NightVision XL
---

model\_id: NightVision\_XL

This is NightVision XL, a lightly trained base SDXL model that is then further refined with community LORAs to get it to where it is now. NightVision XL has been refined and biased to produce touched-up photorealistic portrait output that is ready-stylized for Social media posting! NightVision XL has nice coherency and is avoiding some of the weird body issues and biases that are starting to plague some of the other photorealistic models. Further, NightVision XL produces rich deep blacks and great evening/night time scenes. It can also produce ridiculously bright output as well! NightVision XL is capable of both SFW and NSFW output. As with all of my other models, tools and embeddings, NightVision XL is easy to use, preferring simple prompts and letting the model do the heavy lifting for scene building. NOTE - This version includes a baked VAE, no need to download or use the "suggested" external VAE. WARNING - DO NOT USE SDXL REFINER WITH NIGHTVISION XL The SDXL refiner is incompatible and you will have reduced quality output if you try to use the base model refiner with NightVision XL.

NSFW samples are gated

Use NightVision XL via the ModelsLab API
---

Send a POST request to the relevant endpoint with your API key and `model_id="NightVision_XL"`. The API does not enforce the same NSFW gating as the web playground — content moderation is handled by your account-level policy. Sign up to get an API key.
