Anima-Expanded 2.9B — BASE & Aesthetic

Layer-expanded Anima. 40 DiT blocks, 2.9B params, and it still runs on a completely normal Anima setup - native Qwen3-0.6B encoder, same VAE, no custom nodes. If you already have Anima working, this is a checkpoint swap.

Trained on roughly 4.1M images, about 50/50 anime and furry.

Two versions in this drop:

BASE - the plain expanded model. Neutral, does what you prompt and nothing you didn't ask for. This is the one for stacking your own LoRAs, or for comparing against your usual Anima 2B.
