CFG Scale
Classifier-Free Guidance scale — a slider controlling how strictly a diffusion model follows your prompt versus doing its own thing. Low values (1-4) give the model creative freedom and often more natural-looking images; high values (10+) force literal prompt adherence but can oversaturate colors and fry fine details. The sweet spot for most models sits around 5-8. Practical use: if the model ignores parts of your prompt, nudge CFG up; if images look burnt, harsh, or overcooked, bring it down. Think of it as the obedience dial.
