-- 🌸 Fantasy art
-The FLAN-T5-XXL encoder excels with natural language, but **tags work great too** – or mix both in one prompt! It's up to you what you want to create.
-## 🛠️ Workflow Simplicity
-**Traditional Chroma Setup 😓**
-```text
-Load Checkpoint → Load VAE → Load CLIP → Load LoRA
-↓
-Multiple nodes, file management headaches
-```
-**This Checkpoint 🎉**
 ```text
-Load Checkpoint → Generate!
-↓
-One node. Done.
 ```
-**Yes, it's literally that simple.** Everything is pre-configured and optimized. Just use the default ComfyUI workflow – the one everyone has right from the start!
-No special custom nodes required. No complex setup. Just load and create.
-A simple companion workflow is included in `workflows/` (from the Civitai workflow page [Chroma-Anime-AIO Simple Workflow](https://civitai.red/models/2027641)).
-## ⚙️ Sampler Compatibility
-Fundamentally, you can use **any sampler** that works with FLUX/Chroma:
-- ✅ Euler Normal (used for all tests)
-- ✅ Euler Beta
-- ✅ Simple
-- ✅ Any other FLUX-compatible sampler
-**There are no strict guidelines here.** All samplers work perfectly – choose what you prefer or experiment freely!

+## ⭐ Why this checkpoint?
+| 🎯 All-in-one | 🚀 Fast | 🎨 Flexible |
+|:--|:--|:--|
+| One file, no separate VAE or CLIP | Based on Chroma-2K-QC: faster convergence, fewer steps | Natural language **and** tags both work |
+| Works with the default ComfyUI workflow | Good results in 16 – 32 steps | Any FLUX-compatible sampler |
+| Chroma-Anime-V3 style is pre-merged | 512×512 up to 2K and more | Anime first, other styles with the right prompt |
+## 🧩 What is inside
+| Component | Details |
+|:--|:--|
+| **Base model** | Chroma-2K-QC by Lodestone Rock (faster convergence) |
+| **Style** | Chroma-Anime-V3 LoRA, pre-merged at the optimal strength |
+| **VAE** | FLUX VAE (integrated) |
+| **Text encoder** | FLAN-T5-XXL (integrated) |
+<details>
+<summary><b>❓ Why FLAN-T5-XXL?</b></summary>
