RDBT [Anima]
This is a general finetuned + distilled model.
Dataset contains ~10k handpicked images with accurate NL captions from LLM, body/hands anatomy. Does not contain any shiny plastic glossy AI image.
This model doesn't provide default style nor quality filter. It's for better stability, prompt adherence and LoRA compatibility. Some cover images look ridiculous; they're just for demonstration purposes.
I use this model as a clean starting point to stack more LoRAs.
See this page for update log and version info.
For advanced users: RDBT model is trained as LoRA natively. See this page for original LoRA.
Base model:
prefix with ym: AnimaYume (hf link) (civitai link).
prefix with b (base), p (preview): Anima pretrained (hf link)
Sharing merges using this model is not allowed. This "restriction" won't affect anyone. It's only aimed at those who steal others' models to sell. If someone is selling this model as their own, I'm happy to list them here so everyone knows.
Known model thieves: NukeA.I (selling this model behind paywall on tensorart).
I wrote a story about it. Also contains a guide for trainers about "how to bake special trigger word into your model".
Usage:
Settings:
CFG: 1~3. This model has been distilled. You can disable CFG (CFG 1) and run the model 2x faster. Cover images are without CFG for demonstration. "RenormCFG" node is highly recommended if CFG is enabled (CFG > 1), set "renorm_cfg" value to 1.1.
Steps: 16+
Sampler: Euler (best diversity), Euler a/er_sde etc. (better stability)
Res: 1MP
Prompt:
Always specify style in prompt, or use a style LoRA. Otherwise, you will get random/mixed style. This is a feature, not a bug. This model does NOT have overfitted default style (which ignores prompt and is always active).
Quality tags:
Omit ALL quality tags. You don't need those. The fine-tuning dataset has higher quality than "masterpiece". Thus quality tags don't have effects. Omitting those redundant tokens allows LLM to pay more attention on other words.

What's the benefit of this over regular Anima? Just aesthetic?
speed
Fine-tuned checkpoints such as this generally perform better than the base model depending on what do you want to make: Realism, cartoonish, Anime style, etc. It is possible to get good results with the base Anima Preview-3 but its generally harder without adding stuff like "masterpice,best quality," and "low quality, bad hands" on the negatives, so that's why people usually look for fine-tunes to get better without having your prompts become a giant wall of text.
I have been trying this checkpoint and apart from the huge generation speed boost from generating at 1-3 cfg and 8-16 steps, it has been able to work well with an anime style Anima Preview-2 LoRA (haven't trained on Preview 3 yet) that I'm working on and it gets very nice results keeping the anime aesthetic from the LoRA with the added bonus of fast generation.
