Illustrious XL is an open-source SDXL-based generative AI model optimized for native 1536×1536 anime-style illustration.
It serves as an untuned base canvas — deliberately left without a fixed aesthetic — making it ideal for training custom checkpoints and LoRAs.
The model features a Hybrid Prompting System that blends natural English sentences with comma-separated Danbooru2023 tags for precise control over characters, outfits, and scenes.
