the waifu diffusion 1.4 anime model is almost done! here's some samples. it is based off of Stable Diffusion 2.1 and was finetuned a lot on anime and high aesthetic imagery.

the final checkpoint has been released! it can be downloaded here: https://t.co/ypECB2gn13
documentation and release notes coming soon...
some comparisons between SD 1.4, WD 1.2, and WD 1.3 epoch 9 (it's almost done!)
