Illustrious Welcome to an enchanting journey into the world of beholders! Mythical and magical creatures that have captured the imagination of fantasy enthusiasts for generations, and this Lora aims at capturing their essence in images that it can generate. Dare to enter into the worlds of: Beholders! The Origin of Beholders Beholders are born from the dreams and nightmares of powerful magic users. These otherworldly beings are said to originate from the Far Realm, a plane of existence beyond the known universe, filled with chaotic energies and unimaginable horrors. Their existence is a testament to the unbridled power of the mind and magic. Physical Characteristics Beholders are instantly recognizable by their central, spherical body covered in tough, chitinous armor. They possess a large, singular eye that dominates their face, capable of emitting deadly anti-magic rays. From their central mass, numerous stalks extend, each ending in a smaller eye that can cast various powerful spells. Their mouths, filled with sharp teeth, add to their menacing appearance. Magical Abilities Beholders are incredibly powerful magical beings, possessing a wide array of eye-based abilities: Antimagic Cone: The central eye projects a cone of antimagic that can nullify spells and magical effects. Eye Rays: Each eye stalk can emit a different magical ray, including disintegration, petrification, telekinesis, and fear. Levitation: Beholders naturally float in the air, allowing them to move effortlessly in three dimensions. Telepathy: They can communicate telepathically, allowing them to issue commands to their minions and manipulate other creatures' minds. Behavior and Society Beholders are known for their paranoia and solitary nature. They are fiercely territorial, often constructing elaborate lairs filled with traps and lesser creatures to guard against intruders. Despite their solitary tendencies, beholders are known to enslave or dominate other beings to serve their purposes. Their society, if it can be called such, is based on a hierarchy of power and fear. Beholders see themselves as the ultimate lifeforms and consider all other beings inferior. This arrogance and xenophobia often lead them into conflicts with other powerful entities. Notable Beholder Variants Beholders are not a monolithic species; they have several notable variants, each with unique characteristics and abilities: Death Tyrants: Undead beholders that have embraced necromancy, wielding powerful death magic. Gazer: Small, weaker beholders often used as spies or scouts. Spectator: Beholders summoned to guard valuable treasures or locations, typically more benign and neutral. Conclusion Beholders are awe-inspiring creatures of immense power and mystery. Their intricate lore and terrifying abilities make them a staple in many fantasy settings, capturing the imaginations of those who dare to delve into their world. Whether as formidable foes or fascinating subjects of study, beholders continue to captivate and enthrall with their incredible and magical presence.

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.
+749°
Civitai downloads
312 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.
+273°
Likes
65 likes and thumbs up across the sources. A like weighs half a download, on the same log scale.
+2°
Adoption rate
About 0 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.
−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 7,527°, 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.
