7,000°

Floor

The scale runs from 0° to 9,999°. Everything below 7,000° is kept for models no source reports on yet, which carry a stand-in number there so lists stay complete. 7,000° is where measured data begins: a model with real data but almost no downloads sits at the floor, and the measurements fill the degrees above it. The floor says nothing about the model; only the degrees above it do, and they are what separates one model from another.

+898°

Civitai downloads

17,249 downloads of this exact version on Civitai. Downloads are the heaviest ingredient and are counted on a log scale: ten times the downloads adds the same 300°, so a model with a million downloads is not a thousand times hotter than one with a thousand. The six download sources share that one term, split between them in proportion to their counts.

+443°

Generation sites

8,661 downloads and generation runs of this model's copies on Yodayo. Each run counts as one download, and their downloads count like Civitai's; all of it shares the download term.

+429°

Likes

719 likes and thumbs up across the sources. A like weighs half a download, on the same log scale.

+67°

Adoption rate

About 7 downloads a day, measured between two readings of the sources, never guessed from a lifetime average. Speed weighs a quarter of the download term, so a fresh surge shows without letting a one-day spike outrank years of use.

+150°

Full model

+150° because this is a full model: a checkpoint, the weights themselves. A LoRA or an embedding is an add-on to someone else's weights and does not outrank a checkpoint of equal popularity.

−334°

Age

−334° because the Flux weights came out in 2024. Every model inherits the age of the weights it is built on: 150° a year, up to 750°, and it keeps growing until then. Without it the top of the list would be 2022 and 2023 checkpoints on the strength of downloads that had years to pile up.

Show detailed breakdown

Every number on this site can be checked. This model's heat score is 8,653°, and here it is built one ingredient at a time, with the running total after each: the floor, the degrees each source adds, the bonus for the kind of model and what the age of its weights takes away. The colors are the bands of the chart above. The glossary at the end defines every term.

Start at the floor.
Why 7,000° and not zero: the scale runs from 0° to 9,999°, and the part below 7,000° is reserved for models no source reports on yet, which carry a stand-in number there so the lists stay complete and never outrank a model with data. 7,000° is where measured data begins. A model with real data but almost no downloads sits here; everything that follows is measurement, and the room above the floor holds ten tenfold steps in downloads at 300° each. The floor is the same for every model, so it decides nothing; the degrees above it do.

Glossary: the terms used here

Heat score: One number for how much a model is used and wanted right now, from 0° to 9,999°. Every list on this site that says hottest is sorted by it and nothing else.
Floor: The 7,000° every model with real data starts from. The scale runs from 0° to 9,999°; the part below the floor is reserved for stand-ins (models without data), so that a model with data always ranks above one without. The floor is the same for everyone and decides nothing; the degrees above it are the measurement.
Download-equivalents: Everything the score treats as a download, added up: downloads themselves, each torrent seeder as 1,000, each AI Horde image and each run on a generation site as one.
Log scale: Counting by tens, not by ones: going from 1,000 to 10,000 downloads adds the same degrees as going from 10,000 to 100,000. It keeps giants from crowding out everything else.
Likes: Thumbs up and likes from every source, worth half a download each on the log scale.
Adoption rate: How many downloads a day a model gets right now, from the difference between two readings of a source. A quarter of the weight of the download term.
Measured and estimated: Measured means two readings of a source exist and the difference is real. Estimated means only today's total is known and the past is spread over the model's life; the site says which one it is showing.
Seeder: Someone who keeps a copy of the weights online for others to download over a torrent, or a hosted mirror doing the same. Each one counts as 1,000 downloads.
AI Horde: A volunteer network that generates images for free on donated computers. The number of images it has made with a model is public, and each counts as one download.
Generation sites: Sites that host their own copies of a model and let people generate with it, such as PixAI, SeaArt and Yodayo. Their downloads count like Civitai's and each generation run as one download.
OpenRouter tokens: A text model served through an API, such as Claude or GPT, has no weights to download, so its usage is measured in tokens: the pieces of text it read and wrote through OpenRouter, a gateway many apps use, over the last 30 days. Every 10,000,000 tokens count as one download. Source: OpenRouter (openrouter.ai/rankings), CC BY 4.0.
Full model (checkpoint): The weights themselves, the file that generates on its own. It gets a bonus because add-ons depend on it.
LoRA and embedding: Small add-on files that steer someone else's weights toward a style, a character or a concept. They cannot run alone.
Family and weights: The base a model is built on, such as SD 1.5, SDXL, Flux or Wan. Every model inherits the release date of its family's weights.
Age: Degrees taken off for how long ago the family's weights came out: 150° a year, up to 750°. It keeps old downloads that had years to pile up from freezing the top of the list.
Family boost: A small, bounded nudge for LoRAs of a family this site is pushing forward right now, always listed in the breakdown.
Stand-in score: A stable number below the floor given to a model no source reports on yet, so lists stay complete. It never ranks above a model with data.
New! (grace period): A model less than 7 days old shows New! instead of a score and holds no place in the rankings. Its score is computed from day one, but a model one day old grows faster than anything, so without the wait the week's #1 would always be whatever came out yesterday rather than what held up for a week.
Trend: How a model's growth over a period compares with the typical model's growth over the same period. Faster than typical reads as a rise, slower as a fall.
Typical model: The middle of the catalog: half the models with a figure grew faster over the period, half slower.

