| | # Anima Preview V2 — Diffusers Conversion |
| |
|
| | Unofficial diffusers-format conversion of [circlestone-labs/Anima](https://huggingface.co/circlestone-labs/Anima) **Preview V2** for use with [SD.Next](https://github.com/vladmandic/sdnext). |
| |
|
| | ## What Is This |
| |
|
| | This repo contains the **Preview V2** weights converted to the HuggingFace diffusers layout so they can be loaded directly with `from_pretrained`. The custom pipeline (`AnimaTextToImagePipeline`) and all non-transformer components (text encoder, VAE, tokenizers, LLM adapter, scheduler) are identical to the [Preview V1 diffusers conversion](https://huggingface.co/CalamitousFelicitousness/Anima-sdnext-diffusers) — only the transformer (diffusion model) weights differ. |
| |
|
| | ## Preview V2 Improvements |
| |
|
| | From the upstream model card: |
| |
|
| | - **Retraining with better hyperparameters** — makes the model more robust to finetuning |
| | - **Extended medium-resolution training** — longer training at medium resolutions for more character knowledge |
| | - **Regularization dataset** — improves natural language comprehension and preserves non-anime knowledge |
| | - **Base model philosophy** — no aesthetic tuning; maximum knowledge breadth over aesthetic consistency |
| |
|
| | ## Usage with SD.Next |
| |
|
| | Select this repo as your model in SD.Next — it will be loaded automatically via the Anima pipeline. |
| |
|
| | ## Generation Settings |
| |
|
| | - **Resolution**: ~1 MP (1024×1024, 896×1152, 1152×896, etc.) |
| | - **Steps**: 30–50 |
| | - **CFG**: 4–5 |
| | - **Samplers**: `er_sde` (default), `euler_a`, `dpmpp_2m_sde_gpu` |
| |
|
| | ## Credits |
| |
|
| | - **Model**: [CircleStone Labs](https://huggingface.co/circlestone-labs) & [Comfy Org](https://huggingface.co/comfyanonymous) |
| | - **Architecture**: Derivative of [NVIDIA Cosmos-Predict2-2B](https://huggingface.co/nvidia/Cosmos-Predict2-2B-Text2Image) with Qwen3-0.6B text encoder |
| | - **Conversion**: Automated via `diffusers.CosmosTransformer3DModel.from_single_file()` |
