After half a year, I finally completed my base model, DHXL. I can say that I was the only one who put a huge amount of time, money, and effort into it. DucHaitenXL is trained from IL 0.1, meaning it's based on the SDXL architecture but with a higher image resolution (1250x1250 at 1:1). DHXL was trained on a massive dataset. From my previous experience training PONY models, I separated different styles into 49 distinct keywords, from style_0 to style_48. However, unlike PONY, these are not quality-based keywords like scores; they are just priority markers for a particular art style. You don't have to use them if you don't find them necessary. I might later write a detailed guide explaining the specific effects of each keyword, but that will be in a separate post. With 49 style activation keywords, they can be used individually or combined to create unique new styles. However, it’s best to combine only up to six styles—any more, and stability decreases.
Example: "style_12, style_9, style_22, style_8, style_24, style_37, BREAK"
Some might ask, "How is this different from LoRA?" The difference is that LoRA cannot be used with too many at once. It forces the checkpoint to follow its structure, while this method works as a mutual compromise, allowing for a shared understanding between the base model and the user-defined styles.
