Despite being a continuation, the model was retrained from [Stable Diffusion XL 1.0](https://huggingface.co/stabilityai/stable-diffusion-xl-base-1.0) with a massive dataset of 8.4M diverse anime-style images from various sources with the knowledge cut-off of January 7th 2025 and finetuned for approximately 2650 GPU hours. Similar to the previous version, this model was trained using tag ordering method for the identity and style training. ## Model Details - **Developed by**: [Cagliostro Research Lab](https://github.com/cagliostrolab) - **Model type**: Diffusion-based text-to-image generative model - **License**: [CreativeML Open RAIL++-M](https://huggingface.co/stabilityai/stable-diffusion-xl-base-1.0/blob/main/LICENSE.md) - **Model Description**: This is a model that can be used to generate and modify specifically anime-themed images based on text prompt - **Fine-tuned from**: [Stable Diffusion XL 1.0](https://huggingface.co/stabilityai/stable-diffusion-xl-base-1.0) ## Downstream Use 1. Use this model in our [`Hugging Face Spaces`](https://huggingface.co/spaces/cagliostrolab/animagine-xl-4.0) 2. Use it in [`ComfyUI`](https://github.com/comfyanonymous/ComfyUI) or [`Stable Diffusion Webui`](https://github.com/AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui) 3. Use it with 🧨 `diffusers` ## 🧨 Diffusers Installation ### 1. Install Required Libraries ```bash pip install diffusers transformers accelerate safetensors --upgrade ``` ### 2. Example Code The example below uses `lpw_stable_diffusion_xl` pipeline which enables better handling of long, weighted and detailed prompts. The model is already uploaded in FP16 format, so there's no need to specify `variant="fp16"` in the `from_pretrained` call. ```python import torch from diffusers import StableDiffusionXLPipeline pipe = StableDiffusionXLPipeline.from_pretrained( "cagliostrolab/animagine-xl-4.0", torch_dtype=torch.float16, use_safetensors=True, custom_pipeline="lpw_stable_diffusion_xl", add_watermarker=False ) pipe.to('cuda') prompt = "1girl, arima kana, oshi no ko, hoshimachi suisei, hoshimachi suisei \(1st costume\), cosplay, looking at viewer, smile, outdoors, night, v, masterpiece, high score, great score, absurdres" negative_prompt = "lowres, bad anatomy, bad hands, text, error, missing finger, extra digits, fewer digits, cropped, worst quality, low quality, low score, bad score, average score, signature, watermark, username, blurry" image = pipe( prompt, negative_prompt=negative_prompt, width=832, height=1216, guidance_scale=6, num_inference_steps=25 ).images[0] image.save("./arima_kana.png") ``` ## Usage Guidelines ### 1. Prompt Structure The model was trained with tag-based captions and the tag-ordering method. Use this structured template: ``` 1girl/1boy/1other, character name, from which series, everything else in any order. ``` ### 2. Quality Enhancement Tags Add these tags at the start or end of your prompt: ``` masterpiece, high score, great score, absurdres ``` ### 3. Recommended Negative Prompt ``` lowres, bad anatomy, bad hands, text, error, missing finger, extra digits, fewer digits, cropped, worst quality, low quality, low score, bad score, average score, signature, watermark, username, blurry ``` ### 4. Optimal Settings - **CFG Scale**: 5-7 (6 Recommended) - **Sampling Steps**: 25-28 (25 Recommended) - **Preferred Sampler**: Euler Ancestral (Euler a) ### 5. Recommended Resolutions | Orientation | Dimensions | Aspect Ratio | |------------|------------|--------------| | Square | 1024 x 1024| 1:1 | | Landscape | 1152 x 896 | 9:7 | | | 1216 x 832 | 3:2 | | | 1344 x 768 | 7:4 | | | 1536 x 640 | 12:5 | | Portrait | 896 x 1152 | 7:9 | | | 832 x 1216 | 2:3 | | | 768 x 1344 | 4:7 | | | 640 x 1536 | 5:12 | ### 6. Final Prompt Structure Example ``` masterpiece, high score, great score, absurdres, 1girl, firefly \(honkai: star rail\), honkai \(series\), honkai: star rail, casual, solo, looking at viewer, outdoors, smile, reaching towards viewer, night ``` ## Special Tags The model supports various special tags that can be used to control different aspects of the image generation process. These tags are carefully weighted and tested to provide consistent results across different prompts. ### Quality Tags Quality tags are fundamental controls that directly influence the overall image quality and detail level. Available quality tags: - `masterpiece` - `best quality` - `low quality` - `worst quality` | | | |---|---| | Sample image using `"masterpiece, best quality"` quality tags with negative prompt left empty. | Sample image using `"low quality, worst quality"` quality tags with negative prompt left empty. | ### Score Tags Score tags provide a more nuanced control over image quality compared to basic quality tags. They have a stronger impact on steering output quality in this model. Available score tags: - `high score` - `great score` - `good score` - `average score` - `bad score` - `low score` | | | |---|---| | Sample image using `"high score, great score"` score tags with negative prompt left empty. | Sample image using `"bad score, low score"` score tags with negative prompt left empty. | ### Temporal Tags Temporal tags allow you to influence the artistic style based on specific time periods or years. This can be useful for generating images with era-specific artistic characteristics. Supported year tags: - `year 2005` - `year {n}` - `year 2025` | | | |---|---| | Sample image of Hatsune Miku with `"year 2007"` temporal tag. | Sample image of Hatsune Miku with `"year 2023"` temporal tag. | ### Rating Tags Rating tags help control the content safety level of generated images. These tags should be used responsibly and in accordance with applicable laws and platform policies. Supported ratings: - `safe` - `sensitive` - `nsfw` - `explicit` ## Training Information The model was trained using state-of-the-art hardware and optimized hyperparameters to ensure the highest quality output.

Why do we use Cryptocurrency? When we initially opened fundraising through Ko-fi and using PayPal as withdrawal methods, our PayPal account was flagged and eventually banned, despite our efforts to explain the purpose of our project. Unfortunately, this forced us to refund all donations and left us without a reliable way to receive support. To avoid such issues and ensure transparency, we have now switched to cryptocurrency as the way to raise the fund.
Want to Donate in Non-Crypto Currency? Although we had a bad experience with Paypal, and you’d like to support us but prefer not to use cryptocurrency, feel free to contact us via [Discord Server](https://discord.gg/cqh9tZgbGc) for alternative donation methods.
