pony-diffusion-v4

pony-diffusion-v4 - "same, but different" edition

pony-diffusion is a latent text-to-image diffusion model that has been conditioned on high-quality pony, furry and other non photorealistic images through fine-tuning.

WARNING: This model is capable of producing NSFW content so it's recommended to use 'safe' tag in prompt in combination with negative prompt for image features you may want to suppress (i.e. nudity).

Despite its name, this model is capable of producing wide range of furry and cartoon images as side effect of improving data diversity (with exception of anime stlyes, for which Waifu Diffusion is much stronger choice).

Special thanks to Waifu-Diffusion for providing finetuning expertise and advising through the process, without their help this project would not exist.

Model Description

The model originally used for fine-tuning is Stable Diffusion V1-5, which is a latent image diffusion model trained on LAION2B-en.

This particular checkpoint has been fine-tuned with a learning rate of 5.0e-6 for 15 epochs on approximately 3M pony, furry and other cartoon text-image pairs (using metadata from derpibooru, e621 and danbooru).

Improvements over previous models

Better disentanglement of tag based prompts

Aka "using Hidden States of CLIP’s Penultimate Layer", a technique adopted by SD2 which should lead to generally higher quality and more tag driven outputs.

Compared to pony-diffusion-v3 using penultimate CLIP is generally the best choice but trying both CLIP skip of 1 and 2 is still recommended.

Improved data quality labeling

We reccomend adding 'derpibooru_p_95' to prompt and 'derpibooru_p_low' to negative prompt to improve quality of generated pony images.
