-> Juggernaut XL is the most popular SDXL fine-tune in the world. Version 9 — co-developed by **KandooAI** and **RunDiffusion**, integrating **RunDiffusion Photo v2** — is the proven photorealism workhorse trusted by **hundreds of thousands of creators**: 6M+ all-time downloads on Hugging Face, 1.5M+ on Civitai, and an *Overwhelmingly Positive* rating across 7,780+ reviews.
-
-## Why Juggernaut XL v9 in 2026?
-
-The SDXL ecosystem is the single most mature corner of open image generation, and v9 is its most refined photorealism checkpoint. Choose Juggernaut XL v9 when you want:
-
-- 📸 **Photorealism that holds up under scrutiny** — skin texture, micro-contrast, and natural lighting that translates from concept to print.
-- 💻 **Reasonable hardware** — runs comfortably on 8 GB of VRAM, unlike newer DiT-based models that demand 16+ GB.
-- 🧰 **The full SDXL toolbox** — drop-in compatibility with the thousands of SDXL ControlNets, IP-Adapter variants, AnimateDiff, regional prompting tools, and LoRAs already in your workflow.
-- 🏆 **Battle-tested reliability** — 26+ months in production, used in agencies, studios, and shipping products around the world.
-
-For experimental and frontier work, see the rest of the [Juggernaut family](#looking-for-something-newer). For SDXL photorealism, this is the king of the hill.

-> **Negative prompts:** start with **none**. Add specific things you don't want as you iterate. Heavy negatives often hurt more than they help on this model.

-### Useful Prompt Keywords
+A big thanks for Version 9 goes to  [RunDiffusion](http://rundiffusion.com/?utm_source=huggingface&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=Kandoo)  ([Photo Model](https://rundiffusion.com/rundiffusion-photo/?utm_source=huggingface&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=Kandoo)) and  [Adam](https://twitter.com/Colorblind_Adam), who diligently helped me test :) (Leave some love for them ;) )
 
-These tokens reliably steer output:
+It's time for another round, this time a bit delayed, but I hope you forgive the delay. Let's dive straight into the changes that await you or what we've been working on lately:
 
-```
-Architecture Photography · Wildlife Photography · Car Photography
-Food Photography · Interior Photography · Landscape Photography
-Hyperdetailed Photography · Cinematic Movie · Still Mid Shot Photo
-Full Body Photo · Skin Details
-```
+For V9, I myself have only done basic training. This involves some work on skin details, lighting, and overall contrast. However, the biggest change to the model came from the [RunDiffusion Photo Model](https://rundiffusion.com/rundiffusion-photo/?utm_source=huggingface&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=Kandoo) update, which was made available to me in V2 by [RunDiffusion.com](https://rundiffusion.com/?utm_source=huggingface&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=Kandoo). The photographic output of the model should, in our experience, be even stronger than in previous versions.

+Now for a small "roadmap" update, or a general status update on how things are progressing with Juggernaut. As you may have noticed, there was a slight delay with V9. With each successive version, it has become increasingly difficult to train Juggernaut without sacrificing quality in some areas, which was already the case to some extent with V8. Don't worry, V9 is really good, and I'm satisfied with the version I can present to you today :) However, I've decided to go for a complete "reboot" for V10. I want to simply retrain the Juggernaut base set. The conditions for better captioning weren't as favorable "back then" as they are today, so I want to completely re-caption the base set (5k images) with GPT-4 Vision. I expect a big leap towards prompting guidance and quality.
 
-<div align="center">
+But as you surely noticed last week, the release of Stable Cascade got in the way a bit. Therefore, my focus in the coming weeks will be on training Juggernaut for Stable Cascade. The approach remains the same as with the planned "reboot"; I want to caption/tag all images in the future only with GPT-4 or manually. The timeline for all of this is still uncertain. I hope to be able to present you with a first stable version of Juggernaut Cascade sometime in March. V10 of Juggernaut XL will follow in the weeks thereafter.
 
-<h3>Ready to generate?</h3>
+Now, here are some additional tips to make prompting easier for you:
 
-<p>Juggernaut XL v9 is one click away — no setup, no GPU rental, no model downloads.</p>
+ - Res: 832x1216
+ - Sampler: DPM++ 2M Karras
+ - Steps: 30-40 CFG: 3-7 (less is
+   a bit more realistic)
+ - Negative: Start with no negative, and add afterwards the Stuff you don't want to see in that image. I don't recommend using my Negative Prompt, i simply use it because i am lazy  :D
