Full review
Civitai is a community-driven platform for sharing and discovering open generative-image models, especially Stable Diffusion checkpoints and LoRAs, each with sample generations and tags.
With hundreds of thousands of models and on-site generation, it is the nexus of open-source AI art. It rewards technical users and requires care given the breadth of community content.
