Beta? More like beautiful instability.
CyberRealistic XL Catalyst is where SDXL gets experimental — and unhinged in the best way. It’s not a clean showroom build. It’s the test garage where sparks fly, bolts get overtightened, and something unexpected roars to life. Built from the bones of CyberRealistic XL but loaded with experimental code, Catalyst is for those who don't mind a little chaos with their clarity.
This is where realism collides with raw unpredictability. Sometimes it's genius, sometimes it's weird, and sometimes it's so wrong it loops back to right. Welcome to the lab.
Experimental realism tuning — slightly less censored, slightly more what was that!?
Evolving with every update — no changelog, just vibes and anomalies
Output is volatile — but when it hits, it absolutely slaps

Yes, Catalyst can be uncensored. That’s not a free pass — it’s a responsibility. Don’t misuse it.
CyberRealistic XL Catalyst is a highly specialized Image generation AI Model of type Safetensors / Checkpoint AI Model created by AI community user Cyberdelia. Derived from the powerful Stable Diffusion (SDXL 1.0) model, CyberRealistic XL Catalyst has undergone an extensive fine-tuning process, leveraging the power of a dataset consisting of images generated by other AI models or user-contributed data. This fine-tuning process ensures that CyberRealistic XL Catalyst is capable of generating images that are highly relevant to the specific use-cases it was designed for, such as base model, realistic.
With a rating of 0 and over 0 ratings, CyberRealistic XL Catalyst is a popular choice among users for generating high-quality images from text prompts.
Yes! You can download the latest version of CyberRealistic XL Catalyst from here.
To use CyberRealistic XL Catalyst, download the model checkpoint file and set up an UI for running Stable Diffusion models (for example, AUTOMATIC1111). Then, provide the model with a detailed text prompt to generate an image. Experiment with different prompts and settings to achieve the desired results. If this sounds a bit complicated, check out our initial guide to Stable Diffusion – it might be of help. And if you really want to dive deep into AI image generation and understand how set up AUTOMATIC1111 to use Safetensors / Checkpoint AI Models like CyberRealistic XL Catalyst, check out our crash course in AI image generation.
