Oil painting in Van Gogh's style depicting Langlois Bridge under a starry night sky with swirling stars and glowing orbs, vibrant pink Sakura petals blooming on a tree and scattered on the ground, beside a rustic house and a yellow armchair.
Silhouette of a man in a winter coat standing in an autumn forest at night, illuminated by the headlights of a vintage car with fog and volumetric lighting creating a mysterious and horror mood.
A miniature knight in full shiny armor holding a small sword facing off against a large snail in a forest setting.
A medieval castle perched on a towering cliff with glowing lava and a massive demonic skull face forming part of the rock beneath, surrounded by dark, enchanted clouds and a glowing orb in the sky, rendered in a hyperdetailed oil painting style.
A glowing fairy house shaped like a giant mushroom with smaller mushrooms around it, nestled in a magical forest illuminated by fireflies and enchanting, soft lighting.
A cute small animal character wearing a blue raincoat and boots, holding a large umbrella in the rain with drops falling around, illustrated in the Jean-Baptiste Monge style.
A massive cyberpunk-style tower rising from the sea with fog around its base, a lone fisherman in a boat in the turbulent water, and a dramatic sky above.
A moss-green stone gargoyle with horns perched on a Gothic cathedral ledge covered in moss, overlooking a misty city at dawn with soft cinematic lighting.

Tips

Less CFG (3-6) results in more realistic images.

Use Juggernaut Ragnarok as part of a pipeline with FluxDev, Pixelwave, or Jug Flux Pro for best results.

The model supports Booru tagging and caption styles from versions X–XII.

VAE is baked in, so no external VAE model is needed.

Version Highlights

Used version 12 as the base for training to bring it back into photorealism. Trained another NSFW set on SDXL (using Booru tags). Then trained the same NSFW set again, this time using the great Lustify Model by Coyotte as the base.

Both NSFW sets were then merged into the trained photorealism model (0.15 ratio for the trained SDXL NSFW set and 0.1 ratio for the trained Lustify set)

Juggernaut on HuggingFace

A big thanks goes to RunDiffusion and Adam, who diligently helped me make it work :) (Leave some love for them ;) )

Hey everyone,

It’s been 8 months since the last version was released here on CivitAI.
Of course, I haven’t been idle during that time . I completed several projects to ensure I’d have the financial means to keep exploring new architectures and possibly do full finetunes on them in the future.

Juggernaut Flux (and its many sub-variants) was a ton of work, but ultimately, I’ve wrapped that chapter up. The training process gave me way too many headaches. To keep my sanity, I spent my spare time working on Juggernaut SDXL with the hope of maybe releasing one final version for you all.
And that day has finally come. :)

I won’t waste too much time on technical details.
I started by training a photographic dataset using Jug XII as the base to shift the focus back toward photorealism (Jug XII was leaning more into an artistic direction).
Then I re-captioned my set with Booru tags and trained it using SDXL as the base.
I merged these two sets (at a 0.15 ratio), but ultimately I wasn’t satisfied.

So I ran the same Set again, this time using Lustify by Coyotte as the base model.
That version was then added to the earlier one (at a 0.1 ratio) as a stabilizer for the output.
Since the Dataset was captioned using Booru tags, both Booru tagging and the captioning style from versions X–XII work extremely well with Ragnarok.

Juggernaut Ragnarok has improved in many areas: photorealism, digital painting, poses, hands, feet, and much more.
That said, it’s still an SDXL model, and I don’t recommend comparing it to models like Flux, Reve, or Sora. For example, it still has limitations when it comes to text rendering or faces at a distance.

I recommend using it as part of a pipeline for your projects. Example setup:
FluxDev / Pixelwave / Jug Flux ProJuggernaut Ragnarok

A quick personal note about Juggernaut:
Honestly, I don’t know what comes next.
After the release of Sora and similar tools, the open-source image generation space feels a bit dull in comparison.
Nothing has really excited me enough to dive back into training (yes, I’m talking about HiDream too).
So I’m seeing Juggernaut Ragnarok as a kind of farewell, especially since it’s unclear where things are headed with CivitAI in general.
(You can download all Juggernaut versions from HuggingFace, by the way.)

Last but not least:
Have fun with the model, share your creations, and good luck with your projects!
And in case you’re wondering: Yes, you can do anything you want with Juggernaut : merge it, train it, sell the image outputs, etc.
Just a simple shoutout is all I ask. :)

And now, here are the recommended settings:

Res: 832*1216 (For Portrait, but any SDXL Res will work fine)

Sampler: DPM++ 2M SDE

Steps: 30-40

CFG: 3-6 (less is a bit more realistic)

Negative: Start with no negative, and add afterwards the Stuff you don´t wanna see in that image.

VAE is already Baked In

HiRes: 4xNMKD-Siax_200k with 15 Steps and 0.3 Denoise + 1.5 Upscale


And now, have fun trying it out. As always, I'm eagerly waiting for your pictures in the Gallery :)

If you liked the model, please leave a Like. In the end, that's what helps me the most as a creator on CivitAI. :)

Last but not least, I'd like to thank a few people without whom Juggernaut XL probably wouldn't have come to fruition:
