# NovelAI Diffusion Anime V1 (Curated)

This is our oldest anime model, trained on a curated dataset. We are now making
the weights publicly available for research and personal use. To keep the
release compact, it only contains the Unet and VAE components. If you require
the other components, you can copy them into the folder from the original
[Stable Diffusion 1.4](https://huggingface.co/CompVis/stable-diffusion-v1-4)
release.

The model was trained using the text embeddings produced by CLIP's penultimate
layer, so, depending on your inference software, you will need to set "CLIP
skip" to 2.
