Civitai

Civitai is an open-source social platform and marketplace focused on generative artificial intelligence, particularly in AI-generated images and models. Launched in November 2022, it serves as a centralized hub for creators to upload, organize, and share custom AI models, addressing the needs of the Stable Diffusion community. The platform has quickly grown to attract over 10 million unique monthly visitors, offering a vast library of community-uploaded models, including checkpoints and LoRAs.

Civitai provides a web-based AI image generator that allows users to create images from text prompts without needing personal hardware. The platform also features community interaction tools, enabling users to build profiles, comment on models, and collaborate on projects. With a focus on democratizing access to AI tools, Civitai supports a diverse audience, including fine-tuning enthusiasts, digital artists, developers, and general consumers of AI content. The company is headquartered in Boise, Idaho, and has raised approximately $5.1 million in funding from Andreessen Horowitz.
