Description
PlantWhyx — Model Stock Merge
Model Overview
This version more tuned than v0.9, more detailed.
A community merge of three anime / illustration checkpoints from the Plant Milk 🌿 Model Suite by Ocean3:
| Variant | Series | Version |
|---|---|---|
| Walnut | ymk | 3.0.0 |
| Hemp II | ldbr | 4.1.1 |
| Flax | ldbr | 3.0.0 |
All three are Illustrious-based (SDXL architecture) checkpoints, so they are fully architecture-compatible and were merged directly without any conversion step. The result is a balanced blend that keeps the "flavor" of every source model.
Model Introduction
This checkpoint combines the three community-favorite variants of the Plant Milk suite into a single model. It targets anime / illustration generation and is intended as a general-purpose Illustrious anime base.
Merge Method (Creation)
Created by merging, not training. Two chained Model Stock merges were performed (Model Stock auto-selects the blend weight that keeps the result closest — by cosine similarity — to both inputs, which yields a stable, non-"burnt" blend of finetunes sharing a common lineage):
Walnut+Hemp II→ intermediate checkpoint- intermediate +
Flax→ PlantWhyx (checkpoint:PlantWhyx.safetensors)
Note: text-encoder (CLIP) tensors of a few layers fall back to source model A during per-tensor NaN/Inf validation (documented merge-engine safety behavior). The UNet — which drives image generation — is fully merged and unaffected.
Inference
Recommended settings (inherited from the source suite):
- Sampler: Euler or Euler a (HeunPP2 / Restart also work)
- CFG scale: ~3 (range 3–6)
- Steps: ~28
- Resolution: 1024×1024 (SDXL native)
Example (Automatic1111 / Forge / ComfyUI):
prompt: a girl with long hair, flower field, soft lighting
negative prompt: lowres, bad , worst quality
Steps: 28, Sampler: Euler a, CFG: 3, Size: 1024x1024
Model Effects
Blends the stylistic strengths of Walnut, Hemp II and Flax. Well suited for anime / illustration characters and scenes; behaves like a standard Illustrious anime base.
