(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.
Update log and version info: link.

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".

I love how this checkpoint works right out of the box, I use it all the time!
It seems like you know every single version of these checkpoints. Can you recommend one or tell me which of them actually works? I admit I'm a bit lost when it comes to these model posts, all I know is that it's a turbo version, right?
@monicalucci Hi, I didn't use all versions of the checkpoint, I only just started with version ym0.5 v0.39 back in early June, and there is no single definitive version just yet, as far as I can tell.
You typically just try the newest model that comes out and experiment with it. Try to see if it is to your liking, and if it is any better than any other Anima model out there. Every new version is supposedly an improvement over the previous versions, but you can revert if you don't prefer it.
To answer your other question, it's technically not a turbo version by itself, since it still requires more steps and more CFG, but it's lower, faster, and more stable than other Anima models which requires something like 20-30 steps and 4-5 CFG or higher and those checkpoints could take up to 2 minutes or more depending on your setup. However, the description does encourage you to use a turbo Lora if you require faster generation times and still produce stable images with lower steps.
Also, what I like about it is the fact that you do not have to add any quality tags such as masterpiece, high quality, etc. since it's a part of the model according to the description. This makes it so much more easier and convenient since I don't have to play around with quality tags as much as other models.
