# 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()`
