If you like anime artists, there is this: https://rentry.co/NAIDv3artisttagtest, a list of 470 artists using the last model of NovelAI (this time they trained their model without removing artist names).

Fun fact, this model is based on SDXL, finetuned probably on a cluster of H100s (from coreweave).

The consensus seems to be that the lack of open source SDXL anime fine tunes is simply due to laziness and lack of resources from the interested parties in the community. Datasets like from the boorus are already floating around online to train on. Always funny to see that furries are ahead of weeaboos in the war for the best open source nsfw generator

I think it’s more that SD 1.5 is already fine for most purposes (and much, much faster)

Just don’t see any difference in results except them taking 4x longer.

Well to be honest I don't really know what's the best furry SD XL model out there but recently this model has been released: https://huggingface.co/cagliostrolab/animagine-xl-3.0, it's probably far from the NovelAI checkpoint but I would be curious to know how it compares to the furry model you're talking about.

It’s an interesting example of a new technology that is inferior to the old one because the old one is superior in important ways (speed, ease of manipulation, and established toolsets).

Lots of people (including potential trainers) struggle with SDXL I think. It just doesn't give you good results if you shove it into SD 1.5 frameworks and prompt it like SD 1.5.
