2x-AnimeSharpV4

Description

This is my latest anime model. It's a continuation of what I tried to do with AnimeSharpV3: faithful upscaling with as few artifacts as possible.

I have included two versions. The base RCAN model, then the Fast model. The base model will work great on just about anything, and the fast model is probably ~95% of the quality but much faster to run 😊

Here are some comparisons:

you intend to use this as a normal upscaling model, you'll want the latest version of chaiNNer-nightly: you want to use this model with diffusion, you'll need to use the latest ComfyUI, and upgrade the spandrel python library to 0.4.1. This will add support for the architecture (RCAN)
