Deep under a mountain lives a sleeping giant, capable to eighter help humanity or create destruction...

A Colossus arise...

After my SDXL series its time for the FLUX series of this Project... This time I trained this thing from ground up. For training I used my own images. I have created them with my schnell Flux model DemonFlux/Colossus Project schnell + my SDXL Colossus Project 12 as refiner.

This SD Flux-Checkpoint is capable to produce nearly everything.. Colossus is very good creating extremly realistic pictures, anime and art.

If you like it, feel free to give me some feedback. Also if you want to support me you can do this here. I have spend some money only to build a computer that is capable to actually train this model.

Version 1.0_dev_beta:

This model is my first entry of the series. I will publish it as all in one version first. This means that the clip_l and T5 encoder is inside the model. Also I will add a GGUF version of it when its done and tested.

Settings and Workflow:

I have tested it with around 30 steps, Euler with Simple as scheduler. The guidance can be set from 1.5-3 (feel free to test it outside this range of course)

The guidance of 1.8 works well for realistic images.

Feel free to experiment with those settings.. If you get good results, please post them.

I have added the showcase images as training data.. Inside it is the workflow for Comfy. Here is the workflow for download: https://civitai.com/articles/7946

"All in one" model:

UNET_only:

You need download the clip_L as well. its the 240MB file.

Important:

The dev model is not intented for commercial use. For this I will publish the "schnell" model on a different place. Its more intended for personal or scientific usage.
