Try out the interactive version: This Anime Does Not Exist (link).
A custom variant StyleGAN2 model (512px resolution) trained on Danbooru2019. Notable changes include disabling stylemixing during training, forgoing path length regularization, using 2x feature maps, noconst (from the start), top-k (at convergence), and data augmentation using PALM (hands and figures augmentations), among other tweaks.

The model seems particularly enamored of, and adept at, ornamentation. It has a real penchant for painting in floating flowers, stars, and hearts.

There’s also increasingly good coherency, texture, and attention to detail in terms of fashion.
