ModelsLab/Ether Blu Mix - Ether Blu Mix 3.2

* Version 3.2 Update:

Ether Blu Mix 3 is the stylish evolution of the Blu mix. It leans further into its stylish roots while retaining some of the quirks of the older versions (the spicy parts 🌶️).

Counterfeit is upgraded to Version 3 with AyoniMix being downgraded back to Version 5, as I prefer its color and tone. Weights were further adjusted to help alleviate the heavy bias 3.1 had towards females/humans/portraits. Though this model is aimed at creating character portraits, 3.1 felt too restrictive in its generations and, personally, less fun to use.

Overall, 3.2 dialed back the stylish, slightly abstract look in favor of more flexibility.

If you prefer the more realistic look of the previous versions, please add "realistic" to the start of your prompts or try Ether Real Mix linked above.

📘 Model Merging Info - 3.2

I have no training or real knowledge of machine learning. I merged the model using the information provided on WarriorMama777's AOM model page. I very arbitrarily used the UBM weights given to merge and create AOM3 and its derivatives and modified the values with trial and error until I was visually happy with it.

I utilized the SuperMerger extension for AUTO1111 by hako-mikan.
