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.
+686°
Civitai downloads
193 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.
+228°
Likes
32 likes and thumbs up across the sources. A like weighs half a download, on the same log scale.
−146°
Age
−146° because the Zimage weights came out in 2025. 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 7,768°, 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. 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.

A haunting, melodic masterpiece illustration of psychological horror, inspired by death metal. In a rusty, underground industrial vault, a figure finds himself caught in a furious emotional vortex of swirling cathode rays. These rays are not just light; they are physical ribbons of electric-blue static electricity and jagged scanlines, aggressively wrapping around the body like a cage of artificial energy. The figure's face is an expression of agony and blissful blindness, its mouth closed in a silent, heartbreaking scream, echoing the aggressive grief of a dark calm. Thick, oily black cables erupt from the walls and floor, tethering the soul to a colossal altar of cracked, flickering CRT monitors. The air is thick with ozone, digital soot, and luminescent particles. The lighting presents a brutal contrast between the searing, unnatural blue-white glow of infrared rays and deep, inky shadows filled with the silhouettes of machinery. The atmosphere conveys the essence of despair, as a sun-starved soul finds toxic electronic salvation. 90s industrial hardcore, cyberpunk, sci-fi, hyper-detailed textures of rusty iron, chrome, and glowing glass, a cinematic Dutch perspective, strong chromatic aberration, and a mesmerizingly beautiful, tragic intensity.close-up, best quality, high resolution, stylized, aesthetic, detailed character designs, intricate, immersive storytelling, highly detailed. <lora:gl1tch:0.4> <lora:HR_Giger_z:0.5> <lora:DetailN_Z_Image:0.3> <lora:Purple_grainy_zit:0.55>

A dark, surreal acrylic painting depicts a humanoid face with intricate, organic textures. The face, with piercing eyes and a serene expression, is adorned with twisted horns and surrounded by mechanical and biological elements. The color palette is predominantly dark green and black, with subtle highlights. The texture is rough and detailed, with a metallic sheen on the horns and a soft, almost flesh-like texture on the face. The lighting is dim, creating a mysterious and eerie atmosphere. The style is reminiscent of cyberpunk or biomechanical art, blending human and machine elements.

Surrealist painting with grotesque style. Uncropped, full resolution. A detailed, dark acrylic painting of a menacing, alien creature with a skeletal, elongated body and multiple curved, segmented limbs. The creature's glossy, metallic texture contrasts with its exposed, ribbed skeleton. The lighting is dim, highlighting the creature's sinister, predatory features. The background is a textured, abstract pattern, enhancing the eerie, otherworldly atmosphere. The style is realistic with a horror theme, evoking a sense of dread and unease. It's eerie landscape. The sky is filled with dark, glowing red hues, adding to the ominous atmosphere. The texture of the painting is rough, with visible brushstrokes and a mix of dark and reddish tones.

Eyeless cybernetic creature with cables in its eye sockets, ominous close-up shot, in a narrow, claustrophobic corridor Highly detailed, realistic yet dramatic rendering with strong emphasis on metallic textures, mechanical complexity, and industrial grit. Painterly oil and airbrush technique — smooth gradients, glossy highlights on armor and face, subtle blending, and visible brush-like softness in shadows. Dark, moody color palette dominated by deep blues, purples, and blacks, contrasted by warm skin tones and small glowing orange/red accents. Heavy chiaroscuro lighting: harsh directional light from above creates deep shadows and specular highlights, giving a theatrical, almost cinematic feel. Biomechanical influences inspired by H.R. Giger but more heroic and less grotesque, combined with militaristic sci-fi tropes — bulky powered armor, integrated helmet design, and a sense of imposing scale.80s paperback illustration, airbrushed gradients, retro sci-fi realism, eerie futurism, Retro artstyle Illustration grimdark cyberpunk/sci-fi, inspired by artists like James Warhola, Brom, Luis Royo, Simon Bisley, influences from Frank Frazetta, 90s game gritty art. best quality, masterpiece, very aesthetic, ultra detailed, polished metallic rendering. <lora:Eldritch_OilPainting_Z_Image:0.6> <lora:OldschoolFantasy_v1:0.55> <lora:HR_Giger_z:0.5> <lora:Luis_Royo_-_ArtStyle_(ZiT)_ep19:0.5>

