His videos on SDXL models, Stable Diffusion samplers, and Best SD1.5 Model for hands were very helpful.

Best Models for Playground AI (And most other platforms):

Realism: NightVision XL (SDXL), Realistic Vision (SD1.5) – Good for portraits, objects, and landscapes
Digital art: Dreamshaper XL (SDXL), Dreamshaper 8 (SD1.5) – Dreamshaper is good for close-ups of subjects, especially humans but also animals and other objects.
Fantasy: Mysterious V4 (SDXL), ReVAnimated (SD1.5) – Good for all round fantasy, Mysterious V4 is especially good for a blend between anime and fantasy.
Anime: Counterfeit XL V1 (SDXL), Counterfeit V3 (SD1.5)

NOTE: Dynavision XL, and Deliberate 1.1 (not 2) are also good models but they are not in Playground, if you are comfortable using Civit AI, I reccomend checking out Dynavision XL, which is especially good for generating stylized or 3D renders.
