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.
+998°
Civitai downloads
1,834 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.
+318°
Likes
130 likes and thumbs up across the sources. A like weighs half a download, on the same log scale.
+73°
Adoption rate
About 8 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.
+100°
Family boost
+100° because this is a LoRA of a family this site is nudging forward right now. It is a bounded nudge inside the score and is listed here openly; it can never hide a model or outweigh a thousandfold difference in downloads.
Show detailed breakdown
Every number on this site can be checked. This model's heat score is 8,489°, 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.
  1. 1
    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.

Prompt
A dimly lit scene featuring a lone, broken vending machine on a dark and narrow alley in a dystopian cyberpunk city. the alley is between two delapidated buildings, covered by an overhang that connects the buildings. there's a rusty metal fence at the end of the alley, and beyond it a futuristic skyscrapers can be seen, lit up by bright neon lights and massive holographic advertisement. everything close by is full of gritty details, while the sleek, futuristic part of the city in the background is blurry, almost dreamlike in comparison

Prompt
Cinematic, dynamic, creepy and unsettling photograph, a night scene bathed in heavy fog. Atop a barren, desolate hill, dark silhouettes are sharply outlined against a massive, glowing full moon low on the horizon. In the center, a gaunt, shadowy witch is waltzing in a strange dance, her ragged robes fluttering in the mist. Following close behind her is a long, unsettling procession of black cats, tails up, tails curled, different tails positions, their piercing eyes faintly glowing through the dark haze. Twisted, leafless trees frame the scene. Eerie atmosphere, folk horror aesthetic, muted dark tones, high contrast silhouette lighting, 8k resolution.

Prompt
A dimly lit scene featuring a very dark and claustrophobic Unreal Engine 5 render of a curving, narrow corridor inside an abandoned, dilapidated space station, with rusted, warped metal walls that sag and partially collapse inward, exposing tangled cables and corroded pipes running through the structure; to the left, a dimly lit room shrouded in near-total darkness where details are obscured by shadow; a single, flickering orange emergency light buzzes weakly overhead, casting only a sparse, unsettling glow that illuminates faint sparks flying from its source, barely enough to reveal the oppressive, gritty textures of the environment; the entire scene exudes a dystopian, industrial hard sci-fi atmosphere saturated with decay, dust, and dread, rendered with high-fidelity realism and detailed surface imperfections, emphasizing the crushing confinement and mechanical ruin of the setting.

A dimly lit photograph featuring a young man walking through a foggy, overgrown forest at midnight, holding a flickering antique lantern out in front of him, the weak orange flame casting eerie dancing shadows on the towering tree trunks and catching the frightened gleam in his wide, searching eyes.

A dimly lit scene featuring the pov of a female edgerunner who is looking down to her cyberarm, which is currently being operated by a ripperdoc. the scene is lit in a chiaroscuro lighting style, with strong contrast between bright, focused beam and the dark surroundings. the cybernetic arm is open with its internal machinery visible, and the ripperdoc is fixing something with a tool that shoots out small sparks. the ripperdoc is wearing a worn labcoat, open over a tight tank top that leave her cleavage distractingly visible

Prompt
A dimly lit scene featuring a view from an abandoned parking hall with crumbling concrete walls, viewed from behind three female cyberpunk edgerunners standing beside a rusted metal railing and looking out; the trio is dressed in tactical, high-tech gear with glowing circuit accents, their postures tense and alert as they observe a distant, heavily guarded futuristic research laboratory across a ruined cityscape, illuminated by cold blue and crimson lights, one edgerunner holding binoculars aimed at the facility’s entrance while another peers at a floating holographic map projecting schematics of the building’s security layout, the third standing slightly crouched with hands ready, all conveying a palpable sense of calculated danger and imminent action, atmospheric shadows stretch across their figures, emphasizing the gritty, suspenseful mood of an impending heist.
