16-step Acc LoRA | Anima

Anima acc lora

A 16-step distillation LoRA.

Settings: CFG 1, 16 steps.

Works on any base ckpt.

It's not a better "turbo" LoRA, it's just another one, with different approach.

EDIT: About cover images:

Cover images are from my RDBT model (private version), highly stylized drawing, to demonstrate how distillation affects styles and details (losing details, there is no free lunch. And yes, I deliberately demonstrate how bad distillation could be)

When is distilled model recommended:

• If you are looking for production level drawing and textures, or have a beefy GPU. Don't use distilled model.

• If you are here for general anime styles, then this 16-step acc LoRA is OK. Most of the time you can get identical output, but 4x faster.

Difference between official turbo model:

• More entropy. More details. More natural.

• No detail/quality amplifier. Doesn't overwrite styles with a unified AI slop style. (TBH, I think this might be a bug in the official turbo. It adds artifacts and patterns. Overcooked probably.)

For users from my RBDT model:

I will stop releasing distilled RDBT ckpt from now on. I previously thought that if I distilled directly onto the fine-tuned ckpt, I could retain more detail. In reality, the difference is minimal to none. Therefore, I'm not wasting computational resources on each version.

v2.4 is trained/distilled with more compute and a much larger dataset. It has much better details than previous v2.3 distilled ckpt.
