# AstolfoMix-XL (256cR-Evo / 256c-Evo / 256c / DGMIZ-AK7c / 215cR-Evo / 255c / 215c / DGMLA-216 / TGMD-192 / TGMD / TSD / TIES-SOUP / Extended-FP64 / Baseline) #

- Unsolved merge, even with experience on [SD1](https://huggingface.co/6DammK9/AstolfoMix) and [SD2](https://huggingface.co/6DammK9/AstolfoMix-SD2).
- See [full article in Github](https://github.com/6DammK9/nai-anime-pure-negative-prompt/blob/main/ch05/README_XL.MD) 
- Since "Extended-FP64", dedicated merger [sd-mecha](https://github.com/ljleb/sd-mecha) is used. It is the SD version of [mergekit](https://arxiv.org/abs/2403.13257).
- Preview here are powered by the top session of `README.md` and converting SDXL model from A1111 standalone file into diffuers via [convert_sdxl_to_diffusers.py](https://github.com/Linaqruf/sdxl-model-converter/blob/main/convert_sdxl_to_diffusers.py). Settings may not being optimal (no CFG / PAG / FreeU etc). I'll replace the preview diffuser as soon as I upload the main model file.

- This algorithm should be linear a.k.a O(N) in space, and O(NlogN) in time complexity. However layerwise merging introduce some constants skewing the actual experience.

## 215cR-Evo in nutshell ##

- 0.5 (0.5 215c + 0.5 "R Lora") + 0.5 "1EP".

## DGMIZ-AK7c explained ##

- `DGMXX-XXXX`: "Drop w/ GeoMedian and LA", modified from DELLA Merge and previous works.

- `XXXIZ-XXXX`: "Iso-Z", modified from Isotropic Merge.

- `XXXXX-AK7X`: Same model pool in AstolfoKarmix NoobAI based v1.1.

- `XXXXX-XXXc`: "Extrapolated Re-Basin", modified from Git Re-Basin (ICLR2023?), with "2B-A" merge.
