As someone who can already run most of the larger models (RTX 5090) I'm extremely glad I gave Anima Base a chance

I'll be honest. I didn't expect much from a 2B parameter model. I had initially written it off as being not worth the time simply because I had access to such powerful models with much higher parameter counts. I didn't see how it could possibly outdo what I already had. But wow, they really did one hell of a job on this, and I find that it produces better anime images (with easier prompting) than most of what's out there. It doesn't suffer from a lot of the NLP problems where you get near identical outputs each time.
