Update log for Stabilizer
Main timeline:
Now ~: Natural details and textures, stable prompt understanding and more creativity. Not limited to pure 2D anime style anymore.
illus01 v1.23 / nbep11 0.138 ~: Better anime style with vivid colors.
illus01 v1.3 / nbep11 0.58 ~: Better anime style.
(1/10/2026): cknb02 v0.302a
Dropped 20% images in dataset that are too messy/complicated, should have less artifacts in background. Also trained with 50% less steps, previous version seems a little bit overcooked. Note: "a" means it has weak default anime style. Base model is ChenkinNoob-XL.
(12/26/2025): cknb02 v0.299a
"a" means it has a weak default anime style.
Dataset changed a lot, I think ~50% images are new and all captions are regenerated by Gemini 3.
(10/21/2025): Noobai v-pred v0.280a
Special version, "a" means anime. There is a default 2D anime style. So it should be easier to use if you don't want to prompt style. Also the dataset changed a lot, the effect may quite different than previous version.
(8/31/2025) NoobAI ep10 v0.273
This version is trained from the start on NoobAI eps v1.0. Better and balanced brightness in extreme conditions.
(8/24/2025) NoobAI v-pred v0.271:
Comparing to previous v0.264:
Better and balanced lighting in extreme condition, less bias.
High contrast, pure black 0 and white 255 in the same image, even at same place, no overflowing and oversaturation. Now you can have all of them at once.
(old v0.264 will try to cap the image between 10~250 to avoid overflowing, and still has noticeable bias issue, overall image may be too dark or bright)
(8/17/2025) NoobAI v-pred v0.264:
First version trained on NoobAI v-pred. Better lighting, less overflowing.
(7/28/2025) illus01 v1.198
Mainly comparing to v1.185c:
End of "c" version. Although "visually striking" is good but it has compatibility issues with other style LoRAs.
Instead, more textures and details. Cinematic level of lighting. Better compatibility.
This version changed lots of things, including dataset overhaul, so the effect will be quite different than previous versions.
For those who want v1.185c crazy effects back. You can find pure and dedicated art styles in this page. If dataset is big enough for a LoRA, I may train one.
(6/21/2025) illus01 v1.185c:
Comparing to v1.165c.
+100% clearness and sharpness.
-30% images that are too chaotic (cannot be descripted properly). So you may find that this version can't give you a crazy high contrast level anymore, but should be more stable in normal use cases.
(6/10/2025): illus01 v1.165c
This is a special version. This is not an improvement of v1.164. "c" stands for "colorful", "creative", sometimes "chaotic".
The dataset contains images that are very visually striking, but sometimes hard to describe e.g.: Very colorful. High contrast. Complex lighting condition. Objects, complex pattens everywhere.
So you will get "visually striking", but at cost of "natural". May affect styles that have soft colors, etc. E.g. This version cannot generate "pencil art" texture perfectly like v1.164.
(6/4/2025): illus01 v1.164
Better prompt understanding. Now each image has 3 natural captions, from different perspective. Danbooru tags are checked by LLM, only important tags are picked out and fused into the natural caption.
Anti-overexpose. Added a bias to prevent model output reaching #ffffff pure white level. Most of the time #ffffff == overexposed, which lost many details.
(5/19/2025): illus01 v1.152
Continual to improve lighting and textures and details.
5K more images, more training steps, as a result, stronger effect.
(5/9/2025): nbep11 v0.205:
A quick fix of brightness and color issues in v0.198. Now it should not change brightness and colors so dramatically. v0.198 isn't bad, just creative, but too creative.
(5/7/2025): nbep11 v0.198:
Added more dark images. Less deformed body, background in dark environment.
Removed color and contrast enhancement. Because it's not needed anymore. Use Contrast Controller instead.
(4/25/2025): nbep11 v0.172.
Same new things in illus01 v1.93 ~ v1.121.
Better natural texture, background, lighting. Weaker character effects for better style compatibility.
Better color accuracy and stability.
(4/17/2025): illus01 v1.121.
Rolled back to illustrious v0.1. illustrious v1.0 and newer versions were trained with AI images deliberately (maybe 30% of its dataset). Which is not ideal for LoRA training. I didn't notice until I read its paper.
Lower character style effect. Back to v1.23 level. Characters will have less details from this LoRA, but should have better compatibility. This is a trade-off.
Other things just same as below (v1.113).
(4/10/2025): illus11 v1.113
Trained on Illustrious v1.1.
More data for texture, lighting and depth of field effect. Better background structural stability. Less deformed background, like deformed rooms, buildings.
Full natural language captions from LLM.
(3/30/2025): illus01 v1.93.
v1.72 was trained too hard. So I reduced it overall strength. Should have better compatibility.
(3/22/2025): nbep11 v0.160.
Same stuffs in illus v1.72.
(3/15/2025): illus01 v1.72
Same new texture and lighting dataset as mentioned in ani40z v0.4 below. More natural lighting and natural textures.
Added a small ~100 images dataset for hand enhancement, focusing on hand(s) with different tasks, like holding a glass or cup or something.
Removed all "simple background" images from dataset. -200 images.
Switched training tool from kohya to onetrainer. Changed LoRA architecture to DoRA.
(3/4/2025) ani40z v0.4
Trained on Animagine XL 4.0 ani40zero.
Added ~1k dataset focusing on natural dynamic lighting and real world texture.
More natural lighting and natural textures.
ani04 v0.1
Init version for Animagine XL 4.0. Mainly to fix Animagine 4.0 brightness issues. Better and higher contrast.
illus01 v1.23
nbep11 v0.138
Added some furry/non-human/other images to balance the dataset.
nbep11 v0.129
bad version, effect is too weak, rank is too small, just ignore it
nbep11 v0.114
Implemented "Full range colors". It will automatically balance the things towards "normal and good looking". Think of this as the "one-click photo auto enhance" button in most of photo editing tools.
One downside of this optimization: It prevents high bias. You can't generate an image with 95% of the image is dark, and 5% bright. It will be balanced to 50/50%
Added a little bit realistic data. More vivid details, lighting, less flat colors.
illus01 v1.7
nbep11 v0.96
More training images.
Then finetuned again on a small "wallpaper" dataset (Real game wallpapers, the highest quality I could find. ~100 images). More improvements in details (noticeable in skin, hair) and contrast.
nbep11 v0.58
More images. Change the training parameters as close as to NoobAI base model.
illus01 v1.3
nbep11 v0.30
More images.
nbep11 v0.11: Trained on NoobAI epsilon pred v1.1.
Improved dataset tags. Improved LoRA structure and weight distribution. Should be more stable and have less impact on image composition.
illus01 v1.1
Trained on illustriousXL v0.1.
nbep10 v0.10
Trained on NoobAI epsilon pred v1.0.
