In this video, I explain why the new SDXL model from OpenAI might be a gamechanger, what new features it possesses, how it compares to its paid competitor - the Midjourney model, and how it differs from versions 1.5 and 2.1.

I verify whether it's truly capable of creating uncensored images. Next, I explain the specifics of using base and refiner models and delve into parameter fine-tuning. I demonstrate how to use it even if you don't have a powerful GPU and less than the optimal amount of VRAM; I've managed to run it on a laptop with only 4 GB of VRAM. Finally, I show you how to find new SDXL models on CivitAI.com.

All in all, SDXL is a great, free option that competes with Midjourney. You can easily use it for your marketing efforts or even a dropshipping business.
