Just saw the announcement from Civitai Education — they said they’ve expanded resources and optimized the system, and now image generation supports all Checkpoints. They’re calling it a big milestone.
Along with this, there’s a new thing — the Auctions system. Basically, you can bid your model into a boosted slot to get more exposure, plus you get discounts on image generation. For the specific rules, they said to check that “Checkpoint Coverage and Auctions System Guide.”
That’s pretty much all the solid info in the announcement — no details on the parameters. Personally, I’m keeping an eye on this bid-for-exposure mechanic — how the exposure slots are ranked, whether it’ll subtly push people to spend money, all that depends on how it actually plays out. Anyone here tried the auction system? How was it?
