Juggernaut XL v2 by RunDiffusion

Name: Juggernaut-XL
Rating: 2.5 (2098 reviews)

The early SDXL release — kept here for reference and historical workflows.

Juggernaut XL v2 is one of the earliest Juggernaut SDXL checkpoints — the technically best of the first four versions. It predates the RunDiffusion Photo integration that defined v6 onward, so the photographic feel is rawer and more SDXL-base-like. Kept here for reference and for workflows that depend on it.

⚠️ For new projects, use the latest

Juggernaut has come a long way since v2. Two years of training, captioning, and photo-model improvements:

Newer model	Why upgrade
Juggernaut XL v9	The flagship SDXL — RunDiffusion Photo v2. 6M+ downloads.
Juggernaut X / XI	Ground-up retrains with GPT-4V captions
Juggernaut Z	Lumina-Image-2 architecture — cinematic out of the box
Juggernaut Pro Flux	FLUX.1 backbone — top-tier photo quality
