Weekly CivitAI changelog dicussion thread, October 9

https://civitai.red/changelog?id=293

As usual, Updates don't support comments so you can leave those here.

• Crucibles: Seem to be generally a success and I like the concept for what it is, but we seen to be running into a severe lack of judges. P.S. They also have added leaderboards for them, which you might not have noticed.

• Nanobanana 2.1 costs the same as 2 Lite (not cheap), but it has more options. I assume it's good? Oh wait, it won't do "folded ponytail", so it's utterly useless.

• MiniMax H3 gets two more API versions, which are more flexible than the first API version and supposedly "better". It's getting quite confusing.

• Vidu Q4 is interesting in that in ONLY does i2v. Expensive, but Vidu is quite good so it might be a deal if you care about that.

• "models with generation fees can now receive generation tips"

The bugfixes and QoL are generally minor and there's a lot of them, but a few stick out:

• Stickers have a Hide controls toggle: This is a really necessary feature.

• A bounty supporter could award the bounty to their own entry, and a bounty owner could enter their own bounty: Awww maaaan, the former was probably necessary but the latter was just a fun thing you could do to confuse people. I'll miss it.

Upcoming:

• Creator journey: This will mean mostly more badges for most people.

• Qwen 2.1: Don't really see how this is worth an announcement of an announcement, but whatever.
