Civitai Changelog: October 3 to October 9, 2026

🚀 New Features

Crucibles

• Crucibles are open to everyone. Enter, and the community votes on entries two at a time until the best ones rise. Rankings stay hidden until it ends, and the prize pool is the host's seed plus every entry fee. Anyone with a creator score of 5,000 can run one. The launch article has the full rundown.
• Since launch: crucibles are listed on both civitai.com and civitai.red, and you pay the entry fee in your site's Buzz. Hosts can require entries made with certain base models, and can warn late entrants or close entries before the end. You can follow a crucible for a reminder before it ends, and remove your own entry while it runs (the fee stays in the pool).
• Judging got a redesign, with a progress count and streak, a briefing on your first visit, and a mark on each crucible card showing whether you have pairs left to judge. Judging needs a creator score of 500.
• Each creator wins at most one prize per crucible, so the next creator moves up. Your stats show your average finish instead of a win rate, which punished anyone who entered big crucibles.

Generation

• Nano Banana 2.1, with 1K, 2K and 4K output and extra-wide and extra-tall ratios up to 8:1 and 1:8.
• MiniMax H3 Max and HeyGen join MiniMax H3 as new versions. Max has a Turbo toggle and goes up to 1080p.
• Vidu Q4 joins Vidu, for image to video and for video from up to 15 references, at up to 4K.
• SDPose is a new pose ControlNet option, and it picks up stylized and anime characters.

Creators

• Models with a licensing fee can now receive generation tips, and tips have their own tab on the creator dashboard and their own column in Creator Studio, instead of being counted as Compensation.
• Creator announcements can carry up to three link buttons for members. Line breaks you type now show, and off-site buttons open a "you're leaving Civitai" page first.

✨ Quality of Life

• Updated Terms of Service on civitai.com and civitai.red. Violence against minors, or a violent setting where harm to a minor is shown or implied, is now named as prohibited. Ordinary play and minor accidental injuries aren't covered. On civitai.com, the broad "dangerous, harmful or inappropriate situations" line is replaced by that item and one prohibiting sexual content involving minors in any style. You'll be asked to accept the Terms again on both sites.
• The Creator Score card on your account explains how the score is earned.
• Daily article limits follow your total Creator Score, like every other score unlock, rather than a separate articles score.
• The Legends leaderboard is now called Legacy, and the Legend referral rank is now Ambassador.
• Pages jump around less while loading, on model pages, post pages and the home feed.
• The generator shows its prompt hints again, like "Your prompt goes here...".
• Reset in the generator clears only the model family you're on, instead of sending you back to the default model.
• Signed out, adding an image in the generator asks you to sign in instead of attempting an upload that fails.
• If your phone's photo picker hands over a file that can't be read, you're offered "Choose from Files" instead of an error.
• The New & Upcoming Creators home block spreads across more creators. One creator could fill a third of it.
• Stickers have a Hide controls toggle, so you can see how one will look before you place it.
• The public API has a post endpoint with its title, description and images, video thumbnails on image results, and a post's images in post order.

🐛 Bug Fixes

• The generator's queue counter could fill up and never clear after one failed job, so generating stopped until you refreshed.
• Hunyuan video was failing with "not enabled for generation" from around September 24.
• Applying Hires Fix or Face Fix changed your Denoise, and switching back to another model family lost the settings you'd chosen there.
• Image To Image from Extract Metadata crashed the page.
• The cost box and source image uploads could spin forever. A failed upload now shows an error, and an image your device can't read says so.
• Uploads on a phone could sit at their last progress forever when the connection dropped without closing.
• Signed-out visitors following a link from civitai.com to civitai.red were sent to a login page instead of the content.
• Crucible entries: an entry whose image was deleted still used up your entry slot, Skip could keep serving the same pair in small crucibles, and you were sometimes paired against two entries from the same creator.
• A bounty supporter could award the bounty to their own entry, and a bounty owner could enter their own bounty.
• The Hide model button showed on your own models and could vanish on someone else's.
• Creator Studio's Tips card counted credits that weren't tips, like support refunds.
• The collection invite link's copy button could copy nothing and still say "Copied".
• The Blue Buzz rewards link on the Buzz Dashboard did nothing on the Blue tab.

🧪 In Testing

Available to a limited group while we finish testing. If you can't see these yet, that's expected.

• Creator Journey. Your Creator Score tier with its badge, what each tier unlocks, achievements for what you've made and earned, and a Creator Showcase of the top creators.
• Qwen Image 2.1 generation and editing in the generator.

🌟 Coming Soon

• Creator Program banking change. From November 1, generation compensation stops counting toward what you can bank. It's still paid to you as it is now.

📣 Official Posts

• Crucibles: Let the Community Pick the Winner - October 2
• H3 Content Contest: Six Seconds to Win Somebody Over - October 2

You can gift any membership tier to anyone now. No more matching the tier they already have.

• They choose when it starts. A gift waits on their membership page until they hit Accept, and it tells them what it'll do first.
• Same tier as theirs: their next months are free.
• Higher tier: they move up, free for every month you paid for. After that it renews at the new tier unless they change it.
• Lower tier: its value comes off each of their next bills. Nobody gets moved down.
• No membership: free months that end on their own, no charge.
• Cancelling partway doesn't waste it. Unused months carry on as a free membership.

Gifts already applied stay as they are.

Got a gift waiting? Check your membership page.

Challenge winners now claim their prize instead of having it dropped straight into their account. Crucible winners work the same way.

• You get a notification when you win. It says "Claim your prize!" and takes you straight to it. Everything you haven't claimed yet is on your prizes page.
• On civitai.red you pick the Buzz. Green or yellow, your call.
• On civitai.com it pays green.
• Nothing is lost if you forget. A prize you don't claim pays out in green after 30 days.
• Entry prizes haven't changed. Challenge entry prizes still pay Blue Buzz automatically.

Civitai Changelog: September 26 to October 2, 2026

🚀 New Features

Generation

• FLUX 3 Image is in the generator. Text to image at 1K, 2K or 4K across 14 aspect ratios, and editing with up to 10 reference images.
• Ideogram 4.5 joins Ideogram as a second version, and brings editing with it. Like 4.0, it's SFW only.
• Sonilo music and sound effects. Describe a track or a sound, pick music or sound effect, and set the length.
• More aspect ratios. SDXL, Pony, Illustrious, NoobAI, Anima, Chroma, Flux.1, Flux.2, Flux.2 Klein, HiDream, Z-Image, Pony v7, Boogu and Ideogram now offer nine aspect ratios: 21:9, 16:9, 3:2, 4:3, 1:1, 3:4, 2:3, 9:16 and 9:21. They used to offer three. 3:2, 1:1 and 2:3 stay in the first row and the rest are under More. Flux.1 Pro gets seven, without 21:9 and 9:21.
• Running out of a paid model's free trial offers a way to buy it. The generator used to just name the model. It now opens the purchase option, and shows how many trial generations you have left before you reach the end.

Training Studio

• Audio training. Training Studio can train audio LoRAs on ACE-Step, and the old trainer points you there when you pick audio.
• A loss graph on the run page, with smoothing, a trend line and the average loss for each checkpoint.
• Download every checkpoint at once as a zip, and export a run's settings.
• Delete runs you haven't used, and filter your trainings by base model and status.
• See which dataset images are mature. Each image in the Data step shows its rating, there's a Mature filter, and Review warns you when mature images mean a non-member's run is charged in Yellow Buzz.
• Your picked base model stays picked when you change between character, style and concept, sample prompts start with your trigger word, and there are more advanced settings, each with its recommended value and a reset.

Images and Posts

• Raise your own image's rating instantly. If you know your image is more mature than its rating, you can now raise it yourself (for example, PG-13 to R) and it takes effect right away. You'll be asked to confirm first. Lowering a rating still goes to review.
• Schedule a post as little as 10 minutes ahead, down from an hour, and the scheduler opens on a time it will accept.

