• SD3 Unbanned! 🚫

1️⃣ SD3 Unbanned from Civitai?!

We've made the decision to unban SD3 from Civitai! This means creators can now explore and develop SD3 models freely on the platform.

However, your engagement is crucial! If you're excited about SD3, dive into developing fine-tuned checkpoints, LoRAs, and content. If not, support the open-source model ecosystem instead - we’re leaving this choice to the Civitai Community!

Read more about our decision here.

2️⃣ Creator Generation Compensation

Today we’re pleased to announce that 25% of all buzz spent on the generator now goes to the creators of resources used during generation! This comes ahead of the new Early Access system and the opening of the Creator Program to allow creators to sell their Buzz back to Civitai for real money, both of which will be following shortly!

3️⃣ Huge CivBot Updates

4️⃣ Feature Requests Back in Action!

After a brief hiatus, we're thrilled to announce that feedback.civitai.com is back online! We've updated the platform with the latest user-submitted feature requests, and now it's time for you to make your voice heard. Your votes are crucial in shaping the future of Civitai, so don't miss out on this opportunity to have a direct impact!

We're also working hard behind the scenes to consolidate duplicate requests, ensuring that every unique idea gets the attention it deserves. Plus, we’ll soon be bringing back the Roadmap, giving you a clear view of what's coming next and how your feedback is driving our development.

🤖 Project Odyssey Competition - Award Winners! 🎥

🌍 Daily World Morph Challenge - Extended!🌍

We’ve extended the deadline for World Morph Challenge entries to August 9th!

Daily Challenges is an upcoming “mini-competition” feature, and we’re kicking things off with a World Morph LoRA creation Challenge!

For those who love other categories like characters or ponies, don't worry — we'll be covering those eventually too! Setting up the Daily Challenge interface will require a bit of development time, so in the meantime, we're calling on all World Morphers, both old and new, to help us fill up our Official World Morph Challenge collection!

A World Morph is a LoRA designed to transform your images according to a specific theme. It's a fantastic way to explore new creative directions and push the boundaries of your LoRA training skills!
