It’s been a busy year so far here at the desk of KFT, so here’s an update that keeps things succinct for our miniscule attention spans.

Thanks to the 7000+ users/bots now following me here on Civit! 🤖
It’s been a lot of fun over the last 8 months here. Whether you tried out my models, engaged in good banter/discussions, or just gave some reactions along the way: I appreciate it, and I’ve made a lot of great personal and professional connections that I look forward to building further.
⚡70K Buzz 4 Training Giveaway⚡
That’s right, I’m giving away (up to) 70,000 buzz here in this article, but there’s a catch!
I’m giving this buzz out to those who want to train models, not just for commenting or following.
Maybe you’re out of buzz and have an idea you want to try, or maybe you’ve never trained a model and some buzz would help you over the hurdle of trying out the CIvitai model trainer. I'll help you over that hurdle!
Just comment on this thread with the model you want to train (e.g., a specific character, certain style, etc.), and I’ll send you buzz to make it happen.
My only ask is that when you publish it, @ me in the description (@kftiger) so I can see how it turned out! But I'm not about to track you down if you don't tag me, the model doesn't turn out, etc.
If you’re looking to train a FLUX model for the first time here on Civit, I recommend checking out these shameless self-promotional videos:
Why I’m NOT Leaving / What’s Next
I know several users have left this platform because of recent buzz/creator’s club changes (or at least made articles saying they’re leaving), but I’m not going anywhere soon. I do this for the open-source community, building up connections, and developing my skills while having fun making cool things and seeing what others come up with.
While I have been working more on the corporate side of creative AI lately, I learn the most from building and sharing creative stuff on communities like this one, and there's really no other community that brings all of this together.
KFTiger’s Den Discord
We’ve got a fun little half-serious/half-fun community for being creative with AI and sharing processes/training, collaborating on projects/getting feedback, making memes, and more.
It's not targeted to be a large group, but a place for cool folks with common creative AI interests to connect. Feel free to join, or don't - I'm not your boss/landlord!