✨ Quality of Life

• Price badges on paid models show which Buzz the sale accepts, with Blue shown beside your site's own colour when it's accepted.
• The Buzz Dashboard remembers whether you were looking at Compensation or License Fees.
• A Boost is only offered when a checkpoint is downloading. It was being offered on small files like LoRAs, where it saved seconds.
• Suggested Resources fills the page width again, and if your own suggestions are hidden by your content filters, the empty state says so.
• Training Studio auto-captions can run to 300 tokens. They were being cut off mid-sentence.
• Video controls show up reliably, a video your browser paused shows its play button, and volume changes stick.
• Unread notification counts cap at 1k+.
• The sticker design standards state the size the upload check enforces.

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Videos keep their real shape. Videos uploaded through the API or by script were showing as cropped squares in image grids. They now display at their real aspect ratio, and longer videos get proper player controls instead of autoplaying like short clips. Videos already affected have been fixed.
• Training samples stay lined up. When a training run is missing some sample images, models published from Training Studio now keep a "No sample" placeholder in that spot. Every sample stays under the right prompt, and the up/down epoch navigation in the sample viewer stays in sync. Publishing a trained model with missing samples no longer shows "Unhandled file type" errors.
• Accurate generation prices when you change Denoise. The cost shown in the generator now updates as soon as you change the Denoise setting. Before, it could show the old price until you changed something else.
• Stuck images processed. Some images that had been stuck mid-processing were reprocessed and are now showing normally. Images hidden by a tag added after upload now go to moderator review instead of staying hidden indefinitely.
• Clicking Submit more than once on the trainer could start and charge several runs for the same model version, and only the last one stayed reachable.
• Downloading an epoch could fail with "Epoch not found" on runs started with Train Further.
• The Storage page in Creator Studio wasn't counting images and videos.
• Models could drop out of the Newest feed after a scheduled publish, or after being unpublished and published again.
• Images credited a re-upload instead of the official model when both carry the same file.
• Remixing a Draft image kept the Draft settings and charged the full rate.
• Chroma let you pick an embedding that was never applied to the image.
• Switching from images to LTXV video kept your image quantity, so 4 images queued 4 videos.
• Checkpoints for model-locked ecosystems like Qwen were offered for loading, even though the generator can't use them.
• A model page could keep saying "Not loaded" after the model had loaded.
• The search bar on the home page only returned PG results.
• The generator warned about a paid resource you hadn't selected.
• Import from Generator's Favorited, Liked and Disliked filters listed every image from a generation that had one marked image.
• Your profile's image count stayed out of date for up to a day after deleting images.
• A navigation link to an unreleased page showed for everyone and led to a 404.

🧪 In Testing

Available to a limited group while we finish testing. If you can't see these yet, that's expected.

• Qwen Image 2.1 generation and editing in the generator.
• Sponsored slots on model pages. Creators can sell a spot in their model's gallery or in Suggested Resources, priced per day and approved by them.

Civitai Changelog: September 19 to September 25, 2026

🛠️ Maintenance

• Image search is offline for maintenance. The Images tab in search says so while it's down.

🚀 New Features

Generation

• Members can load any checkpoint into the generator. Any SafeTensor checkpoint on a base model the generator already runs can be pulled in, and your job waits in the queue until the download lands. Checkpoints that are already loaded carry a green dot and work for everyone. Members download on a faster lane and can Boost with Buzz to skip the line. A Boost isn't refunded if you cancel the generation, and every place you can buy one says so.
• You can see what's loaded before you press Create. The model page's version strip and the resource picker mark versions that are already in the generator, the Create button says whether it'll start straight away, and the picker has a Loaded only filter. Models served by a partner, like Nano Banana, count as ready, since they never need a download.
• A Hide paid filter in the generator's resource picker, with a Paid badge on the card. Paid means it costs something to generate with, so a model that only charges for downloads stays visible.
• Ming Image Design is in the generator.

Training

• Training Studio is in open beta. Turn it on from the Features section of your preferences, where it has a Beta badge. A run shows its progress, logs and epoch samples as they finish, you can generate with an epoch while the rest is still training, and Compare epochs lines up every sample prompt against every checkpoint in one grid. Switch it off whenever you like, the old trainer is still there.

Notifications

• Browser push notifications. Each notification type now has Off, On and Push, and you can see and remove the devices you've turned push on for. On iPhone and iPad, add Civitai to your Home Screen first.

Comments and Profiles

• Hide one comment without hiding its replies. On your own content, a hidden comment shows as "Hidden comment" with a Show button, and the replies under it stay on the page. Model owners can also hide single replies in a model's comment thread.
• Blocking someone can also hide their comments on your content. It's a switch in the block dialog, off by default. Unblocking leaves those comments hidden, and you can show any of them again.
• Hide a user from every gallery you own at once. Gallery Moderation has a creator-wide list covering all your models and 3D models, including ones you publish later, with an optional private note per person.
• See who reacted to your images and articles. Creator Studio's content analytics has a Who reacted panel with a tab per reaction and a Follows you badge. On your own image, hover the reaction bar, or tap Who reacted on a phone, for a quick look.
• Follow back. A profile's Follow button reads Follow back when that person already follows you.

Creators

• Storage usage in Creator Studio. A Storage page under Analytics, and a card on the dashboard, show what you're storing across model files, training data, 3D files, attachments and media.
• Members get double the daily post limit.
• 3D models can be saved to collections. 3D model collections could be created but couldn't hold anything.
• Video uploads read ComfyUI metadata. A video saved from ComfyUI's SaveVideo, SaveWEBM or Video Combine brings its prompt, settings and resources with it, the way an image does.

API

• Browser apps can call /api/v1 with their own token. A request carrying a token from another site used to fail before it reached us.
• The image REST routes take a list of ids, up to 100, so an app showing a grid needs one call instead of one per image.

✨ Quality of Life

• Updated Terms of Service on civitai.red. Flatulence is now prohibited only in sexual content, the rule on sexual content in a mind-altered state has been removed (drugs in sexual content and non-consent are still prohibited), and the incest rule now states that it covers human and humanoid characters. You'll be asked to accept the Terms again on civitai.red. civitai.com's terms haven't changed.
• Error messages no longer show raw database text. You get a plain message with a short reference instead.
• Clearer sign-in when the verification check can't run in your browser. The page says what's wrong and points you at the sign-in buttons that still work, instead of asking you to try again.
• Turning on push tells you how to fix it when your browser refuses, including Brave's push messaging setting, instead of showing a raw browser error.
• The resource picker remembers your sort and type filter, and wildcard sets and additional resources let you pick several without the picker closing after each one.
• Resources you add to an image by hand are capped at 10, with up to 3 checkpoints. Auto-detected resources don't count toward either, and with Advanced Mode on you can add more than one checkpoint.
• Files that share a type and precision can be saved together. Two variants of one model used to be refused. You get a warning now.
• Long dropdowns show a scrollbar, so a list like file precision no longer looks like it ends at the fold.
• COPY ALL on an image's generation data is easier to hit, and a near miss no longer folds the panel.
• Training Studio: default steps follow the main trainer's defaults for each model, a Manage tags dialog renames or removes a tag across a dataset, auto-labeling has Automatic and Manual modes with a never-apply list, a dropped zip is imported, and a run shows how long it trained.
• Hubs: any tag that appears on images can be a source, content levels show on private hubs too, and the add-tag popover scrolls long results.
• MiniMax H3 and MiniMax Music 3 have their own group in the base model picker, and Seedance sits with ByteDance.
• The MiniMax H3 licence notice says where it applies. Its territory exclusions cover downloaded weights, not generating or training on Civitai.
• The challenge model picker only lists models you can generate with.
• A failed training links to Known Issues, where trainer outages are posted.

