    Turbo LoRA for step and CFG distillation. Use CFG 1 and 8-12 steps. Works well on other Anima checkpoints. You can decrease the LoRA strength a bit below 1 for more variety.

    Work in progress. Increases stability, anatomy, and style consistency. Details and artist style adherence are a bit worse than base.

    The ER-SDE sampler might be too noisy and fried for this lora, but it's prompt dependent. Plain Euler works well and will be more neutral and flat.

    If your images look too "slopped":

    • reduce lora weight, can go as low as 0.7 and still maintain distillation

    • remove quality tags, they aren't needed as much since a negative prompt is built in via the distillation

    • add "anime coloring" to the prompt

    Have you ever thought about collaborating with @reakaakasky regarding turbo LORAs as their CFG distilled and DMD2 RDBT - Anima Checkpoints and LORAs are great. And have been great for all the preview versions. Especially for stability, consistency and overall quality.

    This lora is amazing. One standout for me is how well it preserves the influence of artist tags. With other Anima acceleration loras I’ve tried, the effect of artist tags became noticeably weaker after applying them, but this one doesn’t seem to suffer from that issue that much.

    Some comparisons between 3 dmd2 models. link. cfg 1, steps 12, euler, seed 1,

    turbo v0.1, definitely the winner of "style consistency" and has best colors, imo. However, it seems to prefer generating images with a more orange-ish tint.

    rdbt, more green or gray-ish tint, it's also a finetuned model so I can't tell the style. But it has best details.

    cosmos r64, seems to have the best prompt adherence and very stable,

    VeerGeerApr 21, 2026

    from experience I can tell you that the cosmos-dmd LoRA is good for mixing with the others


    so the real User Preferred Speed Distillation setup is some bizarre mix of them all :' )

    I love RDBT, but I hate how bad it is with styles. If the prompt is somewhat short like 30 tokens, it basically ignores the artist tag completely, and it seems even more prone to do so if you prompt something that is NSFW. But even with longer prompts it's still a major issue, aswell as things just looking very washed out.

    Maybe it would look a lot more faithful to style if I went crazy like 1000 tokens or something, but I shouldn't have to just for the sake of getting the style I want. I have no idea why RDBT does this when style is basically the most important factor when genning.

    It's still quite fun to use if you don't care about style and want something that looks more visually pleasing (other than washed out colors) faster with what appears to be a bit better quality.

    I might use it every now and then for casual fun SFW memes or cute stuff. But the instability is just insane. I had a relatively simple prompt where it had "photorealistic" tag and it worked as expected, then I add in a couple NSFW tags and boom, SD1.5 style lol.

    Now if only anima could do some basic furry concepts. I really hope they decide to include E621 into the training data, or at least make another version with it in.

    There's so much damn potential with Anima, and to think we're only at a preview version, not a finished model or a finetune of the finished model.

    It's great, but it looks like it accelerates the early steps a lot and the model doesn't do much at later steps losing a lot of the prompted artstyle.

    Have you considered training two layered loras? First one just for late steps (say 0.6->1) and then a second one (training 0->1) on top of the base+late_lora?

    Problem - CFG 1 disables the negative prompts, and you might NEED those to improve the output. Care to make a Lightning lora instead? That sped up outputs on SDXL while still keeping CFG low and low enough for negative prompts.

    CFG 1.1 will probably work fine and allow negative prompts. You could also try NAG or one of the other no cfg negative methods.

    Best LoRa.
    No greenish-swamp tint like in RDBT.
    No artifacts in detailed objects or eyes or hair or leafs like other Turbo LoRas.
    No washed out white low contrast output like Cosmos Predict LoRa.
    Minimum alteration in artist style.

    If you play with shift below 1.0 and add some natlang descriptions to your prompt that describe the visual features of the artist style you use, then you can actually get output similar to non-distilled Anima. You can furtther finetune the texture with eta and s_noise on a sampler node to find the right balance between those and shift and your scheduler. Very impressive.

    the results definitely get worse, details are lost and color is washed but what surprised me is that the result is still consistent and faithful.

    nsfwkoreaApr 24, 2026· 2 reactions

    Same here, less details, less color, sometimes limbs are not complete but significantly faster gen speeds. Hands on hip, but no forearm just floating wrist and palm on hip. CFG1, 12Steps.

    Had i started with turbo i would have been satisfied but after experiencing what Anima is capable of, I'm just too spoiled to be satisfied with turbo. Perhaps I'm doing something wrong, perhaps its just what it is.

