An MXFP8 copy of LyloGummy's Anima 3.8B v1.1 (https://civarchive.com/models/2880480) for ComfyUI.
5.6 GB instead of 8.8 GB, and about 1.25 times faster per image on an RTX 5080. Same bundle as the
original (the 52-block DiT plus the Semantic Connector v2); only the large DiT projections are
8-bit. Not an official CircleStone Labs or LyloGummy release.

**What was changed.** The self-attention, cross-attention and MLP projection weights of all 52 DiT
blocks (520 tensors) were converted to MXFP8: FP8 E4M3 values with one shared scale per 32
values. Everything else is unchanged bf16, including llm_adapter and the Semantic Connector v2.

**Requirements**

- An RTX 50-series GPU for the speedup. Other GPUs load the file but run it dequantized, according
  to ComfyUI's documentation (only an RTX 5080 was tested).
- ComfyUI (tested with 0.42.1).
- The GumGum10/comfyui-anima-3-8B custom node (https://github.com/GumGum10/comfyui-anima-3-8B)
  with a small patch: without it, the anima.3-8B-v2 loader stops with
  "AttributeError: 'Linear' object has no attribute 'weight'" on quantized checkpoints. The patch
  and instructions are in the GitHub repository
  (https://github.com/lepetitprince716-prog/anima-3.8b-mxfp8).
- The same text encoders and VAE as the original v1.1: qwen_3_06b_base, qwen35_4b and
  qwen_image_vae.

**Usage.** Put the file in ComfyUI/models/diffusion_models, install and patch the node, restart
ComfyUI, and load the workflow from the GitHub repository. Samples: 832×1216, 28 steps, CFG 7,
res_multistep with the beta scheduler, no LoRA.

**Speed.** RTX 5080, ComfyUI 0.42.1 with --use-sage-attention --fast fp16_accumulation, 832×1216,
28 steps, CFG 7, warm, including VAE decode: 14.00 s per image for the original, 11.19 s for this
file. With --fast fp16_accumulation ComfyUI runs the original as fp16 with fp16 accumulation, the
fastest baseline on GeForce cards; the bf16 case was not measured.

**Quality.** The same seed does not reproduce the original image; pose and framing can change.
A same-seed comparison is on the Hugging Face page