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Training Studio trained Illustrious and Pony runs on plain SDXL. The checkpoint you pick is what trains now, and the Review step shows the real price rather than an estimate that ran 90 to 190 Buzz high.
• Appeals on deleted content sat pending forever. An appeal on an image or model that has since been deleted is now closed and any fee refunded, and it no longer counts against your free appeals. An image under appeal is also no longer deleted while the appeal waits.
• Buying a custom Buzz amount that wasn't a multiple of 10 failed with a server error.
• Reacting again on a later day could eat into your daily reaction rewards without paying. It showed as earned, and nothing arrived.
• A failed image upload on a shaky connection looked as if you'd cancelled it, and the backup upload route never kicked in. Both work now.
• Your browsing level on civitai.red didn't survive a reload. It's saved properly now.
• Some older images rated PG didn't show on civitai.com, even though their badge said PG. civitai.com now filters on the same rating the badge shows.
• The comics feed on civitai.com showed a couple of dozen comics out of hundreds.
• California visitors who declined third-party analytics and advertising had that choice ignored from their first click to another page. It holds for the whole visit now.
• Firefox with web notifications turned off crashed every signed-in page.
• Clicking between pages could show a blank screen for about four hours on September 21 to 22.
• Remixing into a different model could leave the Generate button dead until a reload. Settings the new model doesn't support are adjusted instead.
• The generator could keep quoting the previous selection's price.
• The slow generation warning said your models needed downloading when the real cause was a busy generator. It no longer guesses.
• Flux.2 Klein's version buttons snapped back instead of switching versions.
• The training list showed less than you were charged when a run was billed in two parts.
• Model previews in the generator now follow your own browsing level.
• Krea 2 style references: an upload still in progress took a slot without showing, so the dropzone vanished with nothing on screen.
• Tags on a 3D model open the 3D listing for that tag, not the regular models page.
• Article and 3D model collections get a cover image when you haven't set one.
• The search bar at the top of the site keeps what you've typed when you switch category, and switching no longer comes back with an empty list.
• Creator Studio's Images tab could be empty for creators whose videos out-react their images.
• Creator Shop: a pack containing items you made yourself no longer counts them against a limited edition's cap, and a pack made entirely of your own items says so rather than telling you that you already own everything.

🧪 In Testing

Available to a limited group while we finish testing. If you can't see these yet, that's expected.

• Qwen Image 2.1 generation and editing in the generator. Its model page is already up.

🌟 Coming Soon

• Checkpoint loading for non-members. A free download lane is built, and it opens once we've seen what member loading does to the queue.

📣 Official Posts

• Training Studio: Watch It Train, Generate As It Goes - September 23
• Any Model, Any Time: Load It Into the Generator Yourself - September 25

Civitai Changelog: September 5 to September 12, 2026

🚀 New Features

Generation

• Ideogram 4.0. In the generator now, text to image, and strong at typography.
• GPT-Image-2.5 Flare and Sunburst. Two new versions on ChatGPT Images.
• MiniMax H3 is the default video engine. If you have already picked a video ecosystem, your choice sticks and nothing changes for you.
• ControlNet for MiniMax H3.
• A resolution tier for Krea 2. Krea 2 generated at a fixed size across every aspect ratio. There is a 1K and 2K choice now, where 2K roughly quadruples the pixels. It defaults to 1K, so your Buzz cost only moves if you opt in. The tier applies to the Raw and Turbo builds.
• ZImage and Qwen run on comfy now.

Account

• The account settings page is redesigned. Two panes instead of one long column, across all eight sections.

Models

• Suggested Resources can link both ways. Tick the box while editing and this model is added to the suggested resources of each resource you add in the same edit, for models you own. Resources belonging to someone else are skipped rather than rejected, so a mixed selection still saves everything it can. Removing a link is not symmetric: a back-link belongs to the other model's list and is removed there.
• Hide paid models. The model feed and model search both have the option now.

Additional New Features

• The support button opens a menu, and bug reports go somewhere useful. It used to open a modal whose options all led off-site or into the ticket portal, so a bug report became a support ticket that someone had to chase and usually could not resolve. "Report a bug" now opens the feedback panel instead, which attaches your session, the optional page capture and your images, so the report arrives with the console errors behind it.
• A pending review counter on collections you own or manage, so a queue waiting on you is visible without opening each one.
• Creator announcements are open to everyone. Post an announcement of your own from the Creator Studio composer and it shows on your profile. Announcements can be reported now, and a link out of one warns you that you are leaving Civitai before it opens.
• A "Made by you" filter in the sticker tray.

✨ Quality of Life

• Each file on a version downloads under its own name. A version's files all resolved to one filename, so on a model offering full and pruned builds, taking both left you with one file.
• Sharper images on post detail and the model showcase, which now serve a 2x variant.
• The resource picker no longer overflows on a narrow screen, drops searches you have moved on from, and stops retrying ones that timed out.
• The mention popup stops saying "No results" while you are still typing.
• The notifications drawer closes on tap, with the close button on the title line.
• A checked filter chip has a visible border.
• Placement descriptions show on the Buzz dashboard, so a placement row says what it was for.
• A published LoRA is named after its model rather than its version.
• Search results show the real avatar, fetched rather than taken from the search document.

🐛 Bug Fixes

• An article being scanned showed a 404. It shows a processing state now, rather than looking deleted to its own author.
• Images stranded on "Analyzing image" are unstuck, and a scan that gets stuck now raises an alert instead of sitting there.
• An image whose file never made it to storage is refused at publish rather than becoming a permanently broken row.
• Uploads relay through our own origin when a direct upload cannot reach the storage host, instead of failing.
• An image could be credited to the wrong person when another part of the site happened to bundle the same file.
• Collection owners are notified on every submission path. Some routes in did not notify at all.
• Search index. Collections re-index when their membership changes and when a post or article in them is deleted, a restored document survives a delete that arrives in the same batch, scheduled posts re-index when they actually go live, and a failed sync reports as failed instead of success.
• Editing a model was blocked when its metadata was empty in a particular way.
• Remixing with empty parameters no longer breaks validation, and a non-text metadata hash no longer errors.
• The model showcase hands off to the collection page instead of paging through it.
• Anima training no longer adds licensing fees that should not apply.
• The trainer validates your submission on the server, with one home for the SafeTensor rule rather than several.
• AIR links no longer render as NaN for base models that are not ours.

🧪 In Testing

Available to a limited group while we finish testing. If you can't see these yet, that's expected.

• Training Studio. A rebuilt training experience in closed beta: continue training from an existing run, train on a custom base by pasting a model AIR, reuse a dataset you have already uploaded, audio playback in the caption tiles, live progress, and a Buzz picker that spends Blue first.
• Paid model loading. Loading a checkpoint on demand when it is not already resident, so far behind a moderator gate while the groundwork is verified.
• Apps. An Apps pill in the sub nav, the build funnel consolidated into one state-aware page, /apps/installed renamed to /apps/activity, an app's permissions disclosed on the store page before you launch it, and per-user app storage quotas.

Civitai Changelog: August 30 to September 4, 2026

🚀 New Features

Generation

• Muse Image. Meta's image model, in the generator now, with text to image and image editing.
• MiniMax Music 3 output shows up in the queue rather than generating into nothing you could see.

Comments

• Mute a single comment thread. Notification settings used to be all or nothing: turning off replies to threads you are in silenced every thread on the site. You can now mute one thread and leave the rest alone. The mute applies to the whole chain above a comment, not just its immediate parent, so muting partway down a long thread works the way you would expect. Direct mentions still come through, because being named is not the same as somebody replying in a thread you happen to be in. It covers comments on images, posts, articles and bounties. Model page discussions run on an older comment system and are not included yet.

Models

• The model type picker is grouped, and some types have been renamed. Types are now sorted into fine-tunes, adapters, component replacements, workflow additives and other. Eleven types that were no longer worth picking have been dropped from the list, and a model already set to one of them keeps it. Clicking the type you already had selected no longer clears the field.
• Your last pricing is remembered per model type, so setting up a second LoRA does not start from scratch.
• A retired template type says so when it gets replaced, rather than changing quietly.

