# PlantWhyx — Model Stock Merge

## Model Overview

A community merge of three anime / illustration checkpoints from the
**Plant Milk 🌿 Model Suite** by Ocean3:

| Variant | Series | Version |
|---------|--------|---------|
| **Walnut** | ymk | 3.0.0 |
| **Hemp II** | ldbr | 4.1.1 |
| **Flax**    | ldbr | 3.0.0 |

All three are **Illustrious-based** (SDXL architecture) checkpoints, so they
are fully architecture-compatible and were merged directly without any
conversion step. The result is a balanced blend that keeps the "flavor" of
every source model.

## Model Introduction

This checkpoint combines the three community-favorite variants of the Plant
Milk suite into a single model. It targets anime / illustration generation
and is intended as a general-purpose Illustrious anime base.

## Merge Method (Creation)

Created by **merging, not training**. Two chained **Model Stock** merges
were performed (Model Stock auto-selects the blend weight that keeps the
result closest — by cosine similarity — to both inputs, which yields a
stable, non-"burnt" blend of finetunes sharing a common lineage):

1. `Walnut` + `Hemp II` → intermediate checkpoint
2. intermediate + `Flax` → **PlantWhyx** (checkpoint: `PlantWhyx.safetensors`)

> Note: text-encoder (CLIP) tensors of a few layers fall back to source
> model A during per-tensor NaN/Inf validation (documented merge-engine
> safety behavior). The **UNet** — which drives image generation — is fully
> merged and unaffected.

## Inference

Recommended settings (inherited from the source suite):

- **Sampler:** Euler or Euler a (HeunPP2 / Restart also work)
- **CFG scale:** ~3 (range 3–6)
- **Steps:** ~28
- **Resolution:** 1024×1024 (SDXL native)

Example (Automatic1111 / Forge / ComfyUI):

```
prompt: a girl with long hair, flower field, soft lighting
negative prompt: lowres, bad anatomy, worst quality
Steps: 28, Sampler: Euler a, CFG: 3, Size: 1024x1024
```

## Model Effects

Blends the stylistic strengths of Walnut, Hemp II and Flax. Well suited for
anime / illustration characters and scenes; behaves like a standard
Illustrious anime base.

## License & Usage

- **License:** Illustrious — FAIPL-1.0-SD
  (https://freedevproject.org/faipl-1.0-sd/)
- Derivatives may be shared, but **must not be used for commercial purposes**
  (generative services, commissioned models, Yodayo-Moescape, PixAI, etc.).
- When publishing merges, state the steps taken and clearly indicate where
  modifications were made.
- The model may output NSFW content depending on the prompt; use responsibly.
