About Civitai

Civitai is the largest open-source AI image generation community on the internet — and as of 2026, a cloud generation suite, training environment, creator economy, and content community in one. The model library spans 200,000+ checkpoints including Flux 2, Stable Diffusion 4, SDXL, and SD 1.5. The built-in generator lets you test any hosted model in-browser, train custom LoRAs on Civitai’s servers (no local GPU needed), and integrate 8 video engines (Kling, Veo) under one roof. Pricing via three-color ‘Buzz’ currency or $10/mo membership.
