathing from every angles with scared, angry, happy, confused faces. Stay tuned ._. I guess
Also I will most likely train it on AnythingV3 now instead of AnyLORA
