Questions About animagine-xl-3.1

How much GPU memory does animagine-xl-3.1 need?

About 6.2 GB at 16-bit and 1.5 GB at 4-bit: the weights (2.6B parameters) plus a working margin. A long context needs more.

What is the cheapest GPU to run animagine-xl-3.1 on?

At 16-bit, 1x MI300X from $1.85 an hour; at 4-bit, 1x MI300X from $1.85 an hour, at the lowest on-demand prices the SAVRN Index lists.

Can I use animagine-xl-3.1 commercially?

Yes, with conditions. animagine-xl-3.1 is released under Open RAIL++ License. Open RAIL++ permits use, including commercial use, subject to the use-based restrictions listed in the license, which must be passed on to downstream users.

Similar Models

SDXL consists of an ensemble of experts pipeline for latent diffusion: In a first step, the base model is used to generate (noisy) latents, which are then further processed with a refinement model (available here: https://huggingface.co/stabilityai/stable-diffusion-xl-refiner-1.0/) specialized for the final denoising steps. Note that the base model can be used as a standalone module. Alternatively, we can use a two-stage pipeline as follows: First, the base model is used to generate latents of the desired output size. In the second step, we use a specialized high-resolution model and apply a technique called SDEdit (https://arxiv.org/abs/2108.01073, also known as "img2img") to the latents…

Stability AI

SDXL-Turbo is a fast generative text-to-image model that can synthesize photorealistic images from a text prompt in a single network evaluation. A real-time demo is available here: http://clipdrop.co/stable-diffusion-turbo Please note: For commercial use, please refer to https://stability.ai/license. SDXL-Turbo is a distilled version of SDXL 1.0, trained for real-time synthesis. SDXL-Turbo is based on a novel training method called Adversarial Diffusion Distillation (ADD) (see the technical report), which allows sampling large-scale foundational image diffusion models in 1 to 4 steps at high image quality. This approach uses score distillation to leverage large-scale off-the-shelf image…

Cagliostro Labs

Animagine XL 4.0, also stylized as Anim4gine, is the ultimate anime-themed finetuned SDXL model and the latest installment of Animagine XL series. Despite being a continuation, the model was retrained from Stable Diffusion XL 1.0 with a massive dataset of 8.4M diverse anime-style images from various sources with the knowledge cut-off of January 7th 2025 and finetuned for approximately 2650 GPU hours. Similar to the previous version, this model was trained using tag ordering method for the identity and style training. With the release of Animagine XL 4.0 Opt (Optimized), the model has been further refined with an additional dataset, improving stability, anatomy accuracy, noise reduction…

This is an image generation model based on training from Illustrious-xl. It utilizes the latest full Danbooru and e621 datasets for training, with native tags caption. For quality tags, we evaluated image popularity through the following process: - Data normalization based on various sources and ratings. - Application of time-based decay coefficients according to date recency. - Ranking of images within the entire dataset based on this processing. Our ultimate goal is to ensure that quality tags effectively track user preferences in recent years. - Latest Danbooru images up to the training date(for v1.0,it mean approximately before 2024-10-23) - E621 images e621-2024-webp-4Mpixel dataset on…
