(22/10/2026): v3.0 should be the final version for Anima. Next: MOSS Image (aka. The greatest anime model that has ever been released.). Here.
RDBT [Anima]
A general finetuned model, from a personal all-in-one dataset, mainly for digital art and drawings, focusing on lighting and textures, from wallpaper level digital art to 5-min sketch.
Dataset contains ~10k images, handpicked by professional amateur artists. The criteria for evaluation are not visual appeal, but the drawing technique and the level of completion. Captioned by LLM.
Some cover images look ridiculous; they're just for demonstration purposes for corner cases.

RDBT | Digital Art: My merged 16-step ckpt optimized for digital anime art. 4x faster. Easy to prompt.
RDBT | Original LoRA: LoRA files for advanced users.
16-step Acc LoRA: Style friendly, less AI slop, compared to the official Turbo.
RDBT | 160KE6 Furry: Based on 160kE6Anima by @garaggge. 160kE6Anima "was trained on around 160k images from e621". It has extended knowledge and 3k+ style tags. Check its model page above for more info (list of styles, etc.).
Settings:
Base version: CFG 4 and steps 24+. Euler.
Distilled version(8s, 16s, discontinued): CFG: 1. Steps: 8 or 16. Euler.
Prompt:
Always specify @style in prompt, or use a style LoRA. This model does NOT provide overfitted default style (ignore prompt and is always active). You need to specify style in prompt, or use a style LoRA. This is a feature, not a bug. The dataset is big enough and model is not overfitted. Otherwise, you will get random/mixed style.
Quality tags:
You don't need quality tags. The 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.
Sharing merges using this model is not allowed.
This mode is a free and it will always be free. This "restriction" won't affect anyone. It's only aimed at those who steal others' models to sell.
Known model thieves: NukeA.I (selling this model behind paywall on tensorart).
Because he is such a jerk I wrote a story about it. Also contains a guide for trainers about "how to bake special trigger word into your model".

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.
