Hello, everyone! Cagliostro Research Lab DevRel here~
We would like to share some details about our current situation and planning for the future. Hopefully this will shed a light on what we're doing for past months and problem that we're facing. We like to invite you to read our first developer note on our website to fully understand our points. Thanks for your time~

To summarize, after we released Animagine-XL v3.1, we were focusing more on the research; trying to figure out the better training method and improve the quality and filtering process for dataset curation. During the absence of this project, we also had given our two new model trainers the spotlight for their own models. Now, we have several plans for our next models, detailed on the note. Of course, this is still Subject to Changes, depending on how well the training goes. But, since our resource and budget are limited, we are opening up a Ko-Fi page as the way to raise a crowdfunding for our project. We appreciate any amounts of support, both morally and financially!
Thank you for taking your time to read the article. We will try to give more updates regularly with more dev notes to come. Cheers~