How this model's popularity has moved against the rest of the catalog: its growth in downloads, likes and usage over each period, measured against the typical model's growth over the same period, with its heat score at the time. Above the typical growth reads as a rise, below it as a fall. The past is reconstructed from today's totals, the model's first day and its measured download speed where two readings exist; a model that did not exist at the start of a period shows n/a.

yfg-sm0rg, Bask in the realm of abstract expressionism as a mysterious figure cloaked in a vibrant red shawl steps into view against an ebony void. Her head hangs low, enveloped in a cloud of bewitching curiosity. In stark contrast with her crimson surroundings, crisp white lines dance alongside her form, accentuating each delicate curve as if painted by an ethereal brushstroke. A sense of profound contemplation radiates from within as she stands on the edge of a transformative moment, encapsulated in a timeless swirl of emotions unraveling before our eyes. Let illuminate this striking canvas through the melding of bold colors and expressive movement, forever immortalizing this introspective scene of raw passion and introspection.

yfg-F@ce, YFG-Zaat, A neon-lit cityscape at dusk, a vibrant orange-pink sky blending into deep purples, contrasts with modern skyscrapers in shades of glass and steel. A large frog sits perched on a rock in the foreground, its skin a mottled green-brown that blends seamlessly with the urban foliage, while its bright red eyes gleam like tiny rubies in the fading light. The frog's slender legs are folded beneath it, as if in quiet contemplation of the cityscape unfolding before it. In the distance, towering skyscrapers stretch towards the sky, their reflective surfaces glinting softly with a warm, golden light that casts no shadows, only subtle gradations of tone and texture.

A 3/4-view 9:16 portrait, painterly realism with shallow canvas texture. Diffuse daylight from upper left kisses the subject, soft shadows pooling among flowers. The adult fox sits proud on a mossy stump; short russet-orange fur is overlaid by swirling cloisonné motifs—vermillion blooms, teal droplets, ochre curlicues—that echo lacquered inlay. Cream ruff and forepaws add contrast. Amber eyes gaze left with serene focus. No apparel, but ornamental patterning suggests living porcelain. Surrounding foliage is a muted teal and sage underwash dotted with marigold blossoms and curling stems; the backdrop is aged parchment spattered with gold leaf. Color palette: marigold orange (dominant), sage teal (cool split), vermillion red (warm split), sky-blue (accent), parchment beige (variant), weathered gold (neutral). in the style of James Jean, 8k masterwork, whimsical fauna, organic ornament, tranquil reverie, living lacquer <lora:FluxDFaeTasticDetails:0.7000000000000002> <lora:RM_Fantastify_v0.8M_classic:0.8000000000000002> <lora:Defluxion_II:0.6000000000000001>

This is a movie poster of a very realistic 3D animation, in the style of the movie Chicken Run, which features an amusing scene featuring a large turkey in a hurry to leave, tail feathers are fanned out behind it, dressed like a typical 1950s American tourist in a dusty countryside, hitchhiking, one arm outstretched, thumbs up. The turkey is wearing a vintage floral Hawaiian shirt, high-waisted shorts, a classic fedora and retro sunglasses, with a large Rolex on his wrist. The turkey is holding one vintage leather suitcase with old travel stickers indicating his destination: "PARIS" and others in the shape of the Eiffel Tower. Two lost crumpled dollars lie on the ground. The turkey is standing on the side of a dirt road with grass growing in the middle. The surrounding countryside includes rolling hills, a very old abandoned yellow Fordson Major tractor and haystacks in the nearby fields and a dusty lot, winding country road. The background includes a sky fading to soft oranges and pinks. The lighting and staging evoke the dramatic, cinematic details and atmosphere of a classic World War II film. In large red letters, like the film's title, it reads: "NOVEMBER 28TH IS COMING."

This is a photograph of an artistic scene crafted solely from paper, depicting a serene landscape from ancient times featuring an old watermill with its picturesque water wheel and a few surrounding houses. The entire scene is bathed in soft, warm hues of cream and beige, with subtle golden accents along the edges of the book adding a touch of elegance. The ambient lighting casts shadows that give character to the scene. Through the intricate cut-outs of the trees, a cozy and warm room can be perceived in the blurred background, filled with many bedside lamps, creating a warm ambiance with soft, golden lighting. The work, made entirely of paper, features detailed cut-outs that create a striking contrast with the blurred background, drawing the viewer into this enchanting, fairy tale-like landscape.
