Cupscale supports multiple models tuned for different types of content (including Anime like waifu2x): https://upscale.wiki/wiki/Model_Database

As I said Waifu2x too supports many different models aimed at different content, so what's the big improvement with Cupscale?

Well in that case I might be wrong.

Considering waifu2x is the name of an algorithm I assumed it was just that algorithm. There's also no mention of other models on the demo page or the Github page as far as I can see.

My bad! Yes Waifu2x is just a single algorithm, you are right.

The confusion originates from the fact that I was using a GUI project for Waifu2x called "Waifu2x Extension GUI" (https://github.com/AaronFeng753/Waifu2x-Extension-GUI) which other than Waifu2x also supports other algorithms like Real-ESRGAN, Real-CUGAN, SRMD, RealSR, Anime4K, RIFE, IFRNet, CAIN, DAIN, and ACNet.

So as you said Cupscale is surely more advanced than Waifu2x (the single algorithm), but do you think it's also better than Waifu2x Extension GUI?
