Creator notes
PixelWave FLUX.1-schnell 04 - Apache 2.0! Safetensor Files: GGUF Files: Links to Model also available at: and PixelWave FLUX.1 schnell version 04 is an aesthetic fine tune of FLUX.1-schnell. The training images were hand picked to ensure the model has a bias to eye catching images, with beautiful colors, textures and lighting. - Trained on the original schnell model, so Apache 2.0 license! - No special requirements to run. Supports FLUX LoRAs - Euler Normal, 8 steps. You can use more steps to improve finer details, but the output doesn't change much after 8 steps. Shout out to RunDiffusion Huge thank you to (co-creators of Juggernaut) for sponsoring the compute that made training this model possible! Figuring out how to train schnell without de-distilling the model required a lot of experimenting, and being able to utilize RunDiffusion's cloud compute made it a lot easier. For those needing API access for this model, we're partnering with I have made the FLUX.1-dev 04 version exclusive to RunDiffusion and Runware for the time being. When I release version 05 in future, I plan to release the dev 04 open weights. Grateful for their support in getting this model out there, please ! Training Training was done with kohya_ss/sd-scripts. You can find my fork of , which also contains changes to the sd-scripts submodule, make sure you clone both. Use the fine tuning tab. I found the best results with the pagedlion8bit optimizer which also could run on my 4090 GPU 24GB. I found other optimizers struggle to learn anything. I have frozen the time_in, vector_in and mod/modulation parameters. This stops the 'de-distillation'. I avoid training single blocks over 15. You can set which blocks to train in the FLUX section. LR 5e-6 trains fast, but you have to stop after a few thousand steps as it starts to corrupt blocks and slow down learning. You can then block merge with an earlier checkpoint, replacing the corrupt blocks, and then continue training further. Signs of corrupt blocks: paper texture over most images, loss of background details. Contact For business or commercial inquiries please reach out to us at . Licensing flux fine tunes. Customer training projects. Commercial AI development. The team can do it all! PixelWave Flux.1-dev 03 fine tuned! Safetensor Files: GGUF Files: Links to The 'diffusers' files are actually the Q8_0 and Q4_K_M GGUF versions. I fine tuned version 03 from base FLUX.1-dev for over 5 weeks on my 4090. It is able to do different art styles, photography, and anime. I used dpmpp 2m sgm uniform 30 steps for the showcase images. If you want a neater/cleaner output, try increasing the guidance. Also mentioning a style can help, so the model doesn't have to guess. I also recommend try adding the upscale latent by node, and scale the latent by 1.5, e.g. generating an image that is 1536x1536 instead of 1024x1024. PixelWave Flux.1-schnell 03 Safetensor Files: GGUF Files: I used dpmpp 2m sgm uniform 8 steps for the showcase images. You can start with 4 steps, but there are less errors with anatomy if you run with more steps. PixelWave Flux.1-dev 02 Safetensor Files: GGUF Files: Version 02 has greatly improved black and dark images, and more reliable outputs with fewer issues with hands. I recommend using dpmpp_2s_ancestral, beta, 14 steps. Or euler, simple, 20 steps. PixelWave 11 SDXL. A general purpose fine tuned model. Great for art and photo styles. I use 20 steps, DPM++ SDE, CFG 4 to 6 or 40 steps, 2M SDE Karras Accelerated Version - 5+ Steps, DPM++ SDE Karras, 2.5 CFG ⚡Recommend 1.5 Scale, with CFG 3. ⭐You don't need to use 'quality' terms such as 4K, 8K, masterpiece, high def, high quality, etc. Unless you want it, I recommend not using words such as 'vibrant, intense, bright, high contrast, neon, dramatic' for photographic styles if you a wanting a more natural look. This can cause images to look 'overcooked', but it's just the CLIP following your prompt. 🙂 If you do want vibrant, neon photos PixelWave will provide! The focus for version 10 was to train the CLIP models, which improves the reliability, ensures you can produce a wide variety of styles, and better at following prompts. Thanks to my friends who helped test: , , , , . No need for the refiner model. This model is not a mix of other models. I also created which contains a lot of useful nodes. You can install it through comfy manager.

7,000°
Floor
The scale runs from 0° to 9,999°. Everything below 7,000° is kept for models no source reports on yet, which carry a stand-in number there so lists stay complete. 7,000° is where measured data begins: a model with real data but almost no downloads sits at the floor, and the measurements fill the degrees above it. The floor says nothing about the model; only the degrees above it do, and they are what separates one model from another.
+964°
Civitai downloads
1,567 downloads of this exact version on Civitai. Downloads are the heaviest ingredient and are counted on a log scale: ten times the downloads adds the same 300°, so a model with a million downloads is not a thousand times hotter than one with a thousand. The six download sources share that one term, split between them in proportion to their counts.
+312°
Likes
119 likes and thumbs up across the sources. A like weighs half a download, on the same log scale.
