Creator notes
---V7 Notes --- - Prompt adjustments - Improvements to skin textures - More 2.5d/Realism flexibility - Bug fixes and general improvements. **NOTE - I know that the early access price went up a bit, that's to accommodate for the new system here. I'm still dialing this in and trying very hard to keep this as reasonable as I can. It's a balancing act between this and how much buzz I spend training some things as well as featuring things. ---V6 Notes --- - Better Pony Prompting Adherence - Improved Textures - Fantasy refinements - General Improvements ---V5 Notes --- - Improved Textures - Fantasy Fine Tuning - Better Animals - General Improvements *Note - This update does not dial back people a ton, so please continue to use specific prompts when you don't want people to appear. ---V4 Notes --- - Anthromorphic Update (variety and quality of people) - Downtuned animal generation - Lighting Improvements - Fantasy Elements Introduced *Note - This update had a lot of images trained on people. It's going to try to put people in things unless you are very specific in removing them. ---V3 Notes --- - General Improvements - Improved skin textures - Improved animal generation - bug fixes (training to fix bugs) - or however we should say that with models. --- V2 Notes --- - Improved textures - Improved lighting effects - Better control of light/dark scenes - Better fluid/water rendering --- V1.021 Notes--- Technically this model is saved as 00Crow-and-Pony (double o) --> reasons... This is a new Pony model for me, which is trying to leverage what I learned while I've been migrating my from 1.5 to Pony. This model makes no attempt to bring in any of my 1.5 work, and instead relies on new generations from Arrogant Bastard to build its DataSet. I did create a number of Loras for this, and I strongly consider this version to be a very solid 1.0. I'm pretty happy with it. I'll continue to update my other models as it makes sense, and I am in no way abandoning them. The truth is that this just does different stuff than my other models, even though this is a realistic model also. Please let me know what you think or if you run into any problems. I pay attention and try to incorporate your ideas, and I do go back to fix bugs in future versions.

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.
+975°
Civitai downloads
1,780 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.
+327°
Likes
151 likes and thumbs up across the sources. A like weighs half a download, on the same log scale.
+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.
−497°
Age
−497° because the SDXL weights came out in 2023. 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 7,955°, 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.
