    spaceship, smoking, with a rustic feel. The image should embody epic
    portraiture and double exposure, featuring an isolated landscape visible
    through the window. The colors should primarily be dynamic and
    action-packed, with a strong use of negative space. The entire artwork
    should be in pixel art style, emphasizing the characters shape and set
    against a white background. Silhouette

# ProteusV0.5
ProteusV0.5 is the latest full release of my AI image generation model, built as a sophisticated enhancement over OpenDalleV1.1. This version brings significant improvements in photorealism, prompt comprehension, and stylistic capabilities across various domains.
About Proteus
Proteus leverages and enhances the core functionalities of OpenDalleV1.1 to deliver superior outcomes. Key areas of advancement include heightened responsiveness to prompts and augmented creative capacities. The model has been fine-tuned using a carefully curated dataset of copyright-free stock images and high-quality AI-generated image pairs.

# Key Features of ProteusV0.5

Significantly trained custom CLIP model for enhanced prompt understanding
Trained on hand-picked photorealistic images for improved realism
Enhanced stylistic capabilities across various domains, including surrealism, anime, and cartoon-style visualizations
Full release with refined performance and stability

# Proteus's Background

Proteus serves as a sophisticated enhancement over OpenDalleV1.1, leveraging its core functionalities to deliver superior outcomes. Key areas of advancement include heightened responsiveness to prompts and augmented creative capacities. To achieve this, it was fine-tuned using approximately 220,000 GPTV captioned images from copyright-free stock images (with some anime included), which were then normalized. Additionally, DPO (Direct Preference Optimization) was employed through a collection of 10,000 carefully selected high-quality, AI-generated image pairs.
In pursuit of optimal performance, numerous LORA (Low-Rank Adaptation) models are trained independently before being selectively incorporated into the principal model via dynamic application methods. These techniques involve targeting particular segments within the model while avoiding interference with other areas during the learning phase. Consequently, Proteus exhibits marked improvements in portraying intricate facial characteristics and lifelike skin textures, all while sustaining commendable proficiency across various aesthetic domains, notably surrealism, anime, and cartoon-style visualizations.

# Training Details

Total training dataset: Now over 400,000 images
Initial training: ~220,000 GPTV captioned images from copyright-free stock images (including some anime)
Additional training: Hand-picked photorealistic images
Fine-tuning: Direct Preference Optimization (DPO) with 10,000 carefully selected high-quality, AI-generated image pairs
LORA (Low-Rank Adaptation) models trained independently and selectively incorporated

# Improvements

Enhanced portrayal of intricate facial characteristics and lifelike skin textures
Improved proficiency in surrealism, anime, and cartoon-style visualizations
Superior prompt comprehension due to custom-trained CLIP
Expanded dataset leading to more diverse and accurate outputs
Refined balance between creativity and accuracy

# Recommended Settings

Clip Skip: 2
CFG Scale: 7
Steps: 25 - 50
Sampler: DPM++ 2M SDE
Scheduler: Karras
Resolution: 1024x1024

The custom-trained CLIP is a significant point of differentiation, as very few models incorporate this feature. Enjoy creating with the fully released ProteusV0.5!
