I’m glad to announce we’ve released a new version of our SDXL 1.0 based model Mann-E Dreams. The version 0.0.5, is the newest release and had changes (in comparison to the older one). These are some changes worth noting:

  • Now it can generate both artistic and realistic images (although it still may work not-so-fine in some styles)
  • It is now more liberated and capable of doing more NSFW artwork (since we intended this version to be self-hosted, we had no obstacles in making it as free as possible in any sense of the word free).
  • Now it supports a wider range of Schedulers (Euler, Euler a are also supported but not as good as DPM++ SDE Karras, honestly).
  • We’ve used a big set of images from midjourney generated images in training process (and yes, it unfortunately inherits bad behavior of MJ as well).
  • Now you can generate images up to 1280x1280 pixels! Although I personally recommend these numbers:
    • HD Square: 1024x1024
    • 16:9 : 720x1280

These were what we’ve been working on, and now…

Notes

  • All LoRA’s working with SDXL 1.0 are working fine with this model.
  • ControlNet and img2img pipelines were just fine.
  • Inpainting/Outpainting hasn’t been tested, but since img2img was fine, we may assume those are fine as well. But I’d be glad to know if there’s a problem with them.
  • In version 0.0.4, a lot of people reported “grey film” or “white artifact” effect on the pictures, in this version, those are gone!
  • The model has been tested in A1111, so if you test it in another UI, please report your feedback so we’ll be working on it.

Final thoughts

First, I made an announcement on X as well. I’d be happy if you consider following me there. Second, I know the new hot topic of every AI image generation platform is FLUX, but our intention was to make it easy to self-host with limited resources.

This model was basically our masterpiece in distillation and making SDXL 1.0 much faster than usual and make it run on a single 3080 as well!

We’re also open to every opinion about the model 🤗
