Aardvark 2024 Photography is a photorealistic model that leverages and attempts to improve on the Laion Aesthetic dataset tags and labels.  

This is a Stable Diffusion 1.5 model.  I used the v1-5-pruned.ckpt as a starting point. 

Over the last year, dozens of independent models were trained and merged with the v1-5-pruned.ckpt in order to achieve an initial v0.1 which was then incrementally improved on over the course of a year with individualized concept training through a mixture of LoRA merges and concept ckpts.  This is the unpruned version, and a pruned version will be available in the coming weeks once I've tested it to ensure that there's no degradation.

## Bias, Risks, and Limitations

Because this model uses the common v1.5-pruned.ckpt as a starting point, any biases, risks, or limitations inherent in that model will likely be observed with this model - perhaps to a lesser degree.  Be mindful that this model is capable of NSFW content, and appropriate plugins or setting adjustments may be necessary to limit inappropriate outputs.


### Recommendations

Aardvark 2024 responds well to story-based prompting and tag based prompting.  Negative prompting is useful for fine-tuning. I find that negative TIs are a bit heavy, and I'd recommend only adding negative prompts for issues you are actively trying to solve.
