Pony Diffusion is the tag for the Pony family of anime checkpoints — the model line that taught a generation of creators to prompt with score tokens. Its signature is still visible in the tag's own prompts: score_9 leads the positive side while score_6, score_5 and score_4 appear verbatim as the low-quality markers to push against — a built-in quality dial other models simply do not have. The family earned its place as one of the two pillars of anime AI art alongside the Illustrious line, which fittingly tops this tag's model list as the successor ecosystem. Pony models read Danbooru tags natively, cover an unusual range from humans to anthro characters (the prompts here literally sort (human) from (furry)), and anchor a huge library of character and style LoRAs trained over their long reign. ANIME, MANGA, COMIC and CUTE ANIME fill the related tags, with PONY marking the sibling tag. Prompting notes: put the score tokens first, then subject tags, and keep artist-style tokens near the end. Starting fresh, compare against Illustrious-descended builds — the grammar carries over almost one-to-one.
