<h3 id="workflow-thinking-2.0">Workflow-Thinking-2.0</h3><h3 id="update-workflow-thinking-integrates-gemma-4-12b-it-qat-thinking-mode!">🚀 [Update] workflow-Thinking Integrates Gemma 4 12B IT QAT Thinking Mode!</h3>💡 What’s New:<ul><li>Enhanced Output Quality: By leveraging this new thinking mode, the model now delivers significantly better reasoning capability, deeper insights, and higher-quality responses for complex tasks.</li><li>Longer Inference Time: Please note that due to the deeper reasoning and "thinking" process, the model's inference/generation speed will be slightly slower than before.</li></ul>⚖️ Our Take: This is a classic "quality over speed" trade-off. If your tasks require high precision and rigorous logic, we highly recommend giving this new workflow a try! We will continue to optimize inference efficiency to better balance speed and performance.Give it a spin and let us know your thoughts in the feedback channel!⚠️Please read the v3.7.1 update announcement to download the corresponding nodes and models.<hr /><h2 id="workflow-update:-anima-base-v3.7.1">Workflow Update: anima-base-v3.7.1</h2>The updated workflow (anima-base-v3.7.1) has been officially re-uploaded! This release builds upon the major overhauls from v3.0 and v2.5, bringing refined prompt templates, new shading styles, and critical backend stability.<h2 id="what's-new-in-v3.7.1">🌟 What's New in v3.7.1</h2><ul><li>New Style Prompt Templates: Added dedicated prompt templates for Cel-shading, Soft Shading (Thin Painting), Semi-Painterly, and Painterly (Thick Painting).</li><li>Universal Prompt Interrogation: Added a general prompt reversal/interrogation template to streamline your tag extraction.</li><li>Prompt Fixes: Sneaked in various optimization fixes to existing prompt templates for smoother generations.</li></ul><h3 id="recommended-model-upgrade">📦 Recommended Model Upgrade</h3>To get the best results with the new interrogation templates, it is highly recommended to download the latest LLM prompt interrogation model:👉 <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://huggingface.co/SC117/gemma-4-12B-it-heretic-QAT-GGUF">SC117/gemma-4-12B-it-heretic-QAT-GGUF · Hugging Face</a><h2 id="complete-installation-and-setup-guide">🛠️ Complete Installation &amp; Setup Guide</h2>If you are upgrading from an older version (pre-v3.0), you will need to install two core custom node ecosystems and place your LLM model in the correct directory.<h3 id="1.-install-required-custom-nodes">1. Install Required Custom Nodes</h3>Open your terminal, navigate to your ComfyUI custom nodes directory, and run the following commands:Bash<pre><code>cd ComfyUI/custom_nodes

# Node 1: LLM Text Processor (Required for Gemma 4)
git clone https://github.com/KingManiya/ComfyUI-LLM-text-processor.git

# Node 2: Anima Style Explorer (Required for Style Palettes &amp; Switcher)
git clone https://github.com/mizukir0418-gif/ComfyUI-Anima-Style-Explorer-Prompt.git
</code></pre>(Alternatively, you can download the ZIP files directly from GitHub and extract them into your <code>custom_nodes</code> folder, ensuring no <code>-main</code> suffixes remain in the folder names).<h3 id="2.-place-the-llm-model">2. Place the LLM Model</h3><ul><li>Model Link: Download <code>gemma-4-12b-it-uncensored-GGUF</code> (or the recommended <code>heretic-QAT</code> variant) from Hugging Face.</li><li>Storage Path: Place the <code>.gguf</code> file strictly inside: <code>ComfyUI/models/LLM/</code></li></ul><h2 id="critical-troubleshooting:-fixing-first-time-loading-errors">⚠️ Critical Troubleshooting: Fixing First-Time Loading Errors</h2>🚨 IMPORTANT: Because Gemma 4 utilizes a brand-new architecture, the older default backend built into the LLM node will throw an error (e.g., unknown projector type or inference failed) on its first run.If your ComfyUI crashes or errors out, follow these manual steps to update the backend:<ol><li>Download the Latest Backend: Go to the official <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/releases">llama.cpp GitHub Releases</a>.</li><li>Select the Right File: Download the latest release zip corresponding to your GPU setup (e.g., <code>Windows x64 (CUDA 13) - CUDA 13.3 DLLs</code> or the CUDA 12 variant).</li><li>Locate the Target Folder: Navigate here inside your ComfyUI directory:<code>ComfyUI/custom_nodes/ComfyUI-LLM-text-processor/vendor/llama.cpp/b8840/win-x64-cuda13/</code></li><li>Replace the Files: Extract the downloaded zip and copy-paste all files directly into the <code>win-x64-cuda13</code> folder, overwriting the existing ones.</li><li>Restart: Restart your ComfyUI backend.</li></ol><h2 id="core-features-recap-(v2.5-v3.0-cumulative)">🚀 Core Features Recap (v2.5 – v3.0 Cumulative)</h2>If you missed the previous major updates, here is what is now completely integrated into your v3.7.1 pipeline:<h3 id="gemma-4-integration-and-advanced-tag-reversal">🧠 Gemma 4 Integration &amp; Advanced Tag Reversal</h3>Handles highly detailed, Danbooru-style descriptive captioning, advanced anatomical logic conversion (perfect for gender-bending and complex character transformations), and precise prompt refinement.
