Creator notes

Hassaku aims to be a anime model with a bright and distinct anime style. My for everything related to anime models and art. If you'd like to support my work, you can do so at: , every bit helps and is truly appreciated! ____________________________________________________________ Supporters: Thanks to my supporters tamashiicolle, pttcot, SETI and Kodokuna ____________________________________________________________ Using the model: - The model was trained primarily on images with minimal disruptive elements, such as floating text, logos, speech bubbles, or signatures. If any of these elements appear in an image, please include "signature" in your negative prompt. - Danbooru and franchise tags are not used in training, so please avoid using them in prompts. Metadata such as "highres" and franchise tags like "re:zero kara hajimeru isekai seikatsu" are not used in training. - A CFG scale between 3 and 7 is recommended. For best results, use CFG 6 with the Euler a sampler. - Refer to the example images, to understand, how the model should be used. - The model is designed to be simple and straightforward to prompt. Use the following tag order: - Number of characters - Character Tags - All remaining tags Example: 1girl, rem \(re:zero\), standing, masterpiece, upper body - Here are some resolution options for SDXL: - 1536 x 640 - 1344 x 768 - 1216 x 832 - 1152 x 896 - 1024 x 1024 - 896 x 1152 - 832 x 1216 (most recommended) - 768 x 1344 - 640 x 1536 Lora use: - NoobAIs Loras working for the most part better in compare to - Versions 2 and 3 is less compatible to most loras trained on Illustrious or Noob, because it got further trained away of both. Style A is still the most compatible for it. ______________________________________________________ Version and License info: - Below V1 merges - Version V1 use & with additional training - V2 is trained on its own and don't include any extra merge. Base was V1, it is trained to include newer or missing characters. It was also used for further training tests - V3 is a merge of and V2.2, to fix some issues and was also trained to include newer or missing characters All Models using the license.

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.

+1,317°

Civitai downloads

22,208 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.

+500°

Likes

2,163 likes and thumbs up across the sources. A like weighs half a download, on the same log scale.

+24°

Adoption rate

About 1 downloads a day, measured between two readings of the sources, never guessed from a lifetime average. Speed weighs a quarter of the download term, so a fresh surge shows without letting a one-day spike outrank years of use.

+150°

Full model

+150° because this is a full model: a checkpoint, the weights themselves. A LoRA or an embedding is an add-on to someone else's weights and does not outrank a checkpoint of equal popularity.

−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 8,494°, 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.

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.
