Genuine Illustrious from HaDeS

Genuine Illustrious from HaDeS v0.1 is an experimental alpha model based on the original Illustrious v0.1, created to stay true to its foundations while improving overall compatibility and long-term flexibility. At this point, Illustrious exists in so many heavily fine-tuned variants that a base version focused on restoring and expanding cross-compatibility has become necessary.

This checkpoint is designed to work with the vast majority of existing Illustrious LoRAs and to serve as a foundation for training new ones. It is a true base model that will evolve over time, gradually expanding its dataset with more characters, poses, and general knowledge through future updates.

Genuine Illustrious from HaDeS v0.1 is compatible with almost all common samplers, including Euler, Euler a, DPM++ 2M, DPM++ 2M SDE, DPM++ 3M SDE, UniPC, Res Multistep, Heun, DPM ++ SDE and similar variants, making it flexible across different workflows and setups. The optimal number of steps depends on the sampler used, and a CFG value of 5 is recommended as a general baseline.

⚠️ Important: This is an alpha release, fully experimental and not stable. It contains many known and unknown issues and should only be used for testing, research, and experimental purposes. It is not recommended for production use.
