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

pip install diffusers

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",
    num_inference_steps=10

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.

License

SoteDiffusion models falls under Fair AI Public License 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.