Additional New Features

• Customise your sub nav. Reorder items, hide the ones you do not use, and collapse the rest into More. Placement comes from your own saved config now rather than from how wide your window happens to be.
• Collections sort by when things were added. Newest sorted on the item's own age, which for images is upload order, so adding a freshly published image to a collection could drop it far down the list if it had been sitting scheduled for weeks. There is a Recently Added sort now, and it is the default for image, model, post and article collections. Newest still does what it always did.
• Featured collections rotate on the home page instead of being redrawn each time.
• A Prime toggle for Wan 3.0 in the generation form.

✨ Quality of Life

• The articles feed has its category bar back. It was removed from every feed at once in a change aimed at images. Models got theirs back a while ago and articles were left out, so this restores them.
• Cash-outs are out of the Buzz dashboard chart. A cash-out is a debit like any other, so it was landing in the same series as your generation spend. At creator volume one bar was thousands of times the next, the axis scaled to that bar, and every other day rendered under a pixel.
• A tag-filtered feed has a way back out. Opening posts or articles from a link that carries a tag narrowed the feed to it, with nothing on the page you could use to clear it again.
• The submit bar on a review clears the home indicator on iPhones with a notch. The page was not asking for the full screen, so the bar's bottom spacing always fell back to its default and sat too low.
• The crypto deposit screen always shows the minimum now. It printed the amount only when the fiat conversion came back, and that value is often missing, so the line could read "Minimum BTC deposit:" with nothing after it. A blank reads as no minimum rather than as a number we could not fetch, and a deposit under the minimum is not recoverable. It falls back to the crypto amount, and says so plainly when it has neither.

🐛 Bug Fixes

• A Buzz purchase could credit zero Buzz despite real payment. A multiplier that came through as zero, negative or not a number made the calculation return nothing, and the purchase path then wrote its idempotency marker, so retrying could not repair it. Multipliers are floored at 1 now, on both the recording and the spending side, so a purchase always credits at least what was bought.
• Magic link sign-in was broken for anyone with a capital letter before the @ in their email. The send path started preserving the case of your address on August 26 while the verify path was still lowercasing it, so the link was looked up under a different address than it was stored under, missed, and bounced to a verification error. It failed on every attempt no matter how many links you requested. 898 addresses hit it, and most of them were new signups with no account yet, so this was blocking people from joining as much as from signing in.
• A model type change left the old licence fee on its versions. Per image fees belong to fine-tunes. Changing a model to a LoRA afterwards was not checked, so the version kept charging the old fee to everyone who generated with it. A save that omits the fee is now judged against the stored stamp too.
• Profile pictures were being hidden on other people's content. Avatars were rated against the page they appeared on rather than against themselves, so on a PG image every commenter with a PG-13 avatar had theirs suppressed, even for viewers who accept PG-13.
• An unpublished article was always called a Terms of Service violation. The take-down banner said that whatever the actual reason was, and the reason list itself was written about models, resources and example images. An article pulled for being thin read as an accusation, and authors escalated it as one. Reasons are now tagged as either policy or quality, the banner follows that rather than assuming the worst, and the wording is written for an article's author.
• A notification link with no post id crashed the image page.
• Blocked people's messages are suppressed in group chats.
• Video controls on the post page. The link wrapper was swallowing gestures aimed at the video controls, and the metadata button sat over the fullscreen control.
• The guided tours stop failing silently, with the failures now measurable rather than invisible. This is the follow-up to last week's round.
• Remix provenance is recorded when you click remix, rather than read back off a URL the form may have rewritten.
• A reaction could come back empty on refresh, and the reaction milestone was counting suppressed accounts.
• A tooltip on a menu button stopped the menu opening.
• Sticker artwork stopped rotating under the draft editor's chrome.
• Restoring a deleted model updates its timestamp, so it reappears where it should, and a sweep that flips a model to Draft does the same.
• Image deletes dropped by a degraded cache are recovered into the search index.
• Manual features count toward the per creator cap.
• Creator Program stage notifications are sent at the actual boundaries.
• A Creator Shop pack submission fee can be paid in any currency the server accepts.
• Training label preference was inverted for base model types.

🧪 In Testing

Available to a limited group while we finish testing. If you can't see these yet, that's expected.

• A rebuilt generator form. The generation form is being ported onto a new foundation, staged behind flags, with the old and new lanes running side by side while we check they agree.
• App Blocks. Store card and layout work, review entry points in the host chrome, and the page resource picker widened to the LoRA family.

Civitai Changelog: August 22 to August 29, 2026

🚀 New Features

Hubs

• Build your own feed. Hubs are open to everyone now. Pick the creators, models and collections you want and a Hub pulls them into one image feed. You can add a model or a creator to a Hub straight from its own page.
• Share, follow and duplicate. Make a Hub public and anyone with the link can open and follow it, or duplicate it as a starting point for their own. A shared link gets a preview card. Making a Hub private again closes every link you have already shared.
• Set the content level per Hub. Each Hub carries its own rating cap, and what you see is that cap crossed with your own browsing settings, so a Hub can never show you more than you have asked for.

Stickers

• The Sticker Book. A new tab on your profile collecting every sticker you have been given and every one you have placed.
• Search and sort the placement tray, so a large collection is usable.
• You hear back on a placement. You are told when one is declined, when it expires, and when a moderator takes it down.

Generation

• Wan Video 3.0. Alibaba's newest video model, in the generator now. 480p, 720p and 1080p, clips from 2 to 30 seconds, text to video and image to video. On image to video it takes the aspect from your source image rather than asking.
• Krea 2 image editing. The edit workflow is now selectable in the picker, running on the Raw and Turbo builds with Turbo as the default. Community LoRAs stack on top of it.
• Veo 3.1. Veo has moved off the retired 3.0 endpoints.

Monetization

• The per tier licensing fee caps are gone. There is one flat ceiling now, and any tier can raise a price up to it whenever the creator chooses. Nothing rose on its own: prices that were sitting above the old caps were written down to what buyers were actually being charged first, so the change costs no existing buyer anything and raising a price is a decision you make.
• The eligibility floor is shown, rather than only appearing when a save is refused.

Additional New Features

• Reusable text blurbs. Write a piece of text once, name it, and drop it into any supported editor by reference. Editing the blurb updates every page it appears on without you touching those pages. It works in model and version descriptions, articles, bounties and Cosmetic Shop items.
• A Published and Draft toggle on your image feed. Draft images had no home in the product, and the only thing surfacing them was a bug that fused your drafts, bounty entry uploads and orphans into every feed whether you wanted them or not. Drafts now have their own view and stay out of the rest.
• See what an image was remixed from. Image detail shows verified provenance for the source it came from.
• Remixed images are discoverable in the feed.
• Filter your Models list as you type in Creator Studio.
• Model file details come from the file itself. Precision and type are read out of the tensor header rather than guessed.
• Training runs read their status and epochs from the orchestrator, untrained epochs are filtered out of results, and epoch filenames drop the version name while keeping the id.
• Hash and AIR follow the download variant you picked.

🔄 Changes

• Reward and purchase multipliers end when a subscription actually expires. A membership whose billing period had ended kept paying its multiplier indefinitely, in some cases for months.

✨ Quality of Life

• Restricted resource messaging says the same thing everywhere.
• The collections sidebar got its collapse toggle back, and stays usable when your browsing settings filter what it can show.
• The detail modal loads the whole post, not just the slice the feed had already fetched.
• A sale badge shows the deepest sale on the card.
• Fee editors start from the suggestion for that model type.
• The account switcher keeps the signed-in user's entry intact and refreshes an avatar when it changes.

