N40NAillousV2-xl
This model was created starting from the idea of using NoobAI vPred 0.6 for merging.
When merging the vPred model with the epsilonPred model, the resulting images didn't turn out as expected. However, by adjusting the block weight values, I managed to retain the TE (Text Encoder) of the vPred model while introducing some noise to create a slightly altered version. Then, I incorporated this modified model into the existing N40NAillous.
The performance doesn't feel like a massive improvement, but the images seem to come out better overall—just a subjective impression, perhaps?
While at it, I also used the newly released NTRMIX4.0 LoRA and arcain-2411 LoRA. Starting from the NoobAI 1.0 model, I redid the entire merging process from scratch, incorporating the vPred model into a newly created merged model instead of the previous N40NAillous.
