# ComfyUI AnimaFastTrain
Experimental custom nodes for training Anima reference context in ComfyUI with
in-memory reference context tokens.
## Installation
### ComfyUI Manager
1. Open ComfyUI Manager.
2. Select **Custom Nodes Manager**.
3. Search for **ComfyUI-AnimaFastTrain**.
4. Click **Install**.
5. Restart ComfyUI.
The nodes will appear under:
```text
Anima/AnimaFastTrain
```
### Manual Install
Clone this repository into your ComfyUI `custom_nodes` directory:
```bash
cd ComfyUI/custom_nodes
git clone https://github.com/quinteroac/ComfyUI-AnimaFastTrain.git
```
Then restart ComfyUI.
To update an existing installation:
```bash
cd ComfyUI/custom_nodes/ComfyUI-AnimaFastTrain
git pull
```
Restart ComfyUI after updating.
## Nodes
- **AnimaFastTrain - Train Context Tokens**
- Inputs: `MODEL`, `CLIP`, `VAE`, and a reference `IMAGE`.
- Trains per-block context tokens in memory.
- Does not save safetensors or any weight cache to disk.
- Training uses scale `1.0`, matching the experimental Python pipeline.
Runtime strength is controlled by the patch node.
- Default parameters:
- `training_steps=80`
- `learning_rate=0.02`
- internal Anima shape: `num_blocks=28`, `text_dim=1024`
- **AnimaFastTrain - MaskTrain Context Tokens**
- Inputs: `MODEL`, `CLIP`, `VAE`, a reference `IMAGE`, and a `MASK`.
- Trains the same in-memory per-block context tokens as the regular train
node, but weights the reconstruction loss by the mask in latent space.
- White/1.0 mask areas contribute to training; black/0.0 areas are ignored.
- Optional second and third reference images can use matching optional masks.
If only one mask is connected, it is reused for every reference image.
- This is mask-weighted training, not a runtime cross-attention mask.
- **AnimaFastTrain - Patch Model**
- Inputs: `MODEL` and the in-memory context object.
- Outputs a patched `MODEL`.
- Connect the patched model to a normal ComfyUI sampler.
- The patch is applied during the model call and restored immediately after
each call.
- Default runtime strength:
- `reference_context_scale=0.45`
## Important graph order
Connect the final model into **Patch Model** after any LoRA/model patch nodes.
For example:
`Checkpoint Loader -> LoRA Loader -> Patch Model -> KSampler`
If another model patch node runs after **Patch Model**, it may clone the model
and drop this experimental wrapper.
## Suggested workflow
1. Load the Anima model, CLIP, and VAE.
2. Load or create a reference image. A face-dominant crop often improves
facial identity consistency.
3. Run **Train Context Tokens**, or **MaskTrain Context Tokens** if you want the
training loss to focus on a masked region.
4. Run **Patch Model** with the returned context.
5. Use the patched model with normal conditioning, latent, sampler, and VAE
decode nodes.
Everything is intentionally memory-only for experimentation.