🐛 Bug Fixes

• The tag chip row shrinks instead of shoving the filters off the modal.
• A LoRA could inherit a checkpoint's per image fee.
• Some images lost all their metadata. An AddNet image with an unreadable weight dropped everything rather than the one bad value, and SwarmUI versions were read from the wrong key.
• Resources found only by hash are now reported as unmatched rather than passing silently.
• Search sorted on attributes the model index doesn't expose.
• Removed comments were still counted, and could still appear in a notification preview.
• Feed filters. The Scheduled filter returned every unpublished image you own, drafts were served to a creator who asked for scheduled, a paged fallback restarted the feed at page one, and a sort you can't pick was still the one the feed ran.
• A released version's price can be raised again.
• An ownership check could authorize a linked resource's model.
• The moderation card shows on models pending publish, and "Use as cover image" is gated properly and fails loudly when refused.
• A perkless Buzz grant stripped a paid member's multiplier.
• A telemetry outage could fail an upload, and a failed cache clear could error a write that had already gone through.
• Challenges. A finished challenge's edit page opens read only, the daily theme is anchored to the featured resource, and one failed group no longer abandons a whole judging round.
• Email domain checks are enforced on every path that writes an account's email.
• The by-hash batch API built a download URL from a header that doesn't exist.
• The collections showcase confirm dialog closes when you press No.
• The guided tours had four faults, all live for months. The remix button opens a menu rather than going straight to the generator, so the tours that point at it now cover the menu too. Alongside that: two model page steps were silently skipping themselves, the tooltip's close button did nothing in every tour (Escape still worked), the submit step had been pushed out of the signed out generator tour, and one step scrolled hundreds of images past the heading it was describing.

🧪 In Testing

Available to a limited group while we finish testing. If you can't see these yet, that's expected.

• Scheduled model sales. Set a sale to start and end on a schedule.
• Creator announcements. Post your own announcement from the Creator Studio composer.
• The DM redesign, Seven more membership chat themes.
• More ways into the remix gallery, from the generator, the image menu and the post editor.

Civitai Changelog: August 15 to August 21, 2026

🚀 New Features

The Creator Collab Update

Four ways to get your work in front of other people's audiences, all live this week.

• Sticker Placement. Put a sticker on someone else's image. The creator decides whether their images accept placements and what a slot costs, and they're paid when they accept yours. Creators can also open free slots, so a placement doesn't always cost Buzz. Placed stickers now show on post pages and article covers as well as image detail, you can buy a sticker straight from the placement tray instead of leaving for the shop, and there's a tab for placements you've sent rather than only the ones you've received. Stickers in comments show who made them and link to their shop.
• Remix Galleries. Pay to feature your remix on someone else's image, with that image's owner approving what appears. The same idea as sticker placement, applied to whole images.
• Cosmetic Packs. Sell a set of cosmetics as a single shop item instead of listing each piece separately. Buying a pack grants every item in it.
• Collab Collections. Build a collection with people you choose. Collaborator roles are editable from the roster now, rather than remove and re-invite, and submitting an entry no longer silently makes you follow the collection.

Memberships

• Buy a membership with Buzz. A perks-only membership you pay for in Buzz rather than cash. It carries the membership perks, while the cash-only benefits like the Creator Program stay tied to a paid subscription.

Generation

• Seedance 2.5. Now selectable in the generator, with clips up to 30 seconds. It runs at 720p.
• LyCORIS and LoCon on Anima. Anima's resource picker only accepted Checkpoint, LoRA, DoRA and VAE, which put over a thousand published LoCon models out of reach in the generator. They work now.
• Your attached images feed prompt enhancement. If your generation has reference or source images, the enhancer can read them as context. They show as thumbnails in the enhance form, checked by default, so leaving one out is a deliberate choice.
• Longer video timeouts. Video generation and interpolation steps now get 40 minutes instead of 20, and a step can ask for more.

Creator Studio

• Views and impressions. New analytics across your content: image, model and article views, reactions, followers, posts published and profile views, with a comparison month. A Content tab ranks images, videos, articles, comics and 3D models by impressions, views or reactions, with drilldowns. Impressions start from August 17 and can't be backfilled, so the pages tell you where the data begins.

Additional New Features

• Save a post as a draft. The post editor autosaved, but the only way out was to leave the page, which warned you the post wasn't published and read like you were about to lose it. There's a Save as Draft button now that takes you to your drafts.
• Sort your posts oldest first. For reaching the bottom of a large backlog to review, publish or clean up.
• Likes and bookmarks have their own section. Your Liked Models and Bookmarked Articles collections now sit in a collapsible group at the top of the collections sidebar instead of mixed in with the ones you made.
• Hide Blue Buzz from your header total. The header adds Blue and earned Buzz into one number. If you're watching what you've earned, you can now show only that.
• Unpublishing your last published version takes the model down with it. A model with nothing published under it was a state nobody chose, but the model page, listings and search all had to render it.
• Reviewers can say why. A collection submission can be rejected with a reason attached.
• Training downloads come as one archive. Epoch models and sample media bundle into a single download instead of one file at a time.

🔄 Changes

• Rewards have shifted toward the collab surfaces. The follow reward and the generator feedback reward have been retired. There are two new ways to earn in their place: 10 Blue Buzz each time someone puts a sticker on your content, up to 10 a day, and 20 Blue Buzz for each remix submission you accept, up to 5 a day. Both scale with your membership tier.

✨ Quality of Life

• Removal notifications say which rule. "Removed due to a Terms of Service violation" never told you which one, even though the moderator had picked a reason. That reason now reaches you.
• See what buyers pay on your own model. Both price badges only rendered for viewers who had to pay, and an owner always has access, so creators couldn't check their own download or generation price without opening the edit form.
• Green Buzz counts toward your earnings. The earnings figure filtered to Yellow only, so Green income was missing from what creators were shown they had made.
• Uploads report every unresolved resource. A creator with four unresolvable LoRAs was told about one.
• The header balance shows a decimal.
• Early access refunds have a window. Unpublishing a model demanded a full refund to early access buyers however long ago they bought. Early access itself runs 30 days at most, so purchases past that window no longer block the unpublish, and the confirm dialog says how many buyers keep theirs.
• The mobile browsing level control is hidden where it can't do anything. On domains that don't serve mature content the picker was inert, but the mobile menu still offered it, so you could tick R, X and XXX, watch the chips stay ticked, and get exactly the same page. Desktop already hid it.

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Hidden generation data was still being served. An image with its metadata hidden had that metadata returned anyway on bounty pages and cover image lookups. The creator's choice is respected everywhere now.
• "Run on Civitai" was being ignored. A creator could untick it and still get a working Create button, because generation coverage accepted any one of three permissions. On some base models our own model page published a licence line saying not to run it on Civitai, right beside a button that did. It now requires the permission it names.
• Comic views were roughly half of reality. View tracking sat inside a component that waited for the whole comic to load, so anything under about six seconds never counted, and 47% of comic visits are shorter than that.
• LoRAs with a short hash in their metadata didn't resolve on uploaded images.
• Blocking gaps. Blocking is now enforced on legacy model comments and review edits, and notifications no longer cross a block.
• The model file dropzone wouldn't open on iOS.
• Image detail. A mouse drag couldn't leave the carousel, and the LoRA strength badge was pushed out of the panel.
• A canceled generation reported itself as a failure.
• MiniMax image to video now takes its size from the source frame, and an engine remix seeds the source image's aspect ratio.
• Training datasets aren't called corrupt on the first try. Image loads retry before the file is rejected.
• Search. A Meilisearch error was being reported as a search outage, the browsing level filter could be replaced by an autocomplete token or emitted empty, and the moderator benign phrase list now applies to search as well.
• Filters that switched themselves on. A link carrying earlyAccess=false turned the filter on rather than off.
• The collections add-content picker offered unpublished images.
• Hidden and draft articles now return a proper 404 instead of a page search engines would index.
• The Tipalti payments card shows for creators who have an account.
• The home page showed the same image more than once. Featured Images, New and Upcoming, and Featured Collections draw from overlapping pools, so a picture could appear two or three times on one screen. Each block now skips anything already shown above it.
• System tips were counted toward banking cap peak earnings.

🧪 In Testing

Available to a limited group while we finish testing. If you can't see these yet, that's expected.

