Maintaining a stable diffusion model is very resource-burning. Please consider supporting me via <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://ko-fi.com/kayfahaarukku">Ko-fi</a>.KayWaii will ALWAYS BE FREE.Welcome to KayWaii, an anime-oriented model. This model is very capable of generating anime girls with thick line art.The model uses similar merging methods used to merge AingDiffusion, a powerful anime model, also merged by me.<h2 id="guide-to-generate-good-images-with-this-model">Guide to generating good images with this model</h2><ul><li>Use the VAE I included with the model.

I made constant efforts to improve the model whenever possible and wanted to share the improvements as quickly as possible.Q: I can't generate good images with your model.A: The first thing to remember is that every little change matters in the world of Stable Diffusion. Try adjusting your prompt, using different sampling methods, adding or reducing sampling steps, or adjusting the CFG scale.Q: What's the difference between AingDiffusion and KayWaii?A: The difference between AingDiffusion and KayWaii lies in their goals and styles. AingDiffusion aims to create an anime-style output with a touch of pastel aesthetics, as I appreciate how pastel art is colored. Back then, the art style of the pastel model available didn't suit my preferences. On the other hand, KayWaii was initially intended to generate cute girls.Here's a comparison:<img src="https://image.civitai.com/xG1nkqKTMzGDvpLrqFT7WA/fedd819e-4eb9-40c8-8bf9-8548e9e3bdf3/width=525/fedd819e-4eb9-40c8-8bf9-8548e9e3bdf3.jpeg" />Keep experimenting and have fun with the models! 😄

New merging approach. I finally did it after approximately 10 failed attempts and some development stagnation. ===Personal note:I got a new SSD and just moved my entire workflow from HDD to SSD. There's only one thing I want to say: IT'S FREAKING FAST! I literally had to wait for 10-15 minutes to perform a one-time merge on HDD, but now it's like FREAKING 90 SECONDS!?!? Having the new SSD also makes me daring enough to try a new merging approach.