    As far as I can tell so far Preview 3's complex natural language prompt adherence is actually SIGNIFICANTLY better when using this lora than when not using it.

    Three things I now know(?) after trying this out:
    1. I don't understand AI at all.
    2. Magic is real and this is proof.
    3. It Just Works o_o

    Okay, jokes aside, I'm actually flabbergasted how effective this lora is. The only words I can use to describe the way it fixes anatomy and composition is... aggressively stable.

    And, like, I stress-tested it.
    Hands and fingers refuse to break even when confronted with challenging concepts (like holding chopsticks or multiple hands interacting) and being partially occluded. I can count on the hands of one finger the number of instances of sixth digit or fused fingers I've managed to spot so far.
    Perspective and composition also stay coherent at most of the camera angles and multiple views variations I tried. I have seen a few anomalous generations, but the overall consistency rate is still impressive.
    Even painterly style loras and artist tags (which are notorious for destabilising anatomy) work surprisingly well without getting overwhelmed by the style of this lora.

    If this is what preview 3 is capable of with the right tuning, I can't wait to see how far Anima still can go beyond this point >o<

    CocoLargeMay 7, 2026

    The hands looking good is a result of high accuracy on anima, this basically gives anima a mini version that is trying to replicate anima in the lightest way possible, instead of using all the data in the big model. This makes it less complex, which means it takes less steps to be more accurate. This comes at the cost of the model needing to essentially listen to itself more than it listens to your prompt, and thus being less capable at creating more complex, abstract concepts that aren't common in the data the model was trained on.

    DerpressionMay 7, 2026

    @CocoLarge Ohhh... I... still don't know if I get it. So the smushing of the Turbo lora into fewer steps results in better consistency, at the cost of constrained creativity? So it's a choice between more complex generations that allow for errors, or more rudimentary ones that don't do anything that might result in errors?

    CocoLargeMay 9, 2026

    @Derpression Not exactly. Because the turbo lora makes the model want to reach a final image quickly by simplifying data, rushing towards the training data and then asking itself if the final image looks like the training data. This method of asking itself if the image looks like the training data conflicts with cfg and can cause problems. Which is why the instructions for turbo/lightning/dmd2 ask for you to use cfg 1 (cfg 1 is equal to not having cfg turned on). The problem is, cfg helps the model follow your prompt more closely. Errors aren't really a part of this equation. Errors can either be a thing that just happens randomly, or the result of not having enough steps (aka low accuracy).

    The simplifying of the data results in the model knowing less.

    so if cfg is at 1, that means negative prompt will be ignored? please let me know.

    @AnimaXx i guess the workflow that im currently using might be a challenge for me to edit the nodes, rip. . .

    DerpressionMay 5, 2026· 3 reactions

    You can set it to 1.5, and it will still work and look largely the same (although, from what I understand, long negative prompts might not work reliably?). If some parts of your negatives still get ignored, pushing it up to 2.0 might help. Beyond that, you might start noticing some fried contrast.

    kaiMay 11, 2026

    If I understand correctly: the point of making a turbo lora that works on exactly CFG 1.0, is that it runs twice as fast as the negative attention step is skipped by comfyui (because the negative prompt doesnt do anything on cfg 1) @Derpression 

    DerpressionMay 11, 2026

    @kai That's true, although I feel like going down to 12ish steps alone already cuts down generation time enough to make the CFG difference negligible.

    And I would also argue that this lora is worth using even if you aren't taking advantage of the turbo thing at all. I've been using it on regular slow 30-40 steps + CFG 2 generations, and it's been shockingly good at stabilising their outputs, reducing anatomy and composition errors.
    Granted, I've learned that it comes with some constraints and limitations in regards to prompt adherence, but it's still been a net gain for my purposes.

    mrblue42May 14, 2026

    I've been using Anima with 35 steps, CFG 4.5 before. With the turbo lora, I've been enjoying the massive speed up, but found that the results were less to my liking, especially without being able to use negative prompts, so I've tried around and found that turbo lora, 12 steps, CFG 2.0, works perfect for me. Takes twice as long as with CFG 1.0, but still a lot faster than with 35 steps before this lora came around.

    AetherlynMay 15, 2026

    During image generation, Condition, Uncondition, and CFG in each denoising step follow the formula: Uncondition + CFG * (Condition - Uncondition). When CFG=1, substituting into the formula shows that Uncondition is canceled out, making the Negative Prompt ineffective.
