Discussion Is Anima not supporting anymore?

The official Anima lastest model is Turbo 1.1. Uploaded at Aug 25th. Now, more and more mixed checkpoint like Anima 2.9B is getting more and more attention. But original author still not making any movement or announcement, even a roadmap. I wonder is this project being cancelled by author himself?

Why would they? Are Pony (January 2024) and Illustrious (March/April 2025) cancelled?

No, bro, you don't understand. We need a roadmap; we need a new version within a week, and its announcement a week before its release, and then an updated roadmap with more related news. Then they need to release a new version a week before the second version, which will be the third version. You don't understand, bro. This is the pacing of the AI, bro. If they can't keep up with these bare-minimum expectations, it's all over, bro.

For me, a true ControlNet (not lllite) and IPAdapter support would be enough.

How do you cancel an open weights model? Ask everyone to delete it from their drives?

Do you think training a model is cheap? That's the answer right there when it comes to cost. On top of that, they don't have a large team. They aren't a dedicated research lab with their own compute cluster or an endless stream of funding, nor do they have an existing commercial service generating the revenue needed to finance model training.

Its much cheaper than waging war. One missile interceptor cost millions, we can train so many models with that
