## 📸 ERNIE-AIO-Base

The Base version is intended for high-quality, deliberate, and stable generation.

**Features:** 📖 Strong instruction following • 🖋️ Text rendering • 📐 Structured layouts

```
Steps: 50  |  CFG: 4.0
```

[![ERNIE-AIO-Base preview](https://huggingface.co/SeeSee21/ERNIE-AIO/resolve/main/images/ernie-aio-base.png)](https://huggingface.co/SeeSee21/ERNIE-AIO/blob/main/images/ernie-aio-base.png)

Use this version when you want:
- Stronger refinement and more careful rendering
- Full non-turbo quality
- Best results for posters, infographics, and text-heavy layouts

---

## ⚡ ERNIE-AIO-Turbo

The Turbo version is a distilled variant for fast generation and quick iteration.

**Features:** ⚡ 8-step generation • 🎯 High prompt fidelity • 🚀 Quick turnaround

```
Steps: 8  |  CFG: 1.0
```

[![ERNIE-AIO-Turbo preview](https://huggingface.co/SeeSee21/ERNIE-AIO/resolve/main/images/ernie-aio-turbo.png)](https://huggingface.co/SeeSee21/ERNIE-AIO/blob/main/images/ernie-aio-turbo.png)

Use this version when you want:
- Fast output for prototyping and iteration
- Strong visual quality with minimal steps
- Efficient VRAM usage

---

## 🔄 FP8 vs BF16

| | 🟡 FP8 | 🌟 BF16 |
|---|---|---|
| **Quality** | ~95% | 100% |
| **File Size** | Smaller | Full |
| **Speed** | Faster | Standard |
| **VAE** | FP32 (stable) | FP32 (stable) |
| **Best For** | Daily use | Final renders |

> **Note:** The FP8 versions in this repository were quantized by me.  
> VAE is kept at **FP32** in all variants for stable decoding.

## ⚙️ Common Settings

```
# ERNIE-AIO-Base
Steps:    50
CFG:      4.0

# ERNIE-AIO-Turbo
Steps:    8
CFG:      1.0

# Placement (both variants)
ComfyUI/models/checkpoints/

# Loader
Standard "Load Checkpoint" node — no extra VAE or text encoder loader needed
```

**Minimal workflow:**
1. **Checkpoint Loader**
2. **CLIP Text Encode (Prompt)**
3. **Empty Latent Image**
4. **KSampler**
5. **VAE Decode**
6. **Save Image**

---

## 🗂️ Prompt Enhancer

An optional **Prompt Enhancer** is included in the `prompt-enhancer/` folder.

- Automatically expands short prompts into richer, more descriptive prompts
- Used by the included workflow
- Fully optional — works without it too

> ⚠️ **Placement:** The Prompt Enhancer files must be placed in:
> ```
> ComfyUI/models/text_encoders/
> ```
> **Not** in a `prompt-enhancer/` subfolder — place the files directly into `text_encoders/`.

---

## 💡 Prompting

**Natural language works best!** These models excel at instruction following and text rendering.

```
✅ A cinematic movie poster with a bold readable title at the top,
   dramatic lighting, a futuristic skyline in the background,
   and a heroic figure silhouetted against a neon-lit city.

❌ movie poster, city, hero, cinematic, dramatic
```

**ERNIE-Image is especially strong for:**

| Category | Examples |
|---|---|
| 🎬 Posters & Title Cards | Movie posters, event flyers, title images |
| ☕ Product Ads | Coffee brands, packaging with readable text |
| 📊 Infographics | Labeled sections, structured layouts |
| 💬 Comics | Speech bubbles, panel compositions |
| 🖥️ UI-style Visuals | Interface mockups, app screens |
| 🖼️ Realistic Imagery | Portraits, environments, product shots |

**For best results, describe:**
- Subject & environment
- Composition & layout
- Mood & lighting
- Camera framing
- Any text that should appear in the image
