This is just a sd checkpoint trained on output of Midjourney. You can load it into a1111 or invokeai for easier usage. If you are looking for new checkpoints, check out the Protogen series though for some really neat stuff.
On the same topic, is there some sort of 'awesome list' of finetuned SD models? (something better than just browsing https://huggingface.co/models?other=stable-diffusion)
Apologies for the bad taste, but I simply love that song, an absolute classic
Anyhow, regarding civai, you can filter out the NSFW models quite easily
Ought be noted that protogen 5.3 even when it is not an explicit porn model, it was trained with explicit models... So it can be... Raucy as well
BTW I love your app! At my desk I use Automatic1111 (because I have a decent GPU), but it's so nice to have a lean back experience on my iPad. Also, even my 6yo son can use it, as he doesn't need to manipulate a mouse.
So unless you want cliche-as-fuck fantasy and samey waifu material, classic SD seems to do a much better job.
If there's one style I dislike more than the bland Midjourney style, it's the super-smooth "realistic" child faces on adult bodies that protogen (and its own many descendants) spit out.
This offering is like going back to August 2022.
MJ v4 doesn't even use Stable Diffusion as a base [0]; a fine-tune of the latter will never come close to achieving what they do.

I thought everything besides dall-e was sd under the hood.
Is Midjourney heavily funded? Because if they can battle SD why aren't we seeing lots of people doing the same, even in the Open Source space?
a1111 / invokeai -- stable diffusion UI tools
Protogen series -- popular stablediffusion checkpoints you can download so you can generate content in various styles
Which is sub-optimal -> bad. You don't want to train on output from an AI because you'll end up with a worse version of whatever that AI is already being bad at (hands, foot, and countless other things). This is the AI feedback loop that people have been talking about.
So instead of figuring out what Midjourney has done to get such good result, people just blatantly straight copied those results and fed them directly into the AI, as true as the art thief stereotype they are.
