Tested on M1 Max 64GB ComfyUI: Anima-Base v1.0 matches preview3-base in speed; WAI-Anima kana LoRA hits 22% on light prompts but 67% with hood+robe+embroidery added.
How the de-distill training adapter works for Z-Image-Turbo LoRA learning, SDXL LoRA incompatibility with Z-Image, and caption considerations specific to the Z-Image ecosystem.
Three local image generation engines (WAI-Anima, WAI-IL/SDXL, FLUX.2 Klein 4B) tied together by a thin FastAPI wrapper that takes Japanese prompts. Ollama (gemma3:12b) handles JP→EN, ComfyUI workflows are built on the fly in Python, FLUX.2 runs as an mflux subprocess, and the whole thing is reachable from an iPhone over Tailscale.
Confirmed SeeSee21/Z-Anime is a full fine-tune of Z-Image Base, then ran the AIO version on local ComfyUI on an M1 Max 64GB to verify t2i, i2i, and how NSFW prompts pass through.
A verification log for converting color anime-style AI illustrations to manga-style monochrome. AI re-generation approaches lean to either color leakage or face drift, and pure deterministic local processing looks mechanical. Frames the next directions to try: putting a grayscale-only LoRA on Anima, and using See-through for part decomposition before mechanical composition.
Took 53 cleaned images prepared for WAI-IL and trained a WAI-Anima character LoRA with AnimaLoraToolkit + RunPod. Training itself ran for $1.22, but at inference the side ponytail direction wouldn't shift with Danbooru tags or natural language. Verification record showing the issue is a directional bias inherited from Anima base (preview3-base onward).
WAI-Illustrious SDXL v17 tested on M1 Max 64GB ComfyUI against v16 with the same seed. Hires fix now auto-corrects hands and feet, the four rating tags (general/sensitive/nsfw/explicit) still drive NSFW output, and v16-trained LoRAs mostly carry over — with one case where they don't.
Tested WAI-Anima v1 on Windows + RTX 4060 Laptop GPU (8GB VRAM). Headless execution via ComfyUI API hit a tqdm OSError on startup, but launching ComfyUI normally generates a single image in 55 seconds. Includes the workaround and timing notes.
Tested WAI-Anima v1 on M1 Max 64GB ComfyUI against WAI-Illustrious and Anima preview3-base. Verdict: WAI0731's Anima derivative bridges the two, with notes on the LoRA toolkit, text encoder upgrades, and how the Anima ecosystem evolved in two months.
Testing See-through for anime character PSD decomposition: 23 generated layers, front/back hair separation, hidden-area inpainting, and what LayerDiff + Marigold actually produced from a single illustration.
Diagnosed a 7x speed regression for Qwen Image Edit on M1 Max 64GB ComfyUI after an update. Root cause: MPS BF16 matmul runs ~2x slower than FP16, compounded by an FP16 attention bug. Benchmark numbers and the working fix.
Why ComfyUI breaks on NVIDIA Blackwell (sm_120) GPUs with 'no kernel image is available for execution' errors, and a working setup using PyTorch Nightly, xformers removal, SageAttention, and NVFP4 quantization. Tested on RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell.
