Socamerge Turbo XL - 1.0 (Hybrid) CRUCIAL INFORMATION: 1-3 CFG, 5-10 Steps, DPM++ SDE Karras
This model is a checkpoint merge intended to produce photorealistic images of pretty women, but it'll give nice results for all ages and genders. This is a merge of SDXL Turbo with my Socamerge Realism model, a fistful of sexy women loras, and a few of the more promising SDXL Turbo merges, specifically: Tertium, DreamShaper, and Ishtar's Gate.
Sampler: DPM++ SDE Karras or DPM++ SDE. DPM++ 2M SDE Karras, DPM++ 2S a, DPM++ 2s a Karras will work with more steps. Euler a will work (and be faster) but has much less detail. MOST OTHER SAMPLERS WILL SIMPLY NOT WORK. This is a legacy of SDXL Turbo.
Steps: 5-10 As a hybrid SDXL turbo merge, it moves away from the 2-5 steps of SDXL Turbo. This is an intentional choice, as my testing showed the increase in image quality from merges that used less Turbo and more Socamerge Realism to be worth the extra steps.
CFG: 1-3. SDXL Turbo requires MUCH lower CFG than normal SDXL models.
This model will not work with many samplers, and as an evolution of SDXL Turbo requires a different approach to steps and CFG. It is critical you follow the above guidelines or your images will be burned, distorted, or poor quality.
-Resolution Recommendations: 1024x1024, 896x1152, 1152x896
-Make sure to turn OFF Face Restoration, SDXL Turbo models actually lose image quality/definition from it
-I strongly recommend ADetailer to make the faces better: search for ADetailer in the WebUI Extensions panel or go to: https://github.com/Bing-su/adetailer
NSFW Prompting: - (Nude naked NSFW) in positive prompt = very naked people. This checkpoint merge is extremely good at anatomically correct NSFW for cis women and trans men with prompting, and with trans women and cis men with an appropriate penis Lora (which work surprisingly well with this checkpoint) - No (Nude naked NSFW) anywhere = a bit on the skimpier side for clothing. - (Nude naked NSFW) in negative prompt = more conservative clothing, can reinforce descriptions of clothes that cover-up more.
This checkpoint has a VAE baked in, so be aware of that if you do further merges (just make sure to bake a vae in as you merge). Automatic VAE selection will work just fine when you generate images with this checkpoint.
Special thanks to FrenzyX and Lykon, who have done most of the hard work stabilizing SDXL Turbo and getting it to produce acceptable anatomy and proportions at 1024x1024 and related resolutions.
Civitai Generation is turned off, due to the usage requirements of SDXL Turbo. Should this change, I will enable it.
