Model Description: This is a model that excels in creating detailed and high-quality anime images from text descriptions. It's fine-tuned to understand and interpret a wide range of descriptive prompts, turning them into stunning visual art.
License: CreativeML Open RAIL++-M License
Finetuned from model: Stable Diffusion XL 1.0

LoRA Collection

The Animagine XL 2.0 model is complemented by an impressive suite of LoRA (Low-Rank Adaptation) adapters, each designed to imbue the generated images with unique stylistic attributes. This collection of adapters allows users to customize the aesthetic of their creations to match specific art styles, ranging from the vivid and bright Pastel Style to the intricate and ornate Anime Nouveau.

Gradio & Colab Integration

Animagine XL is accessible via Gradio Web UI and Google Colab, offering user-friendly interfaces for image generation:

🧨 Diffusers Installation

Ensure the installation of the latest diffusers library, along with other essential packages:

pip install diffusers --upgrade
pip install transformers accelerate safetensors

The following Python script demonstrates how to do inference with Animagine XL 2.0. The default scheduler in the model config is EulerAncestralDiscreteScheduler, but it can be explicitly defined for clarity.

import torch
from diffusers import (
    StableDiffusionXLPipeline, 
    EulerAncestralDiscreteScheduler,
    AutoencoderKL
)

# Load VAE component
vae = AutoencoderKL.from_pretrained(
    "madebyollin/sdxl-vae-fp16-fix", 
    torch_dtype=torch.float16
)

# Configure the pipeline
pipe = StableDiffusionXLPipeline.from_pretrained(
    "Linaqruf/animagine-xl-2.0", 
    vae=vae,
    torch_dtype=torch.float16, 
    use_safetensors=True, 
    variant="fp16"
)
pipe.scheduler = EulerAncestralDiscreteScheduler.from_config(pipe.scheduler.config)
pipe.to('cuda')

# Define prompts and generate image
prompt = "face focus, cute, masterpiece, best quality, 1girl, green hair, sweater, looking at viewer, upper body, beanie, outdoors, night, turtleneck"
negative_prompt = "lowres, bad anatomy, bad hands, text, error, missing fingers, extra digit, fewer digits, cropped, worst quality, low quality, normal quality, jpeg artifacts, signature, watermark, username, blurry"

image = pipe(
    prompt, 
    negative_prompt=negative_prompt, 
    width=1024,
    height=1024,
    guidance_scale=12,
    num_inference_steps=50
).images[0]

Usage Guidelines

Prompt Guidelines

Animagine XL 2.0 responds effectively to natural language descriptions for image generation. For example:

A girl with mesmerizing blue eyes looks at the viewer. Her long, white hair is adorned with blue butterfly hair ornaments.

However, to achieve optimal results, it's recommended to use Danbooru-style tagging in your prompts, as the model is trained with images labeled using these tags. For instance:

1girl, green hair, sweater, looking at viewer, upper body, beanie, outdoors, night, turtleneck

This model incorporates quality and rating modifiers during dataset processing, influencing image generation based on specified criteria:

Quality Modifiers

Quality Modifier	Score Criterion
masterpiece	>150
best quality	100-150
high quality	75-100
medium quality	25-75
normal quality	0-25
low quality	-5-0
worst quality	<-5

Rating Modifiers

Rating Modifier	Rating Criterion
-	general
-	sensitive
nsfw	questionable
nsfw	explicit

To guide the model towards generating high-aesthetic images, use negative prompts like:

lowres, bad anatomy, bad hands, text, error, missing fingers, extra digit, fewer digits, cropped, worst quality, low quality, normal quality, jpeg artifacts, signature, watermark, username, blurry

For higher quality outcomes, prepend prompts with:

masterpiece, best quality

Quality Tags Comparison

This table presents a detailed comparison to illustrate how training quality tags can significantly influence the outcomes of generative results. It showcases various attributes, both positive and negative, demonstrating the impact of quality tags in steering the generation of visual content.

Personal Use: Anime enthusiasts can use Animagine XL 2.0 to bring their imaginative concepts to life, creating personalized artwork based on their favorite genres and styles.

Limitations

The Animagine XL 2.0 model, while advanced in its capabilities, has certain limitations that users should be aware of:

Style Bias: The model exhibits a bias towards a specific art style, as it was fine-tuned using approximately 80,000 images with a similar aesthetic. This may limit the diversity in the styles of generated images.
Rendering Challenges: There are occasional inaccuracies in rendering hands or feet, which may not always be depicted with high fidelity.
Realism Constraint: Animagine XL 2.0 is not designed for generating realistic images, given its focus on anime-style content.
Natural Language Limitations: The model may not perform optimally when prompted with natural language descriptions, as it is tailored more towards anime-specific terminologies and styles.
Dataset Scope: Currently, the model is primarily effective in generating content related to the 'Honkai' series and 'Genshin Impact' due to the dataset's scope. Expansion to include more diverse concepts is planned for future iterations.
NSFW Content Generation: The model is not proficient in generating NSFW content, as it was not a focus during the training process, aligning with the intention to promote safe and appropriate content generation.
