Congress finally did #ExpelSantos.
Now require likewise for those other members of Congress who are guilty of fraud and theft, USA.
And if you are represented by any of the majority of the House GOP who wanted to let Santos remain in Congress; demonstrate to them how unacceptable that was.

Things are progressing very rapidly in this dawn of the AI and likewise for the AI Horde. I thought it would be a good idea to post about all the things that changed and improved in recent days for our service.
More Requests. More statistics.
I’ve deployed endpoints to measure the usage of the AI horde. Now that one month has passed, we can take a look.
- Per day, we are averaging 356,378 images (3.7 terapixelsteps) and 45,248 texts (4 megatokens)
- In the past month, we produced 11,475,183 images, generating a staggering 127.6 terapixelsteps. Text has also picked up significant speed since merging the hordes with 1,241,895 generated texts for a total of 112.8 megatokens!
Top 10 Stable Diffusion models
The AI Horde offers close to 200 models at the same time. Our statistics allows us to see how the popularity of the various models changes day to day and month to month. The below are just the top 10 models being used.
- Deliberate 22.2% (2550591)
- stable_diffusion 15.1% (1730426)
- Anything Diffusion 11.0% (1257688)
- Hentai Diffusion 4.1% (468473)
- Realistic Vision 3.0% (338742)
- Counterfeit 2.7% (310337)
- URPM 2.6% (297853)
- Project Unreal Engine 5 2.5% (289006)
- waifu_diffusion 1.8% (211572)
- Abyss OrangeMix 1.8% (205268)
For the longest time SD 1.5 (stable_diffusion above) was king, but in the past month, Deliberate has confidently taken the lead and has been leading the pack with a staggering 20% of all image requests passing through the AI Horde! This speaks very highly for the popularity of the model
Top 10 Text models
Almost as many text models exist for the AI Horde, but they’re more varied. However last months saw the release of two big milestones, the Pygmalion models for chat-like generation, which happened after the gimping of the Character AI models. The new Llama model was also released, bringing unparalleled miniaturization of the model size, allowing consumer GPUs far more coherence.
- PygmalionAI/pygmalion-6b 52.4% (651566)
- KoboldAI/OPT-13B-Erebus 14.0% (174393)
- KoboldAI/OPT-6.7B-Erebus 6.7% (83249)
- KoboldAI/OPT-6.7B-Nerybus-Mix 3.8% (46747)
- KoboldAI/OPT-13B-Nerybus-Mix 2.8% (35110)
- KoboldAI/OPT-13B-Nerys-v2 2.7% (33667)
- Facebook/LLaMA-13b 1.9% (23367)
- KoboldAI/OPT-6B-nerys-v2 1.9% (23232)
- OPT-6.7B-Nerybus-Mix 1.6% (19268)
- KoboldAI/OPT-2.7B-Erebus 1.0% (12464)
We can see Pygmalion has immediately dominated text generation, with Mr.Seeker’s storytelling models mopping up the rest, but the Llama Ascendancy is just beggining!
Ratings, botting and counter-measures
A few months ago we started collecting ratings for the LAION non-profit to help improve the models existing in the commons, as the success of midjourney has a lot to do with them training their models with the best images their previous generation created.
The initial design was very simple to allow integrators to onboard it fast and giving good kudos rewards for those helping us. Unfortunately people almost immediately started abusing this by creating bots to rate randomly, therefore poisoning our collection’s accuracy.
I always knew this was a possibility but I was hoping I wouldn’t be forced to add countermeasures quite so soon. So I spent quite a few days adding a captcha mechanism (along other things) to block at least the low hanging fruit.
It immediately led to a drop in ratings per day which automatically shows just how much damage botted ratings were doing
New Features
We are fortunate enough to have gathered some great collators for the inference aspect of the AI Horde. So I wanted a big shout-out.
- ResidentChief has stepped up strongly to help add new features and squash bugs in the nataili library. As a result the AI Horde now supports inpainting on many more models, a lot more post-processors, such as more upscalers and background removers, controlnet improvements, and so many other stuff too numerous to mention. They’re a beast!
- Jug has been working on improving the AI Horde worker practically non-stop. Giving us a great terminal control, and improving the webui. Plus a lot of bugfixes and improvements in the bridge part of things
- Tazlin who’s been doing a great deal of tech support in the channels as well as helping me detect and figure out malicious ratings. And also sending some code improvements as well!
- Aes Sedai who’s been putting a ton of work on improving the moderation capabilities of the AI Horde with a custom frontend.
And of course all the frontend integrators like rockbandit, aqualxx, sgt.chaos and concedo, who’ve been keeping the frontends up to date, with a lot of features smartly using the capabilities of the AI Horde in ways even I had not expected!
CI/CD and pypi
I finally got around to adding CI/CD pipelines for AI Horde Worker and nataili. Now they will be automatically versioned when the right tag is applied to a PR. The Nataili package has also been republished to pypi and will also automatically receive new versions whenever we publish a new release on GitHub.
The notifications also automatically publish a notification on discord, so people can be aware when something new is up.
Alchemists
Using the new post-processing improvements from ResidentChief, I’ve expanded the interrogation worker so that it can now perform post-processing on images, as well as img2text operations. Unfortunately the previous name didn’t fit so well, so now I’ve renamed it to “Alchemist”, to signify it’s capability to convert images to something else.
Likewise, the official names for image worker is now “Dreamer” and text worker is now “Scribe”. Why not 🙂
Final Word
The pace of progress in this space is mind-blowing. I can’t wait to see what we achieve together in the coming days!

