Anima Turbo LoRA API

About Anima Turbo LoRA

Anima Turbo LoRA runs CircleStone Labs' 2-billion-parameter anime model in its fast Turbo build with up to three of your own LoRA files per request. Text-to-image in fifteen aspect ratios at two resolution tiers, plus image-to-image with a strength control. Community style and character LoRAs load from a direct link, without review, and nothing is filtered.

Call it with the model name circlestone-labs/anima-turbo-lora/edit on POST /jobs/createTask, from 3 credits per image ($0.03). New accounts get 30 free credits to try it in the Playground first.

Introduction

Anima Turbo LoRA Image to image redraws one source image on Anima Turbo, the distilled build of CircleStone Labs' anime model, guided by your prompt and up to three of your own LoRA files. A strength value from 0 to 1 decides how far the result moves from the source. The output keeps the source's aspect ratio and is not filtered.

Key features

Style LoRAs do the restyling

With a PC-98 LoRA at strength 0.75, a rooftop photograph came back as retro pixel-shaded anime with the same man, shirt and skyline. The prompt describes the scene; the LoRA supplies the look.

Strength decides how much survives

At 0 the source returns untouched and at 0.3 a photo is still a photo. Around 0.75 the style takes over while the composition stays.

The shape follows the source

The result always keeps the source's aspect ratio. The resolution tier only sets the pixel count: about one megapixel on 1k, about 2.4 megapixels on 1.5k.

Request parameters

Pricing

Prices are in credits, the same credits you use on the website (1 credit = $0.01). The hold is taken when the task is accepted and settled to the actual charge when it finishes; failed tasks are refunded.

Each task is rounded up to whole credits, so one run at the lowest tier costs 3 credits per image ($0.03).

For an exact number before you run, send the same body to POST /jobs/quote.

Use cases

Photos in a house style

Turn portraits, product shots or stills into one custom anime style while the layout stays put, for avatars, covers and social posts that share a look.

One style across mixed sources

Run a folder of images through the same LoRA, strength and seed so that pictures from different tools end up in one consistent style.

Prompt guide & pro tips

Trigger words first, then the whole picture

Start with the LoRA's trigger, then write what the final image contains. The model regenerates the entire frame, so anything left out of the prompt is left to chance.

Start at 0.75 and move in small steps

If the source shows through too much, raise strength by 0.05; if the pose or the face drifts, lower it. Keep the seed fixed while you compare.

Expect a jump near 0.85

Changing the medium of an already colourful picture is not gradual: in our test the image stayed in colour at 0.8 and turned fully black and white at 0.85.

Send a clean source

One clear subject and no borders, captions or watermarks. The model redraws everything it sees, including things you did not mean to keep.

API quick start

Call the Anima Turbo LoRA API in three steps

1. Create an API key. Sign in to PopNow and create a key in the API console. Keys start with sk-popnow- and use the same credits as the website.
2. Send the request. POST /jobs/createTask with model circlestone-labs/anima-turbo-lora/edit and an input object that follows the parameter table. The response returns a task ID straight away.
3. Get the result. Poll GET /jobs/recordInfo with the task ID, or pass a callBackUrl and we post the result to it. Download the output links when the task succeeds.

# 1. Create the task. Keep the Idempotency-Key if you retry after a network error.
export IDEMPOTENCY_KEY="$(uuidgen)"
curl -X POST https://api.popnow.ai/api/v1/jobs/createTask \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $POPNOW_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Idempotency-Key: $IDEMPOTENCY_KEY" \
  -d '{
  "model": "circlestone-labs/anima-turbo-lora/edit",
  "input": {
    "prompt": "A ceramic teapot on a linen cloth, soft window light, muted palette",
    "image_url": "https://media.popnow.ai/influencer/examples/marco.webp",
    "resolution": "1k"
  }
}'

# 2. Copy data.taskId from the response, then poll until state is succeeded, failed, canceled or expired.
TASK_ID="TASK_ID_FROM_RESPONSE"
curl "https://api.popnow.ai/api/v1/jobs/recordInfo?taskId=$TASK_ID" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $POPNOW_API_KEY"

Replace the prompt and any links with your own. The API tab has the response, polling and callback reference.
