# SoteDiffusion Wuerstchen3

Anime finetune of Würstchen V3.  
Currently is in early state in training.  
No commercial use thanks to StabilityAI.  

# Release Notes

Did major cleanup on the dataset in this release.  
Changed the training parameters and started from a fresh state.  
Switch to FairAI license. (Still no commercial use.)

# Code Example

```shell
pip install diffusers
```

```python
import torch
from diffusers import StableCascadeCombinedPipeline

device = "cuda"
dtype = torch.bfloat16
model = "Disty0/sotediffusion-wuerstchen3-alpha1-decoder"

pipe = StableCascadeCombinedPipeline.from_pretrained(model, torch_dtype=dtype)

# send everything to the gpu:
pipe = pipe.to(device, dtype=dtype)
pipe.prior_pipe = pipe.prior_pipe.to(device, dtype=dtype)

# or enable model offload to save vram:
# pipe.enable_model_cpu_offload()



prompt = "1girl, solo, cowboy shot, straight hair, looking at viewer, hoodie, indoors, slight smile, casual, furniture, doorway, very aesthetic, best quality, newest,"
negative_prompt = "very displeasing, worst quality, oldest, monochrome, sketch, realistic,"

output = pipe(
    width=1024,
    height=1536,
    prompt=prompt,
    negative_prompt=negative_prompt,
    decoder_guidance_scale=1.0,
    prior_guidance_scale=8.0,
    prior_num_inference_steps=40,
    output_type="pil",

## Limitations and Bias

### Bias

- This model is intended for anime illustrations.  
  Realistic capabilites are not tested at all.  

### Limitations

- Can fall back to realistic.  
  Add "realistic" tag to the negatives when this happens.  
- Far shot eyes can be bad.  
- Anatomy and hands can be bad.  
- Still in active training.

SoteDiffusion models falls under [Fair AI Public License 1.0-SD](https://freedevproject.org/faipl-1.0-sd/) license, which is compatible with Stable Diffusion models’ license. Key points:

1. **Modification Sharing:** If you modify SoteDiffusion models, you must share both your changes and the original license.
2. **Source Code Accessibility:** If your modified version is network-accessible, provide a way (like a download link) for others to get the source code. This applies to derived models too.
3. **Distribution Terms:** Any distribution must be under this license or another with similar rules.
4. **Compliance:** Non-compliance must be fixed within 30 days to avoid license termination, emphasizing transparency and adherence to open-source values.