+8°
Adoption rate
About 0 downloads a day, measured between two readings of the sources, never guessed from a lifetime average. Speed weighs a quarter of the download term, so a fresh surge shows without letting a one-day spike outrank years of use.
+150°
Full model
+150° because this is a full model: a checkpoint, the weights themselves. A LoRA or an embedding is an add-on to someone else's weights and does not outrank a checkpoint of equal popularity.
−497°
Age
−497° because the SDXL weights came out in 2023. Every model inherits the age of the weights it is built on: 150° a year, up to 750°, and it keeps growing until then. Without it the top of the list would be 2022 and 2023 checkpoints on the strength of downloads that had years to pile up.
Show detailed breakdown
Every number on this site can be checked. This model's heat score is 7,937°, and here it is built one ingredient at a time, with the running total after each: the floor, the degrees each source adds, the bonus for the kind of model and what the age of its weights takes away. The colors are the bands of the chart above. The glossary at the end defines every term.
  1. 1
    Start at the floor.
    Why 7,000° and not zero: the scale runs from 0° to 9,999°, and the part below 7,000° is reserved for models no source reports on yet, which carry a stand-in number there so the lists stay complete and never outrank a model with data. 7,000° is where measured data begins. A model with real data but almost no downloads sits here; everything that follows is measurement, and the room above the floor holds ten tenfold steps in downloads at 300° each. The floor is the same for every model, so it decides nothing; the degrees above it do.

    7,937°
Glossary: the terms used here
Heat score
One number for how much a model is used and wanted right now, from 0° to 9,999°. Every list on this site that says hottest is sorted by it and nothing else.
Floor
The 7,000° every model with real data starts from. The scale runs from 0° to 9,999°; the part below the floor is reserved for stand-ins (models without data), so that a model with data always ranks above one without. The floor is the same for everyone and decides nothing; the degrees above it are the measurement.
Download-equivalents
Everything the score treats as a download, added up: downloads themselves, each torrent seeder as 1,000, each AI Horde image and each run on a generation site as one.
Log scale
Counting by tens, not by ones: going from 1,000 to 10,000 downloads adds the same degrees as going from 10,000 to 100,000. It keeps giants from crowding out everything else.
Likes
Thumbs up and likes from every source, worth half a download each on the log scale.
Adoption rate
How many downloads a day a model gets right now, from the difference between two readings of a source. A quarter of the weight of the download term.
Measured and estimated
Measured means two readings of a source exist and the difference is real. Estimated means only today's total is known and the past is spread over the model's life; the site says which one it is showing.
Seeder
Someone who keeps a copy of the weights online for others to download over a torrent, or a hosted mirror doing the same. Each one counts as 1,000 downloads.
AI Horde
A volunteer network that generates images for free on donated computers. The number of images it has made with a model is public, and each counts as one download.
Generation sites
Sites that host their own copies of a model and let people generate with it, such as PixAI, SeaArt and Yodayo. Their downloads count like Civitai's and each generation run as one download.
OpenRouter tokens
A text model served through an API, such as Claude or GPT, has no weights to download, so its usage is measured in tokens: the pieces of text it read and wrote through OpenRouter, a gateway many apps use, over the last 30 days. Every 10,000,000 tokens count as one download. Source: OpenRouter (openrouter.ai/rankings), CC BY 4.0.
Full model (checkpoint)
The weights themselves, the file that generates on its own. It gets a bonus because add-ons depend on it.
LoRA and embedding
Small add-on files that steer someone else's weights toward a style, a character or a concept. They cannot run alone.
Family and weights
The base a model is built on, such as SD 1.5, SDXL, Flux or Wan. Every model inherits the release date of its family's weights.
Age
Degrees taken off for how long ago the family's weights came out: 150° a year, up to 750°. It keeps old downloads that had years to pile up from freezing the top of the list.
Family boost
A small, bounded nudge for LoRAs of a family this site is pushing forward right now, always listed in the breakdown.
Stand-in score
A stable number below the floor given to a model no source reports on yet, so lists stay complete. It never ranks above a model with data.
New! (grace period)
A model less than 7 days old shows New! instead of a score and holds no place in the rankings. Its score is computed from day one, but a model one day old grows faster than anything, so without the wait the week's #1 would always be whatever came out yesterday rather than what held up for a week.
Trend
How a model's growth over a period compares with the typical model's growth over the same period. Faster than typical reads as a rise, slower as a fall.
Typical model
The middle of the catalog: half the models with a figure grew faster over the period, half slower.
How this model's popularity has moved against the rest of the catalog: its growth in downloads, likes and usage over each period, measured against the typical model's growth over the same period, with its heat score at the time. Above the typical growth reads as a rise, below it as a fall. The past is reconstructed from today's totals, the model's first day and its measured download speed where two readings exist; a model that did not exist at the start of a period shows n/a.
