 Anons have been experimenting with merging PonyXL with other checkpoints, the following autism mixes have been popular, the DPO one has a much better default style out of the box, PonyXL LoRAs do still work on them but they may have a reduced strength.

 NEW NOTE 1/24/2024: I've noticed that some LoRA bakers are using different negatives when testing their LoRAs, which can lead to discrepancies when using them. I've mostly noticed that some LoRAs have a significantly reduced effect if you don't have source_pony or some combination of the source_* tags other than source anime in the negatives. This is unfortunate but a byproduct of not having a standardized process for creating the LoRAs. There's another section down below that has more info about similar issues with PonyXL that's worth reading.
 
 I made a powershell script to try and pull down the LoRAs on this rentry, it will store the last downloaded url for a lora in a history file in case a new or improved one replaces it so you can reuse the script without downloading everything again. You call the script and pass in a destination folder to store the LoRAs. Obviously run at your own risk, I can't prove to you I'm not an asshole or terrible programmer. You'll probably get throttled if you download everything in one go so run it overnight or something. Some of these LoRAs are huge, the whole folder with them all downloaded is ~15 gb.

 These don't require activation triggers unless otherwise stated. Some of these had been previously uploaded to litterbox because they were too large for catbox. Unfortunately the links have expired, I've replaced them with resized versions that are just a couple ranks smaller so hopefully there's no quality loss. These replacement LoRAs have resized on the end of their names. I removed the original ones so people who were lucky enough to download them won't have them overwritten.

-##Tricks with the model for more anime style
+## Tricks with the model for more anime style
 There's some evidence that the model has a bit of a bias towards western style art, particularly when using the score tags (it is made by furries after all). It might be beneficial to tag your image sets with the score tags, the laziest way would be to tag every image with score_9, source_anime, this may affect the overall "quality" of images the lora generates since some of the knowledge in the model about "high quality" might be overwritten but it will look more like the artist's style. 
 
 You can also help nudge generations with the model more towards anime style by using "source_cartoon, source_furry, source_pony, sketch, painting, monochrome" in the negative prompt when generating images. Some of the artists with more subtle art styles tend to have more success with this in my experience. The bias is a bit less evident in the lower scores so if a LoRA has it's images tagged with score_9 a prompt like "source_anime, score_9, score_6_up, score_5_up, score_4_up" might get better results. Unfortunately this also makes your LoRA harder to use, you'd have to tell people to use it this way.
 
 Other tricks tried were to include all the score tags in the LoRA's training set on every image which didn't have much success or only using the source_anime tag which also didn't seem to influence the LoRA's effectiveness much. I haven't tried actually using the score tags as intended since that takes more effort than I'm willing to put in for a LoRA for the time being but that may net the best results.

 I've been messing around with Lycoris locon, which needs inputs for conv network rank and alpha which I generally saw recommendations to set it to the network rank and alpha of the model (and to not exceed 64). Not sure how easy it is to use with the UI frontends but here's what the commandline looks like for kohya-ss. As always any criticism is welcome on /hdg/ I've actually gotten some good feedback on there.
