The chilloutmix model created by TASUKU2023 is highly popular for generating realistic and aesthetically pleasing images of Asian females.

The model itself is not commercially free. Fortunately, with its recipe, you can create one of your own to avoid licensing issues.

The chilloutmix model was actually merged from several other models.

This guide will show you how to merge your own chilloutmix model with the help of Stable Diffusion Web UI.

Alternatively, you can do it with Stable Diffusion Web UI Colab if you don't have a powerful PC.

Prepare

To merge your own chilloutmix model, you'll need the following models:

To produce high-quality images with intricate details, the basil_mix document suggests utilizing VAE to train the model. We can bake our model with it.

Here's a script to download those models in Colab:
