Civitai on-site LoRA Trainer LIVE! New Education Guides, New Contest, and more!

September 08, 2023

Welcome Civitans, to the seventh issue of the Civitai Weekly Newsletter! Our mission is to keep you in the loop with everything Civitai. This is your one-stop resource for all the latest updates and developments.

This week we have a new Social Media Contest running, CEO Justin has been talking Civitai, and we’ve launched some super exciting new site features!

Thanks for subscribing!

  • The Civitai On-Site Image Generator is now available for all logged-in users on desktop and mobile devices! The Generator’s still in a Beta phase, but currently works with 99% of SD 1.5 based Checkpoints, LoRA and Embeddings available on Civitai! We’re working hard to add advanced prompting options, and SDXL resource support!

     

    If you’d like to submit feedback on your experience using the Generator, you can send us your thoughts here. We appreciate your input to help us shape the system!

     

    You can access the Generator interface from the Create button at the bottom right of Civitai.com, visible on all pages. Check out the Education section, below, for a guide on getting started!

  • Watch Civitai Founder and CEO, Justin, speak with popular VFX/AI videographer Enigmatic_e as they discuss all things Civitai!

  • CEO Justin will also be appearing with other industry leaders in OctoML’s Builder’s Roundtable, discussing the challenges, successes, and emerging opportunities for image generation in brand marketing, creative services, consumer apps, digital design, and AI art applications. September 13th, 11am PST, 6pm UTC. Register here!

ControlNet in use!

  • We’re experimenting with an additional image tagging system based on WD Tagger, working in tandem with our existing Amazon Rekognition image tagger, to ensure that images receive the correct filtering options. This should make our image categorization and filtering much more accurate in future, but you may see some unexpected behavior as we iron out the kinks!
