Technically a fine-tune, practically a base model: a great many checkpoints on Civitai are built on it rather than on SDXL directly. It uses its own prompt conventions — score tags and quality prefixes — which do not carry over from vanilla SDXL, and that trips up everyone at least once.

Unlike the Stability base models it was trained with adult material included, which is why it is the foundation so much of the community builds on.
