Anima-2.9B is a depth-expanded finetune of Anima 1.0 Base carrying 40
transformer blocks against the base repo's 28. The reference entry points at
the Diffusers conversion. Single-file releases load through the native loader:
TransformerSpec gains an infer_config hook, the Anima spec uses it to size
num_layers to the block indices in the file, and model_anima routes a
checkpoint-selected safetensors through the loader with the remaining
components from the base repo.
allow_shared=False predates the Qwen-3 0.5B entries in shared_te_map, so
every Anima repo downloaded its own copy of the text encoder. Remove it
so all variants share the canonical Anima-1.0-Base text encoder.
217-line bespoke loader collapses to a 40-line ANIMA_SPEC in
pipelines/anima/__init__.py (Cosmos converter + llm_adapter sibling +
Cosmos 1.0 forbidden marker).
Drop the class-keyed REGISTRY: Anima and raw Cosmos share
CosmosTransformer3DModel but need different specs. Specs pass via
explicit native_spec= kwarg; make_default_spec(cls) covers the
auto-converter case.
Anima community files bundle the llm_adapter inline alongside the
transformer, so CosmosTransformer3DModel.from_single_file mangles the
118 adapter keys via Cosmos 2.0 substring renames. New helper reads the
safetensors, strips the BFL-style prefix variants, partitions adapter
keys out, runs the rest through diffusers' converter, and loads each
half into its target. SDNQ and layerwise quantization honored; TRT and
GGUF skipped.
- Relax sd_detect to match 'anima' without requiring 'cosmos' in name
- Use hf_hub_download for custom pipeline.py and adapter modules
- Register custom modules in sys.modules for Diffusers trust_remote_code
- Pass trust_remote_code=True to from_pretrained
- Map AnimaTextToImage to 'cosmos' model type for TAESD preview support
Anima replaces the Cosmos T5-11B text encoder with Qwen3-0.6B + a
6-layer LLM adapter and uses CONST preconditioning instead of EDM.
- Add pipelines/model_anima.py loader with dynamic import of custom
AnimaTextToImagePipeline and AnimaLLMAdapter from model repo
- Register 'Anima' pipeline in shared_items.py
- Add name-based detection in sd_detect.py
- Fix list-format _class_name handling in guess_by_diffusers()
- Wire loader in sd_models.py load_diffuser_force()
- Skip noise_pred callback injection for Anima (uses velocity instead)
- Add output_type='np' override in processing_args.py
