The `chilloutmix` model created by [TASUKU2023](https://twitter.com/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](https://twitter.com/orange_mixer_y/status/1632319367181656064), 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](https://github.com/AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui).

Alternatively, you can do it with [Stable Diffusion Web UI Colab](https://github.com/camenduru/stable-diffusion-webui-colab) if you don't have a powerful PC.

## Prepare

To merge your own `chilloutmix` model, you'll need the following models: 
- [LOFI](https://civitai.com/models/9052/lofi)
- [Colorful](https://civitai.com/models/7279/colorful)
- [Muse V1](https://civitai.com/models/13564/musev1)
- [basil_mix](https://huggingface.co/nuigurumi/basil_mix)

To produce high-quality images with intricate details, the `basil_mix` document suggests utilizing [VAE](https://huggingface.co/stabilityai/sd-vae-ft-mse-original) to train the model. We can bake our model with it.

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

```ipynb
# download models
%cd /content/stable-diffusion-webui/models/Stable-diffusion/
!wget https://civitai.com/api/download/models/14840 -O lofi_V2pre.safetensors
!wget https://civitai.com/api/download/models/7279 -O colorful_v21.safetensors
!wget https://huggingface.co/nuigurumi/basil_mix/blob/main/Basil_mix_fixed.safetensors -O basil_mix_fixed.safetensors
!wget https://civitai.com/api/download/models/15980 -O museV1_v1.safetensors

# download vae model
!mkdir -p /content/stable-diffusion-webui/models/VAE
%cd /content/stable-diffusion-webui/models/VAE
!wget https://huggingface.co/stabilityai/sd-vae-ft-mse-original/resolve/main/vae-ft-mse-840000-ema-pruned.safetensors -O vae-ft-mse-840000-ema-pruned.safetensors
```
