Overview

ChenkinNoob is an independent open-source team continuing the noobai-XL-1.1 lineage. Version 0.2 officially released on 2025-12-25 and keeps the familiar high-quality aesthetics while integrating newer Danbooru data (extended through 2025-11-23). Internal evaluations show noticeable gains over V0.1 in character consistency, detail rendition, and prompt fidelity.
