Cybernetic Dreams

This model is probably the most technically advanced model I’ve created.

I merged two models:

My nightmare model – the base SD1.5, and a pool of 57 of the best and most varied models from my collection. From this pool I sampled 4000 passes merging a random model from the pool to the base, sampling 5% of parameters with DARE-TIES each pass with a 90% merge ratio. This model is really creative, but the outputs are muddy (since that is where most of the real variance between types of models lives).

My cybernetic model – a handcrafted merge that I have been using as a base for sci-fi 2d. I weighted this more towards the out blocks. I believe the ratio was [.8, .5, .2].

A custom built CLIP – from base v1.5, I DARE-TIES merged clips from four models that had a variety of domain knowledge and training. I hadn’t heard of anyone doing this before, but it worked really well; as it should, since the base SD1.5 was trained on a fixed CLIP.

The result, I don’t know what to say except I’m a bit blown away. Try it, I’m curious to know it’s limits. As always, hearts / 5-stars are a great way to show your appreciation; and any images posted will be used to DPO this model in the future.
