Anima AI models
Anima is an open anime-first image model from Circle Labs built on the Cosmos architecture: light, fast and trained on Danbooru-style tags with natural-language support, so it understands artist tags and character names the way Illustrious does but on a new base. The catalog lists the Anima checkpoints and the hundreds of character, artist and style LoRAs trained for it; the Anima guides on this site cover the tag system and the quirks.

Anima: light, fast, slightly unruly
An anime, manga and illustration model that is the antithesis of Z-Image Turbo: 2 billion parameters, 4 GB, fast on modest GPUs, natural language and Danbooru tags in the same prompt, and happiest when given room to be creative. By Chris Green of Diffusion Doodles.