A detailed, realistic acrylic painting of a monstrous, segmented Dune worm with a ribbed, sinewy body and sharp, protruding teeth. The creature's dark, textured skin contrasts with the rough, rocky background. The lighting is dim, creating a moody, eerie atmosphere. The texture of the creature's skin is ribbed and slightly glossy, while the rocks are rugged and weathered. The style is hyper-realistic, emphasizing the creature’s grotesque and otherworldly nature.

Prompt
A detailed, realistic acrylic painting. The subject is a tall, slender, alien female figure with elongated proportions and an unsettling elegance. Her skin is pale with a faint greenish cast, stretched too smoothly over sharp cheekbones and an extended jawline. Her eyes are large, narrow, and reflective, set at an unnatural angle, with no visible whites. Her ears taper into long, blade-like points that curve backward from her head. Her hair, a deep crimson, is pulled into a tight, severe arrangement that exaggerates the sharpness of her skull. She wears a black, web-like garment that resembles lace but appears grown rather than woven, with rigid white collar elements rising unnaturally high around her neck. Thin metallic ornaments and hooked jewelry pierce the fabric and flesh alike. Her hands are clasped in front of her, but the fingers are too long and jointed incorrectly, suggested through distorted, impressionistic strokes. The background is hostile and alien: twisted spire-like forms, thorned silhouettes, and strange flowering shapes in dark purples and toxic greens dissolve into the paint. The mood is quiet, elegant, and threatening, replacing calm with controlled malice.

Retro 1980s sci-fi paperback cover illustration style, polished realism with airbrushed gradients and crisp metallic highlights. Two cute female astronauts ride together in an open-cabin space rover traveling across an alien desert landscape. The rover has rounded retrofuturistic curves, chrome details, exposed tubing, and analog instrument panels glowing softly in pastel blues and amber. The girls wear classic bubble helmets lifted slightly above their heads, smiling and laughing, wind catching their hair as the rover speeds over dusty crimson terrain. Their suits are white and orange with glossy panels and reflective trims, subtly stylized but grounded in semi-realistic anatomy. The alien planet stretches wide with lavender dunes, turquoise rock formations, and distant ringed gas giants filling the sky. A soft golden star hangs low on the horizon, casting warm cinematic rim light across their suits and the rover’s polished metal. In the background, crystalline spires and distant retro spacecraft silhouettes add scale and wonder. Heroic slightly low perspective, strong depth layering, dynamic diagonal composition suggesting forward motion. Clean linework, detailed rendering, controlled airbrush shading, vibrant but nostalgic color palette of coral, teal, pale gold, and sky blue. Joyful adventure mood, optimistic retrofuturism, classic space opera cover art, ultra-detailed, sharp focus, iconic and heartwarming atmosphere. best quality, very aesthetic. <lora:Eldritch_OilPainting_Z_Image:0.6> <lora:OldschoolFantasy_v1:0.55> <lora:HR_Giger_z:0.5> <lora:Luis_Royo_-_ArtStyle_(ZiT)_ep19:0.5>

Cathode Ray Sunshine Speak out and we receive Cathode Ray Sunshine Show me and let us in An apocalyptic photorealistic artwork, a cinematic epic of grandeur. From a low, epic angle, a group of ragged survivors in post-apocalyptic rags stand on a high, ruined overpass, faces and hands raised in silent prayer, while above them a gigantic sun flares, emitting cathode-ray beams—a blinding white core surrounded by neon-green auroras and blood-red solar flares, rays piercing ruptured toxic clouds. The landscape below is an atompunk ruin: melted highways, skeletal skyscrapers, glowing radioactive pools reflecting vibrant toxic hues. Deep shadows carve out the scene, film grain adds a gritty realism, intense color contrast between searing yellow-orange, cool indigo and a touch of sepia, a sense of grandeur and hopeless awe before the man-made deity.
