ComfyUI NewBie-image-Exp0.1 Workflow Example

NewBie-image-Exp0.1 is a 3.5B parameter DiT model developed by NewBieAI Lab for anime-style text-to-image generation. Built on the Next-DiT architecture, it delivers remarkably detailed and visually striking anime images. Key Features:

3.5B Parameter Model: Efficient yet powerful model size for high-quality anime generation
Next-DiT Architecture: Based on research from the Lumina architecture with a newly designed NewBie architecture
Dual Text Encoders: Uses Gemma3-4B-it as primary encoder with Jina CLIP v2 for improved prompt understanding
FLUX VAE: Utilizes FLUX.1-dev 16-channel VAE for richer colors and finer texture details
XML Structured Prompts: Supports XML format for better attention binding and attribute disentanglement

Prompt format

NewBie-image is an anime image generation model optimized for character generation. It uses XML structured prompts for training, where each <> tag defines a category (like <appearance>, <clothing>) and </> closes it. The tags inside are standard Danbooru tags. This structure enables precise control over multi-character scenes with better attribute binding. For the complete prompt writing guide, see the official documentation. NewBie-image-Exp0.1 supports three prompt formats:

Natural language: Standard text descriptions
Tags: Danbooru-style tags
XML structured format: Recommended for multi-character scenes

XML structured prompt

For multi-character scenes, using XML structured prompts typically leads to more accurate image generation results with better attention binding and attribute disentanglement.
