As the field of image generation progresses, we have decided to release the weights of our first generation image generation models to the public, for the purposes of research, personal use and historical preservation. Of course, they will also remain available for use on our website, but now users who want to play with them locally can freely download and use these models. The specific models we are releasing are:
• NovelAI Diffusion Anime V1 (Curated) https://huggingface.co/NovelAI/nai-anime-v1-curated
• NovelAI Diffusion Anime V1 (Full) https://huggingface.co/NovelAI/nai-anime-v1-full
• NovelAI Diffusion Furry (Beta V1.3) https://huggingface.co/NovelAI/nai-furry-beta-v1.3
The “curated” anime model was trained on a smaller, higher quality set of images, has better knowledge of pop culture and higher image quality. The “full” anime model was trained on a more comprehensive set of images, making it more flexible. Finally, we are also releasing the weights of our old furry model.Show less
Version Description
https://huggingface.co/NovelAI/nai-anime-v1-curated
This is our oldest anime model, trained on a curated dataset. We are now making the weights publicly available for research and personal use. To keep the release compact, it only contains the Unet and VAE components. If you require the other components, you can copy them into the folder from the original Stable Diffusion 1.4 release.
The model was trained using the text embeddings produced by CLIP's penultimate layer, so, depending on your inference software, you will need to set "CLIP skip" to 2.
