The newer generations of models often require lower CFG values than older ones: Often works best between 3.0 and 7.0 .
Increasing your sampling steps can sometimes help "dampen" the over-saturation caused by a high CFG.
If high CFG is making your images look "glossy" or "plastic," add terms like oversaturated or plastic skin to your negative prompt. best.cfg
Use the "X/Y/Z Plot" script in your UI to generate a grid of images across different CFG values (e.g., 5, 7, 9, 11) using the same seed to show the exact effect.
In , "best.cfg" typically refers to the Classifier Free Guidance (CFG) Scale , which dictates how strictly the AI follows your text prompt. The newer generations of models often require lower
Forces the AI to adhere strictly to your instructions. High values are useful for complex prompts but risk "deep frying" the image (over-saturation and high contrast).
There is no single "best" value, as the optimal setting depends on your specific model and the style you want to achieve. Recommended CFG Ranges Use the "X/Y/Z Plot" script in your UI
Generally discouraged unless using advanced techniques like "Dynamic Thresholding," as images often break down into neon-colored patches. Model-Specific "Best" Values
