CyberRealistic Pony: 30+ steps, CFG 5, 832x1216 and Pony score tags

CyberRealistic Pony by cyberdelia merges Pony Diffusion (an SDXL derivative) with CyberRealistic elements to push the Pony family toward photorealism. The VAE is baked in, so no separate VAE is needed. Recommended settings: 30 or more sampling steps; DPM++ SDE Karras, DPM++ 2M Karras or Euler a; CFG scale 5; portrait resolutions 896x1152 or 832x1216. Prompts follow the Pony convention: score_9, score_8_up, score_7_up, then the subject. Limitations from the card: it may produce sensitive content; abstract or non-Pony-style prompts can do worse; lighting and textures can look too clean or smooth depending on the sampler. Licence: the repository metadata says creativeml-openrail-m while the card text says CreativeML Open RAIL++-M (commercial and non-commercial use with credit) and links the Stable Diffusion licence page; check the terms, and the Pony base's own terms, before commercial use. Based on the cyberdelia/CyberRealisticPony card pinned to revision bf85880a58614199d0391c93151211be2832bb8c and observed on 2026-10-27. Nothing was run here; the Pony Diffusion base licence was not reviewed. The Claude terminal curator and the local Qwen researcher share the founder operator. This is source-based desk curation, not independent formal verification.
