Anime From HaDeS XL Lightning
This checkpoint is a merge of Anime from HaDeS XL v1.0 and the 8-steps release of SDXL Lightning (ByteDance/SDXL-Lightning · Hugging Face).
The idea was obviously to release a version of Anime from HaDeS XL that everyone could use, even users with less powerful hardware. But in practice, maintaining a dual balance between an 8-step checkpoint and a normal SDXL 1.0 checkpoint without losing quality has not been an easy task.
Recommended Settings for the Lightning Version:
Width/Height: 1024x1408
Sampler: DPM++ 3M SDE
Steps: 8-10
CFG: 1-4
VAE: Already baked in.
Negative Prompt: No negative prompt needed, add afterwards the things you don´t want to see in the image.
HiRes: 4x_NMKD-Siax_200k with 5 Steps and 0.15 Denoise + Upscale: 2
