Creator notes

--- v4 --- - Improved fantasy awareness - General Improvements - Minor bug fixes --- v3 --- - Improved skin textures - Better environment adherence - Eye Improvements - Shadow and Light improvements. --- v2 --- - Improved prompt adherence (especially for non-human requests) - Better animal generation - More refined textures - Eye improvements - Lighting Improvements --- v1 --- QuadPipe is an incredibly responsive photo realistic model. It maintains native tagging while enhancing the quality of the output to a new level. QuadPipe handles text about as well as possible for SDXL and seems determined to get it close. This is my best work. I've never created a model that performs better than this one. I will continue to update this, though on a slower scale, to make sure that things are very refined before release. As always, let me know if you find any bugs, and I'll incorporate your discoveries into my next build. Thank you all for your support, I couldn't have created this model without your faith in me. Check my prompts to learn about settings etc... but in general this is what I was using when I created the demos: 768x1152 CFG 5.5-9.5 4x_foolhardy_Remacri (upscaler) 30 hires steps 0.27 Denoising Strength Upscale by 1.5 Sampler: DPM++ 2M SDE Heun Schedule: Karras Sampling Steps: 50

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.

+888°

Civitai downloads

913 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.

+309°

Likes

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

+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 7,850°, 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.

portrait, masterpiece, 4k, ray tracing, intricate details, highly-detailed, hyper-realistic, 8k RAW Editorial Photo. a whimsical close-up portrait of an alien woman with wide, sparkling eyes in shades of turquoise and teal, filled with childlike curiosity. Her smooth, mint-green skin contrasts with her bubblegum pink, wavy hair that bounces around her face in playful curls. Her mechanical features are integrated with adorable, round shapes—tiny buttons, gears, and glowing circles that softly light up in neon blue and pink. The background is a vibrant swirl of candy colors—soft magentas, electric blues, and playful oranges—resembling a cosmic candyland. Soft, glowing lights accent her cheeks and hair, giving her a joyful, cute energy, like an alien pop star from a far-off, cheerful galaxy. The entire image exudes charm and fun, blending futuristic tech with a candy-colored fantasy. cinematic light, dramatic light, shallow depth of field, high budget, bokeh, cinemascope, film grain,