• Hubs. Image feeds you compose yourself at /hubs, built from creators, model versions and collections you pick.
• Scheduled model sales. Set a sale on your models to start and end on a schedule.
• Creator announcements. Post an announcement of your own, on your profile.
• The DM redesign. A rebuilt chat with themes, layout options, message editing, and emoji and sticker completion.
• Meshy v7 on PolyGen. Image to 3D and multi image to 3D on the new version.

Weekly Update: August 8 to August 14, 2026

🚀 New Features

A separate profile for civitai.com

Creators can now set a different cover image, announcement and bio for civitai.com. Leave any of them blank and that one inherits your default, so you only override the pieces you want to change.

MiniMax H3

MiniMax H3 is available in the generator, with a turbo toggle. It ships with the MiniMax H3 Community License registered, so the licence terms show up where you'd expect them.

Qwen 3

Alibaba's Qwen 3 image model is now in the generator, for both text to image and image editing, and it works with the Enhance prompt switch. It runs as its own ecosystem rather than joining Qwen or Qwen 2, so LoRAs and other resources built for those don't carry across.

Challenge judging got a new engine

Challenges can now be judged by a pairwise ladder instead of absolute scores. Absolute scoring runs out of room on a large challenge, where dozens of entries land on the same value and ties come down to a coin flip. Comparing entries against each other doesn't have that ceiling. Existing challenges keep running exactly as they did.

Resale terms are locked in per listing

If you're reselling another creator's item in your shop, the terms you listed under are now stored with your listing. The original creator lowering their share or withdrawing resale can't change what you're paid or pull the item out of your shop. If they withdraw the item itself you'll get a notification, and bringing it back sends it through review again.

✨ Quality of Life

• Copy a link straight to a comment. Comment menus now have copy-link and copy-comment-id actions.
• Report a sticker from the sticker itself. No more hunting for where the report action lives.
• The Creator Shop submission fee now says it's non-refundable on the submission screen, rather than leaving you to find out.
• The resource picker opens straight away. It used to sit for about five seconds on its default tab before showing you anything.

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Hiding or showing a prompt wiped the image's generation data. The HIDE PROMPT button on the post editor sent nothing but the toggle, and that write cleared the stored metadata. It went both ways, so revealing a prompt destroyed it just as hiding it did. Fixed, and the metadata editor and comics drawer were never affected.
• Pinned posts showed images from other versions. A pinned post landed in a version's gallery whole, including images made with a different version. Across the 6,000 newest pins, roughly 9% of pinned images were showing on a version that never made them.
• The featured collections grid on the homepage rendered 8 of 14.
• Changing your leaderboard showcase didn't take, and could erase your badge.
• Creators are paid in the currency the buyer actually spent. This covers tips, donations and paid access.
• Winning a Community challenge triggered the Daily winner cooldown, which it shouldn't.
• Challenge entries now require a detected resource, so an entry can't slip in without one.
• Bounties awarded by the nightly job now record when they were awarded.
• Link previews stopped working. The image behind /api/og was returning a server error, so shared links rendered without their preview card.
• Collection collaborator invites now respect blocks in both directions.

🧪 In Testing

If you can't see these yet, that's expected. They're switched on for testers and moderators while we work through them.

• Sticker placement. Placing a paid sticker on someone else's image, now including feed cards rather than only the image detail view.
• App Listings. The app store catalogue, open to moderators and app developers.
• Grok Imagine Image 2.0, behind a flag while we test it.
• A feedback prompt on the image and video feeds, so you can tell us directly how the new feed system is doing.

Civitai Changelog: August 1 to August 7, 2026
Our first weekly update. From here on, expect one of these every Friday.
🚀 New Features
Creator Studio
• Bulk monetization editing. Select any number of versions and set a licensing fee, set early or paid access, set usage control, clear a fee, or remove paid access in one pass. Your selection survives the apply, so you can run one operation straight into the next over the same versions.
• Earnings split by channel. Per model earnings now break out license fees, generation compensation, early access, permanent access, and donations instead of one blended number. Access sales and donations were missing from that figure entirely before. Cash keeps its own columns and is never summed with Buzz.
• Model level analytics. A Versions / Models toggle on /analytics/models folds every version of a model into a single row, with the version count shown so a rolled up row can't be mistaken for one version.
• See who reacted. A new panel on /analytics/audience splits your reactions by whether the reactor follows you.
• The Buzz type filter works on the dashboard. Picking a Buzz type now actually filters what the dashboard shows.
Monetization
• The per tier caps are published. The Creator Program and membership pages now show the real licensing fee and paid access price numbers per tier rather than describing them as "higher at higher tiers". Both pages read the caps from the same place the server enforces them, so a page can't advertise a price that would be rejected. Setting a price above your cap keeps earning at the cap and is restored in full if you upgrade.
• Spend Blue Buzz on cosmetics. Creators can opt to accept Blue Buzz on their Cosmetic Shop items, so where the creator allows it you can buy a cosmetic with Blue Buzz.
• Accept Blue Buzz for paid access. The same option on a model version's paid access terms. Buyers can pay the same price in Blue Buzz, and you're paid in Blue Buzz for those sales. Blue purchases don't advance a donation goal.
• Earn on Civitai. /creator-program has been rebuilt from a banking page into a full hub covering every way you earn here: generation compensation, tips, image rewards, early and paid access, licensing fees, and shops, with the Creator Program itself set apart in its own section.
New Models
• Flux 3 Video. Black Forest Labs' FLUX.3 video model with native audio, live in the generator. Text to video, image to video, and first and last frame.
• Grok Imagine v1.5. A new version inside the Grok ecosystem, alongside v1.0. Text to video, image to video, and reference to video with up to seven reference images. 1080p on text to video and image to video, 720p on reference to video. Video only.
• MiniMax H3. The Day-0 model we announced last month is now selectable in the generator.
Additional New Features
• Gift memberships. Buy someone one, three, or six months of Bronze, Silver, or Gold. If they already have a membership the gift extends it, and if they don't it sets one up. You can attach a message and send it anonymously, and you'll both get an email once it's applied.
• New and Upcoming Creators. The new creator boards now have matching feeds and a home block, so you can browse what those creators are actually making instead of reading a list of names.
• Wishlist shop items. A wishlist puck on every Cosmetic Shop card and a Wishlisted filter chip on /shop.
• Comfy Workflows are their own model type. Comfy workflows are browsable and filterable on their own rather than mixed in with every other workflow format.
• Unpublish a model that has early access buyers. This used to just fail. Now you're shown the buyer count and the total Buzz first, and confirming refunds every buyer from your yellow account and revokes their access.
• Move a recurring auction bid to the latest version. Re point a standing bid at your newest eligible published version without touching a bid that's already been charged today.
• Copy settings only from a template. A checkbox on the model wizard's template picker that carries over settings without inheriting the template's description and tags.
• Account deletion removes your images. Closing your account now clears your images from our storage as well as the site.
✨ Quality of Life
• One notification per comment. A single comment could satisfy several notification types at once, so a comment on your model, in a thread you're in, that also mentions you, sent you three separate notifications. You get one now.
• Licensing fees read as whole numbers. The model page showed fees like "0.1 / image" because the fee is stored per generation. It now reads "1 / 10 images", matching how you set it, and video models read "videos".
• The cost breakdown shows what your fee actually earns. If your tier cap is lower than the fee you set, the generator now shows both numbers instead of leaving you to work out why your setting and the quoted fee disagree.
• Fee editors stop rewriting your fee. If your stored fee is above your current tier cap, opening the editor or changing the denominator no longer quietly drops it to the cap.
• Buzz Dashboard and Transaction History name things honestly. License fee payouts were rendering as "Tip", so creators earning through fees saw nothing but Tip rows and reasonably assumed the payouts had stopped. The daily payout is now called "Generation compensation" rather than "Creator tip compensation", permanent access sales no longer read as timed early access, and the Buzz bolt takes its color from the account type instead of from whether the row was a credit.
• Withdrawal minimum explained. If you've withdrawn before and your ready balance is under $50, you now get the explanation instead of a disabled button with no reason.
• Account closure is honest about timing. Image removal runs in the background and can take up to a day. The old copy said "right away".
🐛 Bug Fixes
• Large uploads. A model file could reach 100% and then sit there with no error and no file saved, which hit 40GB plus uploads routinely. Parts now retry properly, a part whose signature expired mid transfer gets re signed instead of dying, and an upload that genuinely fails ends in a real error you can retry.
• Comment notifications. Comments on your posts never notified you at all, and neither did comments on your bounty entries. Both work now.
• Notification settings. Turning all notifications off was subscribing people to Cosmetic Shop promos, because that one type works the opposite way round from every other. The three 3D notification types also arrived while their checkbox showed off, and ticking it silenced them. Both fixed.
• Phantom downloads. Every draft version showed one download before it went live. That was our own file scanner fetching the upload, and it no longer counts.
• Donation goals. Concurrent writes could leave an entity with several identical goals, splitting the total so a goal that was already met showed as barely started. Duplicates have been merged and only one goal per entity is possible now.
• Cleared licensing fees. Clearing a fee left the version earning nothing at all, no fee and no compensation. Fixed, and the versions stuck in that state have been released.
• Early access pricing. A timed early access window was having the permanent sale price cap applied to it, which undercharged.
• Generation only usage control. This is a Gold tier control, but two of the paths that set it weren't checking, so creators below Gold could turn it on anyway. Both check now. Versions already set to generation only keep working and stay editable.
• Challenges. A judge that declined to score an entry could brick the winner pick and leave the challenge looping. An already refunded entry is treated as done rather than as a refund failure, and a slow metadata write can no longer clobber a challenge that's being completed.
• Scheduled posts and the daily reward. Scheduling posts either lost the first daily post Buzz outright or spent the whole day's cap the moment you scheduled. The reward is now granted when the post actually goes live.
• Articles. An article whose text happened to start with a curly brace could break its own page for every reader, including its owner, with no way to edit it back.
• Apostrophes. An apostrophe in a profile stat preference or in a user setting made the save fail with a server error.
• Stuck image processing. A scan that succeeded but returned nothing usable, most often a video whose frames couldn't be extracted, left the image Pending forever with no retry. It now ends properly and can be rescanned.
• Broken cover images. An abandoned draft could be restored weeks later and create a cover pointing at a file that no longer existed. Uploads are verified before the row is created.
• Prompt enhancement. A slow enhancement could hold your generation request open until the whole thing timed out. It's bounded now, so if the enhancer doesn't come back in time the generation just runs with your prompt as written.
• Leaderboards. A couple of mature leaderboards were showing on civitai.com. Leaderboards are domain aware now, so those appear on civitai.red instead.
• Creator Shop. Seller usernames are no longer truncated in the resell view.
🧪 In Testing
Available to a limited group while we finish testing. If you cannot see these yet, that is expected.
• Apps and Marketplace. The developer apps marketplace is still limited to moderators and a small group of invited app developers. Not yet open to general users.
🌟 Coming Soon
• Gift memberships. Pre-pay one, three, or six months of a Green membership for someone else, with the gift applied to their existing membership or set up fresh if they do not have one.

