NoobAI XL V-Pred 0.6

Model Introduction

This image generation model, based on Laxhar/noobai-XL_v1.0, leverages full Danbooru and e621 datasets with native tags and natural language captioning.

Implemented as a v-prediction model (distinct from eps-prediction), it requires specific parameter configurations - detailed in following sections.

Special thanks to my teammate euge for the coding work, and we're grateful for the technical support from many helpful community members.

⚠️ IMPORTANT NOTICE ⚠️

THIS MODEL WORKS DIFFERENT FROM EPS MODELS!

PLEASE READ THE GUIDE CAREFULLY!

Model Details

How to Use the Model.

Method I: reForge

(If you haven't installed reForge) Install reForge by following the instructions in the repository;
Launch WebUI and use the model as usual!

Method II: ComfyUI

SAMLPLE with NODES

comfy_ui_workflow_sample

Method III: WebUI

Note that dev branch is not stable and may contain bugs.

(If you haven't installed WebUI) Install WebUI by following the instructions in the repository. For simp
Switch to dev branch:

git switch dev

Pull latest updates:

git pull

Launch WebUI and use the model as usual!

Method IV: Diffusers

import torch
from diffusers import StableDiffusionXLPipeline
from diffusers import EulerDiscreteScheduler

ckpt_path = "/path/to/model.safetensors"
pipe = StableDiffusionXLPipeline.from_single_file(
    ckpt_path,
    use_safetensors=True,
    torch_dtype=torch.float16,
)
scheduler_args = {"prediction_type": "v_prediction", "rescale_betas_zero_snr": True}
pipe.scheduler = EulerDiscreteScheduler.from_config(pipe.scheduler.config, **scheduler_args)
pipe.enable_xformers_memory_efficient_attention()
pipe = pipe.to("cuda")

prompt = """masterpiece, best quality,artist:john_kafka,artist:nixeu,artist:quasarcake, chromatic aberration, film grain, horror \(theme\), limited palette, x-shaped pupils, high contrast, color contrast, cold colors, arlecchino \(genshin impact\), black theme,  gritty, graphite \(medium\)"""
negative_prompt = "nsfw, worst quality, old, early, low quality, lowres, signature, username, logo, bad hands, mutated hands, mammal, anthro, furry, ambiguous form, feral, semi-anthro"

image = pipe(
    prompt=prompt,
    negative_prompt=negative_prompt,
    width=832,
    height=1216,
    num_inference_steps=28,
    guidance_scale=5,
    generator=torch.Generator().manual_seed(42),
).images[0]

image.save("output.png")

Note: Please make sure Git is installed and environment is properly configured on your machine.

Usage Guidelines

Caption

<1girl/1boy/1other/...>, <character>, <series>, <artists>, <special tags>, <general tags>, <other tags>

Quality Tags

For quality tags, we evaluated image popularity through the following process:

Data normalization based on various sources and ratings.
Application of time-based decay coefficients according to date recency.
Ranking of images within the entire dataset based on this processing.

Our ultimate goal is to ensure that quality tags effectively track user preferences in recent years.

Percentile Range	Quality Tags
> 95th	masterpiece
> 85th, <= 95th	best quality
> 60th, <= 85th	good quality
> 30th, <= 60th	normal quality
<= 30th	worst quality

Aesthetic Tags

Tag	Description
very awa	Top 5% of images in terms of aesthetic score by waifu-scorer
worst aesthetic	All the bottom 5% of images in terms of aesthetic score by waifu-scorer and aesthetic-shadow-v2
...	...

Date Tags

There are two types of date tags: year tags and period tags. For year tags, use year xxxx format, i.e., year 2021. For period tags, please refer to the following table:

Year Range	Period tag
2005-2010	old
2011-2014	early
2014-2017	mid
2018-2020	recent
2021-2024	newest
