LimestoneYen is yet another anagram. Anagrams are indeed fun.This model is essentially a must-have tool for people like me who have not-so-powerful computers at their disposal.Versions 1 and 2Recommend using LCM samplers, though I believe it might work with other samplers to varying success. Although no VAE was baked into this model, no VAEs are required (though I recommend the XL_VAE_C_F2 model if you want vibrant colors), neither do you need LCM/Hyper LoRAs; simply set the CFG to 1-2, the steps to 8-12, and you're good to go.Version 3This reworked model comes with a VAE baked into it, so now we have vibrant colors. Still testing it out with my LoRAs to see if anything breaks, but so far everything is looking good.Version 4Tried baking in an even more vibrant VAE than on version 3, and I tried to finetune a few things to see what stuck and trained with a pruned dataset. Seems to have paid off.

This is an experimental update to ver. 1.0 and the previous iteration of ver. 2.0; the previous 2.0 had terrible quality beyond closeup shots, highly reminiscent of my old LCM models, thus I made some adjustments to rectify that.This is still a Hyper P model, so you only need 4-8 steps at CFG 1-2 for good results.If you want colors to be more vibrant, I recommend XL_VAE_C_F2 to be used with it. I could just as well bake it into this model, or make a ver. 2.5 with it, but the uploading process on Civitai is torture enough. F1 also works well, but it can be super saturated.
