Bank sfx
Best for beginners. Describe what you want in a chat and the picture comes back, no learning curve.
Images and video from a chat, with short commands. The most convenient tool for Telegram users, with a web companion.
Best for power users. Full control over models, settings and workflows in a browser studio.
Best for communities. Add it to your own server and run any workflow from a channel.
One screen for every model and workflow: prompts, references, edits and video, built into your Graydient account.
Set up local programs if your computer has capable hardware.
Generate the same prompt on up to 50 checkpoint/base models at a time.
Type a sound, get one clean, ready-to-use hit. bank-sfx doesn't generate audio — it looks your request up in a hand-curated library of about 1,900 CC0 / public-domain sound effects (Kenney, OpenGameArt and Freesound) and returns the best match, so there's no AI noise or scratchiness. Controls: - Prompt: the sound you want, e.g. "door slam", "laser zap", "dog bark", "sword swing", "coin pickup", "thunder". - slot1: optional category filter (ui, impact, scifi, foley, household, animal, weapon, vehicle, body, tool, machine, magic, game, musical, water, door, food, horror, cartoon, footstep,…Type a sound, get one clean, ready-to-use hit. bank-sfx doesn't generate audio — it looks your request up in a hand-curated library of about 1,900 CC0 / public-domain sound effects (Kenney, OpenGameArt and Freesound) and returns the best match, so there's no AI noise or scratchiness.

Made of: a keyword-search node (ComfyUI-SfxBank) over a 196 MB FLAC sound bank. Same request always returns the same sound. Library covers game, UI, foley, nature, animals, vehicles, weapons and more; if something isn't in the bank you'll get an error rather than a made-up sound. All sounds are CC0 — free for any use, credits in the dataset on Hugging Face (Jacob121294/bank-sfx).
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.
