New anime model "Anima" released - seems to be a distinct architecture derived from Cosmos 2 (2B image model + Qwen3 0.6B text encoder + Qwen VAE), apparently a collab between ComfyOrg and a company called Circlestone Labs

Just 4 days after release, Z-Image Base ties Flux Klein 9b for # of LoRAs on Civitai.

This model is taking off like I've never seen, it has already caught up to Flux Klein 9b after only 4 days at a staggering 150 LoRAs in just 4 days.

Also half the Klein 9b LoRAs are all from one user, the Z-Image community is much broader with more individual contributors

Trained a Z Image Base LoRA on photos I took on my Galaxy Nexus (for that 2010s feel)

subject transfer / replacement are pretty neat in Klein (with some minor annoyance)

Is Illustrious still the best for anime?

The Lora I like is only available in Illustrious, and is working ok, but are there any other model worth using? Is it hard to train my own lora in these new models?
