Creator notes
Inspired by this by@1to3fall5 and by thanks to for giving me detailed feedback about v1.2 and v1.3, for feedback about v1.4. Also, a person who gave 1000 buzz (I don't see the name) some time ago. And everyone else who gave me a motivation. Description for V1.0 Krea: Use Strength 0.8-0.9, dontstarvestyle, blank eyes (for characters if you want that effect). That version of LORA for Krea2 is less artistic and much closer to the original style than the latest Pony version; I like Pony's version more so far. The version for Krea2 doesn't contain synthetic data and almost only original official arts. Four fingers are correct, but often one hand has five digits and another four. The lore doesn't include names of original characters, so you won't get them in generations. (v1.5 has names of some characters, but using them on prompt didn't notice real effect.) I recommend checking the by for Flux, instead of mine, which is based on game assets, but still looks pretty nice. Description for V1.5 Pony: Put attention to the original characters have 4 fingers. To get 5, you may need to do inpainting. Strength 1.0-0.85 with additional character LORA, in some cases use '2D, CGI, photo, render in negative, 0.9-0.75 and lower for other cases if you want to keep the original style. Around 0.5 is fine for more detailed images but still maintain some influence of the style. 'chibi' I recommend using no stronger than 0.8. Comparing v1.5 and v1.4 for Pony, weight examples, 'chibi' all in one in the . is creator of Fate Spinner Lora. Description for V1.4 Illustrious: 'dontstarvestyle' and 'blank eyes' are trigger words. The results I like the most with weights 0.7-0.9. Weights can be seen on the last picture. Lips might have incorrect shapes, especially at higher weights, so use addetailer or inpainting. Description for V1.4 Pony: Strength '1.0' is usually fine for everything. Use 'dontstarvestyle', 'blank eyes', and 'muted colors' to make images closer to the original palette. The images in examples and in technical post used almost identical settings and prompts like in v1.3, so you could easily compare version v1.3 and v1.4. If you want the character more chibi, use 'solo' and 'chibi:0.7' and lower. Also, it works better with a strength of the Lora '1.0' and lower. . Usually, you don't need any specific negative, except when using LORAs with realistic characters and persons. Also, 'Liara t'soni' is trying to stay semi-realistic; my usual negative for it is '3d, photo, cgi, render'. Description for V1.3 Pony: In general, everything similar like in v1.2. but you could use a bit lower wieghts. 'Muted colors' is not really a keyword, but use it if you want to get colors closer to original style, maybe even increase the weight of it. 'chibi' by part works like a keyword, but anyway just add similarity to style and proportion. By reason most of the dataset contain nature outside, it sometimes tries to put pot plants and stuff like that, so you could put it in negative if you want to avoid it. As usual, to see examples of weights. Description for V1.2 Pony: For usual usage, the weight ranges from 1.2-0.8. Without any description of the background, it will usually be simple or blank, so I recommend putting even a simple description like 'forest' or 'bedroom'. With the token 'chibi', it will look like a playable character. If you use it with other Lora of characters, I recommend increasing the weight between 1.2 to 1.6. Also, I recommend putting 'pupil' in negative if you want to get clear blank eyes. Some examples can be seen in my main post. The below is also an image with examples of weights. Description for V1 Pony: ( I don't recommend using this version now; it's not stable enough.) By default, with trigger words 'blank eyes, dontstarvestyle' generate 2.5D images. If you want to do it more flat and/or use it with another LoRA or character or person, add 'photo, render, 3d, cgi' in negative. Examples you could see in the . The trigger 'blank eyes' works, but not like you expected; by fact, it works as a name for the style itself. It's possible to do another type of eyes, as the dataset has variants for it, but it's hard to get it, and actually, I like characters with blank eyes like Wendy. The LoRA isn't including names of game characters, so it won't generate specific ones from the Don't Starve series.

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.
+121°
Civitai downloads
438 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.
+957°
Generation sites
3,480 downloads and generation runs of this model's copies on PixAI. Each run counts as one download, and their downloads count like Civitai's; all of it shares the download term.
+369°
Likes
288 likes and thumbs up across the sources. A like weighs half a download, on the same log scale.
−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 7,950°, 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.