CHANGELOG

ANNOUNCEMENT

Civitai Changelog: July 2026

🚀 New Features

Creator Shop

• Creator Shops are open to everyone. Run a shop right on your profile. Design and sell your own cosmetics (badges, decorations, profile backgrounds, avatar frames), keep 70% of every sale, and list your models alongside them. Opening a shop no longer requires a Creator Program membership, so any creator can start selling today.
• Design cosmetics with the Cosmetic Studio. A dedicated design tool at cosmetic-studio.civitai.com for building shop-ready cosmetics that meet our standards, then upload straight to your shop. You can also launch it right from the cosmetic submission flow.
• Community Cosmetics on the Shop. Every published creator cosmetic now appears in one browsable feed on the Shop, filterable by type, so buyers can find your work without visiting your profile first.

Creator Studio

• A new home for creators at creator-studio.civitai.com, linked from your user menu. Track your earnings and analytics, set licensing fees and paid access per model version, and join the Creator Program, all in one place.
• Base compensation stays for every creator. You keep earning when people generate with your models, member or not, with nothing to set and nothing to opt into. Everything below is optional and stacks on top of that baseline.
• Monetization is open to every creator. Licensing fees and paid access are opt-in tools available to all, no longer membership only. Your tier decides how much you can charge rather than whether you can charge at all, and video models get their own higher ceilings since video costs more to generate.
• Permanent paid access. Set permanent paid access on a version from the Creator Studio, with higher allowances for members.

New Models

• MageFlow. Microsoft's Mage-Flow, a 4B native resolution model for both generating and editing, with separate checkpoint sets for text to image and Edit.
• MiniMax H3. We're a Day-0 launch partner for this open-weights, multimodal video model, live in the generator now with open weights following in a few days. Native 2K video with synchronized audio-driven lip-sync, text to video, first and last frame, and up to nine reference images (your first five are free, and audio input is free).
• Reve 2.1. A new image generation ecosystem.
• Seedream 5.0 Pro. A new 2K image model.
• NanoBanana2Lite. A lighter NanoBanana 2 variant.
• Boogu Edit Turbo. A faster variant of Boogu editing.

New Generator Features

• ControlNet on Anima. Anima generation now supports ControlNet.
• Better model pickers. Smarter base model defaults with type to search, plus a unified resource picker.

New Training Models

• Mage-Flow LoRA training. Train LoRAs on Mage-Flow, joining Anima, Boogu, and Krea 2.

User Challenges

• Public user created challenges. Anyone can now create a challenge, not just testers. Official challenges continue as before.
• Challenges Center. A redesigned challenges hub with a Your Challenges section, filters, and creator scoring.

3D

• 3D Models are now available to everyone. Previously limited to a test group, the 3D feed and 3D generator are open to all users. Generate 3D models, turn any generated image into a 3D model, and view results in a full screen viewer with animation playback.
• Image to 3D with Tripo and Hunyuan3D. Two new 3D ecosystems for turning images into 3D models.

Additional New Features

• Comics. There is now a Followed Comics filter in your feed.
• Referral Program v2. A rebuilt referral dashboard with reward tracking.
• Ecosystem pages. Every generation ecosystem now has its own hub page under /ecosystems, with top models, LoRAs, and example generations.
• Buzz transaction export. Download your Buzz history as CSV, with multi account transaction history.
• Pin comments on your own content. Model owners and content owners can pin comments, not just moderators.
• Public API for articles and collections. New rate limited REST endpoints.
• Paid access state on the public API. Model version paid access details are now exposed on the v1 API.
• Blue Buzz for merch purchases. Shopify merch orders now grant Blue Buzz.

✨ Quality of Life

• Licensing fees are now itemized. The generation cost popover shows a per resource licensing fee breakdown in a clearer sectioned layout, and training always prices the license fee into the estimate.
• Simpler licensing fee setup. Set the fee as a whole number of Buzz per N generations, with a suggested default based on the model type.
• Creator controls. Creator Program members can hide model metrics (Buzz, downloads, generations), and creators can hide the collected amount on donation goals.
• Swipe through gallery cards. A new opt in setting drags between a post's images on model gallery cards instead of using the small arrows. Turn it on under Account settings, Browsing Settings, Image Preferences.
• Manage your payment method. Members can now open the Stripe billing portal from the site to update the card on file.
• Contest submission notifications. You get notified when your contest entry is accepted or rejected.
• Contest base model rules. Contests can require entries to use specific base models, and model entries now qualify on the version date rather than the model date.
• Badge management on your profile. Hide badges entirely, highlight the ones you select, and use collapsible badge pickers.
• Compare training samples across epochs. Training sample images open in a fullscreen viewer. Left and right move between samples in an epoch, up and down hold the same prompt and step through the epochs.
• Generate links pick the model. A /generate link with a model version now actually selects that model in the generator.
• Rename your training downloads. Set a custom filename for safetensors downloads.
• Ads. Close the adhesive footer if an ad fails to load.
• Contest dates in your local time. Submission deadlines now render in your timezone.
• Faster pages. Membership plans no longer flash while loading, My Models loads much faster, and the model page shifts less as it loads.
• Accessibility. A pass over the generator, header, and card menus improved screen reader naming and keyboard support.
• New base model badges. Krea 2 (KR2) and Anima (ANI) indicators on model cards.

