Juggernaut XL v7 sits between v6 and v8 in the RunDiffusion Photo v1 generation of the Juggernaut SDXL line. Released for users who needed a refresh between the major v6 and v8 milestones.
⚠️ FP16 users: if you see black images or NaN errors in fp16 inference, use the v7-fp16-vae-fix variant instead.
