I know most of you guys are fixated on Chroma right now but it seems like for anime models, pickings are slim with the paywall and a new model beyond Illustrious 2.0 being out of reach. I was browsing through things and apparently, some people are starting to take it in a different direction. I discovered there is a Chinese team trying to fine tune Lumina 2.0 for anime and they have taken it farther than the fine tune Illustrious did for their alpha.

Their training progress checkpoints are here and it is still in progress.

Seems like early stages but it looks like some people are getting some mileage out of it. Unfortunately, I think I need to make a separate account to get access with it locked behind the agreement on HF.
