Creator notes

Please avoid using too many LoRA's as that can mess up your image! remember to leave hearts and reviews <3 ~ Vixon's recipe for potato pancakes ~ Ingredients 1 medium onion, peeled 4 large Idaho or russet potatoes, peeled 2 large eggs 2 Tbsp. all-purpose flour Kosher salt and black pepper 6 Tbsp. vegetable oil 6 Tbsp. unsalted butter Applesauce and/or sour cream, for serving Instructions Preheat oven to 200°F. Place 2 nonstick baking sheets in oven. Using box grater or food processor fitted with grating disc, coarsely grate onion and place in colander set in sink. Coarsely grate potatoes, add to colander, and set aside to drain. Lightly beat eggs in a large bowl, then whisk in flour. Press potatoes and onion to extract as much liquid as possible, then add to egg/flour mixture. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Using wooden spoon or hands, mix well, but do not overwork. Heat 1 Tbsp. oil and 1 Tbsp. butter in a heavy-bottomed large skillet over medium-high heat, until hot but not smoking. Drop 4 scant ¼-cup portions of potato mixture into pan and flatten with spatula to form four 3-inch pancakes. Fry until bottoms are golden-brown, 4 to 5 minutes, then turn over and fry until golden-brown and crisp, an additional 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer to paper towels to drain; season immediately with salt and pepper. Keep warm on baking sheets in oven while making remaining pancakes. Using paper towels, carefully wipe out pan. Add 1 Tbsp. oil and 1 Tbsp. butter and fry 4 more pancakes. Repeat with remaining batter, wiping out pan and adding 1 Tbsp. oil and 1 Tbsp. butter before each batch. Serve pancakes hot with applesauce and/or sour cream. ~ cheese__oho - tomidoron - nikkileeisme - p0tatoo_zay - tamaytka - Jabro_64 - lhata4564 - Gharliera - Raichiyo - Dramatic Lighting - Pickle - ThisUserIsAngry - Gañas - Par0llel - chongzhen - Andaerz - Kurtz - Beyumi - Tasia - Magion - Feelfal - Abyss - Harukami - Rin - Astro - ilLumi - Thermal - Kuri - Merry - Pigeon - Spooky Babes - Ghostly - Cryb0rg - Simz - Vixon Zoms - Sabattons - Atar - CT - Cottony - Lusky - Picolo - Dark Purple & Creepy - RDJ - Hannah - Toshia - Yashiro - Suleimanov - Kanekoya - Teng - Jamie Hewlett - Ayumu - Giudi - Dunn - Yottasun - Swap - Dark Vibe - Pink Horror - Bukk - Li Flag - Ilya - Creep Paint - Ghibli v1.0 - jojo bizarre adventure - Cowboy Bebop - Green & Lush - liz - Studio K. - Empresse - BG A. - Colour Glow - Klimt - Flat Trip - Fenner v1.0 - 3D - Monjya - Buttered - Spit B. - Large Eyes - Blue Ink - Soft Panels - Trippy Mush & Stars - Monet - Skottie Young - Junji Ito - Jesse Jacobs - Perfect Blue - TV Static - cottage core pink hue - Sui Ishida - Shiren - Arcane - detailed pixel art - logo - Soft Pink Trad - Perez - Riso - Sketchbook - Ireglitch - Detailed v1.0 - Red Nose - Bright/Rainbow - woof - red ink (tarot) - character sheet - circus - Sean - Creep - midjourney - Pastel Gore - Windows 98 - Helen - BFD - Mononoke K - manga v1.0 - Gothic Retro Anime v1.0 - Bold Anime BW/Pink - Unwell v1.0 - Emote v1.0 - Oil v1.0 - Darcom v1.0 - Cute Portrait v1.0 - Floral Shine v1.0 - phantom v1.0 - joycelee v1.0 - Venetian Lighting - detailed painting v1.0 - Glitchcore v1.0 - ethereal v1.0 - colourcore v1.0 - neon lights v1.0 - grisly v1.0 - creature gore v1.0 - ji4n v1.0 - iingezo v1.0 - juiche v1.0 - penpovac v1.0 - MRN v1.0 - wheezie v1.0 - gothic neon v1.0 - Long exposure v1.0 - dreamcore v1.0 - light painting v1.0 - lace shadows v1.0 - a.shipwright v1.0 - yintion v1.0 - JR v1.0 - Rob Brown v1.0 - wessbecher v1.0 - inu v1.0 - mint Flavor ppl v1.0 - mint flavor v1.0 - vilano v1.0 - som v1.0 - alariko v1.0 - petra v1.0 - Sungmoo v1.0 - gleb v1.0 - Meyer v1.0 - 90's anime v1.0 - sketch water colour v1.0 - colour splash v1.0 - Philtomato v1.0 - coloured sketch v1.0 - Blue Ink Sketch v1.0 - Manga Glitch Yellow v1.0 - invert glitch v1.0 - Emily Carr v1.0 - Neon Cat Girl v1.0 - rainbow acrylic v1.0 - Oil Paint Streets v1.0 - Devin v1.0 - lofi v1.0 - Kehoe v1.0 - Piotr v1.0 - Hellish v1.0 - kintsugi & blue willow - Partial Sketch v1.0 - Scenery v1.0 - Gold v1.0 - Rainbow v1.0 - Blue Hue v1.0 - Red Glow v1.0 - Laia v1.0 - Digital Painting v1.0 - Soft Fairy v1.0 - Galaxy v1.0 - Creepy v1.0 - Moody Green v1.0 - Contrast v1.0 - Bold Oil - Framed - watercolour v1.0 - Violet E. - Iridescent - Gothic Oil -

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.

+1,316°

Civitai downloads

24,389 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.

+517°

Likes

2,804 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 8,336°, 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
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.

8,336°

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.
