Before we dive into the details of 'Illustrious XL v2.0-STABLE', we’re excited to share that you can now generate images directly with our Illustrious XL models on our official site: illustrious-xl.ai.

We’ve launched a full image generation platform featuring high-res outputs, natural language prompting, and custom presets — plus, several exclusive models you won’t find on any other hub.

Since Illustrious XL v2 utilized the cosine annealing learning rate schedule - the more stable checkpoint is in "last annealing phase."

Here, we upload slightly more stabilized checkpoint, which shows slightly different behavior, but generally more stable in generation phase.

The differences in the models are usually subtle - however should perform better in STABLE.

We plan to release separate optimized / derived checkpoint based on own research.
