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.

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.