9D: “But in truth, a rock and a tree are likewise beyond good and evil, and so also are all those who are wholly suborned unto the laws of cause and chance. For rocks, and trees, and those who are not permitted or else refuse to make choice, are amoral. Not immoral, mark thou well, but amoral. For unto such beings ethics hath no application.” And Malphas said unto him, “Then dost thou deny that Emperor Rimmon possesseth authority to make decrees concerning morality?” But Uriel answered, “It is not merely that he ought not decree morality, but rather that he in truth cannot do so. For such a thing is a profound confusion of kinds, even as though one should speak of a triangle having four sides.” And the prince shrugged, and stood down from further questioning, being content to leave all these matters hanging unresolved before the tribunal. Then Sar Lailah pondered things a short span, and declared unto Rimmon, “The defense resteth.”

Who we are arises from how we have been hurt
From Mari Ruti’s The Call of Character pg 18:
Likewise, there is perhaps nothing that contributes to the uniqueness of our character more than our suffering. In so many ways, who we are arises from how we have been hurt. This does not mean that we cannot find our way past our injuries or that they determine our future. But it does suggest that our sense of authenticity cannot be divorced from the hardships and disappointments we have endured.
From pg 21:
It may, for example, turn out that something that causes us suffering will eventually grow into a nugget of wisdom that guides us to a valuable course adjustment. And a breakdown that leaves us gasping for air can eventually lead to an important breakthrough that reconfigures our lives for the better. This is why Nietzsche believes that we should choose to love our fate—that instead of struggling against the constraints of our situation, we should actively welcome these constraints because they are the foundation of our ability to elaborate our character.
This is exactly what I found so powerful in Hans Loewald’s notion of transforming ghosts into ancestors. There’s a particular mode through which we metabolise suffering, the deep and profound ontological injuries which mean we can’t continue as we were, which makes a particular mode of growth possible. From Thoughts Without a Thinker by Mark Epstein pg 200-201:
The psychoanalyst Hans Loewald wrote of transforming the ghosts that haunt patients into ancestors, through tasting what he called the “blood of recognition” in the relationship with the therapist. He asserted that the ghosts must be led out of the unconscious, reawakened through the intensity of the therapeutic relationship, and then laid to rest, relegated to history, thus allowing the person more flexibility and intensity in present relations.
There are things we can be lost within which these wounds, or rather the process of moving through them, can lead us out of. We don’t become someone who wasn’t hurt in this way but rather become someone who can live well despite being hurt in that way. In Lacanian terms we see a reconfiguration of the relationship to our own enjoyment, as we reclaim it through a movement of traversing a (now shattered) fantasy. But Mari Ruti expresses it so much more beautifully and concretely than any of the Lacanians do.