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Uploads. The version wizard no longer jumps to the post step mid upload, and interrupted uploads return a clear error instead of a generic failure.
• Image processing. A failed scan no longer strands an image or wedges the queue, so a new upload no longer waits behind images the scanner had already rejected.
• Generation prompts. The moderator maintained benign phrase lists now apply to the prompt check itself, not just the post generation scan, so clearing a phrase actually unblocks the generation that produced the flagged image.
• Generation. Krea 2 aspect ratio sizes display correctly, Anima applies your requested sampler and scheduler, Seedream 5.0 Pro correctly offers 2K only, and the resource picker no longer comes back empty.
• Training. Flux2 Klein, LTX2, and Mage-Flow trainers now point at the right base models, and MageFlow generations are counted properly.
• Model pages. Training and Usage Tips rows are back on version details, bulk image deletion no longer strands published versions, and the download card stays put on unpublished versions.
• Downloads. An access denial no longer claims you need to log in, and a stale availability record no longer blocks a public model.
• Early Access. Purchases whose access grant went through are no longer refunded by mistake.
• Challenges. Winner payouts are keyed to the recorded place, so a round cannot pay a prize twice.
• Bounties. Editing a bounty no longer drops the Buzz type.
• Search. Images from deleted models are removed from the search index, and filtered model cards show the cover from the matching base model version.
• Memberships. Monthly membership badge delivery is now self healing.
• Discord Linked Roles. Linked role verification works again. Discord was refusing the connection, so roles could not be verified.
• Mature content on civitai.red. Image queries no longer return empty results from a missing browsing level, and unlisted tags are no longer exposed in the client.
• Blocking. Blocking is enforced on comments, reactions, reviews, and now shop visibility and purchases. Creators can see and report a blocker's engagement with their own content, and a block no longer stops unrelated new users from commenting.
• Reports and moderation. Reports on deleted images no longer error, and unrated images stay reviewable.
• Articles. Article text is sent to moderation and search as text rather than raw HTML.
• Editor. Headings are sized correctly in the rich text editor and blockquotes survive saving.
• Image detail. Keyboard and swipe navigation work again.
• Mobile. Pull to refresh no longer fires where it makes no sense, and the Buzz dashboard no longer scrolls sideways.
• Payments. The payment success page no longer errors on redirect.
• Bug reports. The /bugs link works on civitai.red instead of bouncing to civitai.com.
• Dark mode. Disabled reaction counts are readable again.

🧪 In Testing

Available to a limited group while we finish testing. If you cannot see these yet, that is expected.

• Apps and Marketplace. The developer apps marketplace is still limited to moderators and a small group of invited app developers. Not yet open to general users.

🌟 Coming Soon

• Gift memberships. Pre-pay one, three, or six months of a Green membership for someone else, with the gift applied to their existing membership or set up fresh if they do not have one.

ANNOUNCEMENT

CHANGELOG

Another batch to share. A new product launching in beta, a couple of long-requested training updates, the generator getting cheaper at scale, and a fresh page for tracking known issues. Plus a stack of small fixes and a sunset note at the end.

All of the following is live now.

🎵 Civitai Radio (Beta)

Civitai Radio is live in beta. Tune into community-built stations playing AI-generated music on demand, or spin up your own station, pick a DJ voice (or record your own), and let people tune in to you. The full article has the details and what's coming next for music on Civitai.

⚙️ Anima Training: Member Early Access

We launched Anima Base generation on-site last week. This week, Members get early access to Anima training. If you've been waiting to fine-tune in this ecosystem, you can now.

🎨 ControlNet Support for SD1, SDXL, Flux.1, and Z-Image

The popular feature from 2023 is finally on-site. You can now generate images guided by the outlines or depth of another image. Find it in the advanced options inside the text-to-image workflow for these ecosystems.

💰 Bulk Discount on Image Generation

Generate more at a time, pay less per image. Starting at 2 images per batch you get a small discount, scaling up to 25% off at 12 images. Applies to: SD 1.5, SDXL, Pony, Illustrious, Flux.1, Flux.2 Klein, Z-Image, HiDream, HiDream o1, and Anima. The discount comes off the generation cost; license fees (like Anima's) are unchanged.

🎯 Known Issues Page

I get ragged on every time we post about new features. "What about the bugs?" Fair. So we built a Known Issues page. Active bugs we're working on, things we believe are fixed and are reviewing, and the rest. This is a brand-new page and we'll be refining it as we use it. Go check it out next time you're wondering whether something is on our radar.

🛠️ Quality of Life

• Better empty state on post pages: when images on a post are hidden by your filters, you now get a contextual filter notice explaining why, instead of the generic "no images" message.

• Moderation flags on the post editor: image cards in the post editor now surface needs-review and minor status so you can spot moderation state at a glance. The publish confirmation and review warning dialogs were also consolidated so you don't get prompted twice.

• Scheduled images filter: there's now a "Scheduled" chip in the media filter dropdown, default-off. Previously your own scheduled images were pinned to the top of every feed whether you wanted that or not. Now they're opt-in.

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Followed Only filter no longer resets when you hit Clear Filters inside the filters panel. The Followed scope is preserved.

• GGUF quant downloads now actually download the variant you picked. Previously every variant was falling back to the default quant.

• PG13 content on civitai.red while logged out now shows the sign-in prompt instead of a confusing "no images visible at your current browsing settings" message. Same behavior as civitai.com.

• Person-of-interest tags (Celebrity, Actor, Actress, Real Person, etc.) can no longer be attached at model upload time.

• Autocomplete now says person-of-interest searches are filtered, not blocked. The old wording made it sound harder than it is.

• Account menu items now respect feature-flag visibility correctly when the flag is undefined.

👋 Kohya Trainer End-of-Life

We're retiring the Kohya trainer. We've fully transitioned to AI Toolkit and, after a lot of community feedback and iteration, it's now performing as well or better than Kohya in most cases. Because Kohya is end-of-life, we've also had to apply a slight price increase to the remaining runs.

If you've been on Kohya, this is a good week to try AI Toolkit.

IMAGE & VIDEO FEEDS

We wanted to share what's behind the issue some of you have seen where images or models seem to flip between published and unpublished, or where one person can see something in a feed and another can't.

What's happening

Our image feeds, the main feed, model galleries (the images shown on a model's page), and user image feeds — are powered by a search index called Meilisearch. To keep up with the volume of content on the platform, we run two Meilisearch instances side by side. Each one receives updates from our main app independently, and they don't always process those updates at the same pace. One instance might be a bit behind the other at any given moment.

Until today, requests were round-robined between the two instances. That meant if you refreshed the page, you might hit a different instance each time. If those instances disagreed about the current state of a piece of content, you'd see things appear, disappear, and reappear between refreshes.

What we just shipped

We've changed how requests are routed so that you'll consistently be served by the same instance rather than bouncing between them. This won't fully eliminate the underlying inconsistency — one user may still see something another doesn't until both instances catch up — but it does stop the flicker where content seems to vanish and come back on your own screen.

Your content is safe

This is a routing and indexing issue, not a data issue. Your images, models, and ratings are intact on our end. There's nothing you need to delete or re-upload.

The longer-term fix

We've been building a replacement for this indexing system for several months. It's designed to give us real-time, consistent feed updates across all users — no more minutes-long lag, no more disagreement between instances. We hit some setbacks in our initial implementation and are taking another pass at it, but it's actively in progress. When it lands, feeds won't just be more consistent — they'll be dramatically faster.

Thanks for your patience while we get this across the finish line.
