Merge between Smooth Cuts, Hassaku XL (Hentai), and Authaku Mix.

Upcoming v0.4

Added a whole slew of models. Still have yet to merge with Loras. I am looking for Loras that blend well with both the set goal of v0.5 and the feel of the current model. Looking forward, there is much to do.

Rebranding? Maybe. Needs a better model name as it has branched from some models that used to be a pivotal piece of the merge, such as Smooth Cuts, which is no longer as apparent in the merge as it had been under v1.

v0.3

Added Run七八造 PonyXL MIX

This might have led the model to work less well with higher weights. I had issues generating St. Louis while having the detailer Lora weight at 2. This amount of weight is quite a bit, so it shouldn't be a source of too much worry for the average user but one that should be noted. Might consider merging the model with a few loras in the next version, depending on how much better I learn Super Merger.

NOTE: Some of the prompts were borrowed from MIAOKA because MIAOKA does cool things. I like cool things. You should check out MIAOKA's PVC model.

v0.2

Added Pthno2 to the merge.

Style is now heavily influenced by Pthno2, leading to an all-around brighter style. Unfortunately, it gives less off less of an anime feel. But it looks good if you prompt well, even achieving a very anime look if you use the checkpoint well!

I'll test it for a while longer, generally through other people's prompts. Doing this, I can see how well they fare on this model.

• Stability - I have yet to have any issues whatsoever

• NSFW - Given that Smooth Cuts and Pthno2 are in the merge, it is pretty solid at NSFW, being able to do many acts without much say, though some nudges for the AI are suggested

• Sharp and bright

v0.1

As a result, the model inherits their licenses and permissions. Notably the Smooth Cuts permissions. The checkpoint prohibits using the model on other generation services aside from CivitAI. It needs a lot of testing but I found the one that exhibited the most closeness to Smoothcuts was also able to perform the best NSFW-wise. Saddeningly unsurprising. This is because the purpose of this model was to keep Hassaku's style while improving its NSFW capabilities. While other prototypes were closely reminiscent of Hassaku XL (Hentai), they failed in regards to NSFW. This means that there is little merit to them as Hassaku XL (Hentai) could generate similar or even better images than them. In the case of this release, I felt some differences between Smoothcuts and the model, so I ultimately decided to share it.

• Cfg 7 and DPM++ 2M Karras or Euler A

• Authaku is part of the mix and already has a baked VAE, either way, I tested it and felt no need for a VAE

• It should perform NSFW tasks nearly as well as

• Like any Pony model, scores can be used

• You can use Hassaku and Smooth Cuts runs as a reference, though Smooth Cut runs would likely fare better than Hassaku ones

• Style quality improves when doing NSFW for some reason, like most checkpoints, idk why

Why Use Smooth Hassaku-Authaku Mix?

When comparing a few runs that were using the same seed, some differences were noticeable.

• Such as the eyes being generally better than Smooth Cuts

• Hair tones felt lighter,

• At times, generations varied greatly from Smooth Cuts (Such as Smooth Cuts deciding to do a full-body shot while Smooth Hassaku-Authaku Mix did a close-up

• A slightly more anime feel (Than Smooth Cuts, probably.)

Issue(s):

Authaku is a walking issue because it tends to be easily destabilized by weights, so is Smooth Cuts. I came to realize this during testing for another model. This issue is not so severe with other models of its like, such as Hassaku XL (Hentai). There have been times when runs are unusable on Authaku but work on Hassaku XL IHentai) and Smooth Cuts.

This troublesome instability is inherited by Smooth Hassaku-Authaku Mix.

Why the name?

Smooth Hassaku sounds nice. Authaku is the third-wheeler so I had to implement it somehow. Thus, I took inspiration from the turbulent country of Bosnia-Herezgovina and just did that, Hassaku + Authaku but adding a -. Brilliant, I know.

I'll probably try different combinations and if I learn how to do better merges, do so with Loras and stuff. I appreciate the feedback you offered, Civitai's Civitians.

I'll be uploading photos showcasing the model shortly.

Uploaded a few more and might continue to do so in the coming days.

v0.1 Notes:

• I am almost unhealthily addicted to Hassaku XL, Run, and Authaku

• Anything negative I mention here, even to my mix, is purely loving(?) criticism

• I trained it with Automatic's Checkpoint Merger, and you can too with great ease

• Including AuthakuMix was probably a mistake as it ultimately tipped the scales in favor of Hassaku, distilling any NSFW improvements

• I found it hard to maintain Hassaku's style while retaining Smooth Cuts proficiency in most NSFW fun
