<h1 id="oligarchy-i2bmj68ax">💰Oligarchy💰</h1>Version: 1.0 – Released 2025-01-20Oligarchy is my latest photorealistic Frankenstein of a merge, designed to crank out ultra-sharp, realistic images. I took my custom LoRAs (some trained from scratch on my own data) and meshed them with a carefully curated set of open-source LoRAs. The result? A model that dishes out lifelike images for portraits, street photography, scenic shots—whatever you can dream up. This model is all about capturing the absolute best of what I think a photoreal merge should have.<h3 id="under-the-hood-eexf6vb6r">Under the Hood</h3><ul><li>Base Model: Flux Dev (foundation)</li><li>LoRA Stack: 50 LoRAs total<ul><li>15 hand-trained by yours truly</li><li>35 borrowed from open-source, because sharing is caring</li></ul></li><li>Resolution Sweet Spot: 840×1232 (though it can stretch beyond that if you have the juice)</li></ul><h3 id="merge-approach-vtkawnl1o">Merge Approach</h3><ol><li>Core Merge: Flux Dev + my personal LoRAs, especially the ones focused on photoreal textures (skin, fabric, hair, lighting).</li><li>Open-Source Goodies: Mixed in specialized environment and detail-focused LoRAs for max immersion.</li><li>Final Tuning: Balanced everything so you won’t get weird color shifts or style conflicts.</li></ol><h3 id="highlights-kpactrnxe">Highlights</h3><ul><li>Hyper-Real: Crisp details on faces, backgrounds, and everything in between.</li><li>Stability: Fewer random artifacts, more consistent composition.</li><li>Prompt Flexibility: Works for moody portraits, bright landscape shots, or even close-up product renders.</li><li>Plays Nice with Upscaling: Compatible with your favorite upscalers and in-painting workflows.</li></ul><h3 id="shout-outs-l843ia2s5">Shout-Outs</h3><ul><li>Flux Dev Creators: Couldn’t do this without that awesome base.</li><li>LoRA Contributors: Thank you for your open-source wizardry.</li><li>Testers &amp; Supporters: You know who you are—your feedback is gold.</li></ul><h3 id="getting-started-fp3aajpx2">Getting Started</h3><ol><li>Grab the Model: Throw <code>Oligarchy.gguf</code> (or <code>.safetensors</code>) into your comfy-ui <code>models/unet</code> folder.</li><li>Prompt Tips:<ul><li>Example prompt:<pre><code>A cinematic portrait of [subject], ultra-detailed, photoreal, shot on 50mm lens</code></pre></li><li>Tweak your weights or add style LoRAs to get the exact look you want.</li></ul></li><li>Sampler/schedulers: Euler/simple or uni_pc_bh2/beta are my personal go-tos, but experiment away.</li></ol><h3 id="version-notes-ssmgayajg">Version Notes</h3><ul><li>v1.0 (2025-01-20):<ul><li>Initial public release.</li><li>Thorough testing to ensure stable color, minimal artifacts, and that “so real you can feel it” vibe.</li></ul></li></ul><hr />Struggling with flux prompts? <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://chatgpt.com/g/g-oODh6sLdt-flux-prompt-crafter-by-bobsblazed">try my flux prompt craft GPT bot</a>Do you use the GGUF?
