AnimagineXL v4

**Overview**

**Animagine XL 4.0**, also stylized as **Anim4gine**, is the ultimate anime-themed finetuned SDXL model and the latest installment in the **Animagine XL** series. Despite being a continuation, the model was retrained from **Stable Diffusion XL 1.0** using a massive dataset of 8.4 million diverse anime-style images from various sources, with a knowledge cut-off of **January 7, 2025**, and fine-tuned for approximately **2,650 GPU hours**. Like its predecessor, this model was trained using the tag ordering method for identity and style consistency.

With the release of **Animagine XL 4.0 Opt** (Optimized), the model has been further refined with an additional dataset, enhancing its performance for general use. This update brings several improvements:

- Better stability for more consistent outputs

- Enhanced anatomy with more accurate proportions

- Reduced noise and artifacts in generations

- Fixed low saturation issues, resulting in richer colors

- Improved color accuracy for more visually appealing results

This optimized version ensures higher-quality outputs while maintaining the signature style and flexibility of the **Animagine XL** series.

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 negative experience with PayPal, if you'd like to support us but prefer not to use cryptocurrency, feel free to reach out to us via our Discord Server for alternative donation methods or through GitHub Sponsors
