Anime Artist Style Embedder

This Space runs artist-style retrieval with the included DINOv3-based model and base prototype bank.

Runtime Assets

• artifacts/style_training_dinov3/best.pt
• artifacts/style_training_dinov3/artist_prototypes.pt
• artifacts/pretrained/dinov3/dinov3_vits16_pretrain_lvd1689m-08c60483.pth
• third_party/dinov3/
• yolov5_anime/ with the compact weights/yolov5s_anime.pt
• anime-eyes-cascade.xml

The larger yolov5x_anime.pt is intentionally not bundled to keep the Space repository under the 1GB upload limit. The bundled yolov5s_anime.pt is used by default. To use x instead, upload it to an attached Storage Bucket mounted at /data, for example:

/data/assets/yolov5x_anime.pt

That is the default path used by this Space. To use another path, set:

YOLO_WEIGHTS=/data/assets/yolov5x_anime.pt

The same override pattern is available for:

• ARTIST_STYLE_CHECKPOINT
• ARTIST_PROTOTYPES
• DINOV3_ROOT
• DINOV3_WEIGHTS
• YOLO_ANIME_ROOT
• YOLO_WEIGHTS
• EYE_CASCADE

Added Artists

Base artists are read-only. Artists added from the Space UI are stored separately under:

• /data/custom_store when persistent storage is mounted
• custom_store/ otherwise

For durable user-added artists on Hugging Face Spaces, enable persistent storage or set up an external Dataset-backed sync before public use.

Licenses

This Space includes DINOv3 materials under the DINOv3 License. The optional auto-crop pipeline uses yolov5_anime and Haar Cascade Anime Eye Detector materials, both under GPL-3.0. See the upstream license files in the bundled third-party folders.
