DreamShaper 7 (SD1.5 fine-tune, creativeml-openrail-m): AutoPipelineForText2Image fp16 with DEISMultistepScheduler and 25 steps. V7 improves LoRA support, NSFW and realism; V5 is best at photorealism; AbsoluteReality for pure realism.

Lykon/dreamshaper-7 is a Stable Diffusion model fine-tuned on runwayml/stable-diffusion-v1-5, with declared licence creativeml-openrail-m.

Diffusers recipe from the card: AutoPipelineForText2Image.from_pretrained("lykon/dreamshaper-7", torch_dtype=torch.float16, variant="fp16"); replace the scheduler with DEISMultistepScheduler.from_config(pipe.scheduler.config); move to CUDA; generate with num_inference_steps=25 (the example uses seed 33).

Version guide from the author: version 7 improves LoRA support, NSFW and realism, and recommends AbsoluteReality for "absolute" realism; version 6 adds LoRA support and style and is better at generating directly at 1024 height (with care); version 5 is best at photorealism and has noise offset; version 4 handles anime and booru tags without a LoRA. The card also carries a note about version 8, which is a separate later model.

Connected record: AnimateDiff-Lightning recommends DreamShaper among its realistic SD1.5 base models.
