It's Time To Retire (Finally!)
Well there's not much to say other than we're finally winding down.
The official timing is that by september we'll finally remove our profiles.
The caveat?
We allow re-uploads of everything without original credit.
What's going on in short if you haven't already read our substack NOR our previous article:
We're finally recognizing what we've been battling, and it wasn't "burnout". We're exhausted, this has always been sort of not -- quite our place, and that's A OK!
We've already noticed that some of our development apps aren't as good as some -- and that trying to chase perfection in these was a losing goal. Aka: An LLM is only as good as the developer behind it. We're good at web design, but not backend.
This means this:
The original trainer is now archived, but if you're interested in taking over the organization and the repos included from it here's the link: https://github.com/UselessToys/
Our models are now backed up here for purveyance and reupload once September hits and we're gone: https://huggingface.co/xFutureTechx
If you want your own Anima model that hasn't been uploaded: https://huggingface.co/xFutureTechx/Anima-Bakes
Our discord started it's process of shutdown end of July, and we're shuffing anyone over to our main media discord. We're just ... we're done with AI overall and we're continually trying to return to what's more natural for us.
We totally appreciate everyone and what they've done -- and we're so proud that Civitai's still keeping on. We've got a last time payout to settle, and after that we'll be figuring out the semantics and logistics.
Remember: We don't want credit for a lot of these things anymore cause we really don't need to be attached to the AI world anymore.
If you have any questions or concerns leave em' in the comments section and i'll try and get back to you <3
