Proteus V0.3 has been advanced with an additional 200,000 anime-related images, further refined by a selection of 15,000 aesthetically pleasing images, enhancing its lighting effects significantly. This upgrade preserves its understanding of prompts and maintains its photorealistic and stylistic capabilities without suffering from catastrophic forgetting.
Proteus
Proteus serves as a sophisticated enhancement over OpenDalleV1.1, leveraging its core functionalities to deliver superior outcomes. Key areas of advancement include heightened responsiveness to prompts and augmented creative capacities. To achieve this, it was fine-tuned using approximately 220,000 GPTV captioned images from copyright-free stock images (with some anime included), which were then normalized. Additionally, DPO (Direct Preference Optimization) was employed through a collection of 10,000 carefully selected high-quality, AI-generated image pairs.
In pursuit of optimal performance, numerous LORA (Low-Rank Adaptation) models are trained independently before being selectively incorporated into the principal model via dynamic application methods. These techniques involve targeting particular segments within the model while avoiding interference with other areas during the learning phase. Consequently, Proteus exhibits marked improvements in portraying intricate facial characteristics and lifelike skin textures, all while sustaining commendable proficiency across various aesthetic domains, notably surrealism, anime, and cartoon-style visualizations.

pipe.scheduler = KDPM2AncestralDiscreteScheduler.from_config(pipe.scheduler.config)
pipe.to('cuda')
# Define prompts and generate image
prompt = "black fluffy gorgeous dangerous cat animal creature, large orange eyes, big fluffy ears, piercing gaze, full moon, dark ambiance, best quality, extremely detailed"
negative_prompt = "nsfw, bad quality, bad anatomy, worst quality, low quality, low resolutions, extra fingers, blur, blurry, ugly, wrongs proportions, watermark, image artifacts, lowres, ugly, jpeg artifacts, deformed, noisy image"
image = pipe(
