[News] Fast, Sharp, and Tiny: Introducing the New AnimeVideo-Mini Model

In the NEXT update, a new Anime Video Upscaling Model, AnimeVideo-Mini-W2xEX, will be added. This model aims to achieve fast anime upscaling while preserving decent detail reconstruction and denoising ability.

Speed:

This AnimeVideo-Mini model is as fast as the Omni-Mini model

Quality:

To achieve high-quality anime upscaling with such a tiny model, I trained AnimeVideo-Mini using a large amount of synthetic data generated from a high-quality and diverse anime dataset.

And the anime upscaling quality of this model is significantly better than Anime4K and RTX Super-Res, coming close to AnimeVideoV3.

This model is trained to handle both image and video compression.

And this is only the first version of AnimeVideo-Mini model. I'm still working on pushing this tiny model even further. Thank you for supporting this project! 💕💕💕
