CivChan banished! Creator Program payouts soar! New video gen. options unleashed, and more!
Greetings, Civitans! Welcome to Civitai Biweekly, your essential guide to all recent developments and updates within Civitai.

Civitai Developments
1️⃣ Support Bot Takeover!
In a shocking April 1st twist, our ever-reliable Support Assistant, CivBot, was temporarily terminated by none other than CivChan - Civitai's overly affectionate (and chaotic) CFO: Chief Feelings Officer. For a full week, she reigned supreme, spreading mayhem and mood swings across the site. But order has been restored! A new, upgraded, and unflinchingly stoic Sigma Male CivBot has returned - more alpha, more helpful, and more emotionally unavailable than ever. Don’t worry though - CivChan hasn't been deleted, just... banished. Civitai Subscribers can still summon her from the Account Settings menu - if they dare.

2️⃣ Creator Program Update!
The first full cycle of the new Civitai Creator Program is now complete. We're happy to report that over $43K was paid out to creators in March, with 254 Creators banking their Buzz to earn a share of the Compensation Pool. The top earner made $8.5K, and the average payout was $226. Creators earned more per Buzz than in the Beta Program, and April’s Pool is even bigger!
The future’s looking bright for Civitai creators! Read more here!
3️⃣ New Video Generation Options!
We’re excited to announce that Vidu and Hunyuan video generation options are now available in the Generator! These new tools allow you to create high-quality video content at a very competitive Buzz cost! Coming soon: Wan 2.1 generation support, video upscaling, frame interpolation, and video LoRA training! |  Hunyuan text-to-video output |
