Civitai is a free and open-source platform that aims to foster a community of AI art enthusiasts and creators. You can browse through hundreds of models and embeddings, sorted by categories such as character, style, concept, clothing, background, etc. You can also rate and review the models and embeddings, and share your feedback with other users. You can also upload your own models and embeddings, and get recognition for your work.
Civitai is not only a website, but also an API that you can use to access the models and embeddings programmatically. You can integrate Civitai with your own applications or tools, and use the power of Stable Diffusion to enhance your projects. You can also use the API to query the ratings and reviews of the models and embeddings, and to get recommendations based on your preferences.
Civitai is a project that was started by Justin Maier, a software engineer and AI enthusiast who wanted to make AI art more accessible and fun. He was inspired by the work of OpenAI and Hugging Face, and decided to create a similar platform for Stable Diffusion models and embeddings. He hopes that Civitai will inspire more people to experiment with AI art, and to contribute to the advancement of this field.
