Why do my images turn out distorted and noisy or abstract/broken ?

You're probably using too many weights in your prompt/negative prompt, e.g. (words or sentences within parenthesis) or (weighted like this:1.1); they make the AI pay more attention to those parts of your prompt, however, using too many of them can confuse the AI and it will most likely result in a strange, abstract or broken image (similar to too high CFG scale).

Additionally, use clip skip 2 on pony models! See also "What is score_9 and how to use it in Pony Diffusion" for more Pony-specific details.

Note: Prompt weights don't work the same way as the do in AUTOMATIC1111, hence why the results are different

I'm running a Worker but I'm only getting half of the kudos, why is that?

You will get the rest of them when you become trusted. you can become trusted by running the worker for a few days (e.g. by doing a specific number of jobs, the exact number is not known but you should get it after around 1 week of runtime).

How do I claim kudos that someone gifted me on the Discord server?

Type /login in any channel and click "Save Token", then enter your API key.

Don't worry about the warning saying not to enter passwords; it's perfectly safe as long as you're on the official AI Horde server (which can be found in the Getting Started page).

If there is no "Save Token" button, it's most likely because you're using an old version of Discord; update it.

"The GPU worker was unable to complete this request. Try again? (Error code: X)"

This typically means that your request has been flagged for being possible CSAM. You can retry the request and/or change the prompt. Also, low step sizes, a vague prompt, low guidance/CFG, or high CLIP skip can cause this to trigger. Alternatively, this can mean that you have NSFW generations disabled in your frontend. Either enable them or change your prompt to be SFW.

When I'm rating images, Why do I get images that tell me to rate the image an specific number ? Is someone hijacking the ratings ?

No, what you're seeing is the CAPTCHA AI Horde uses to protect from botting and abuse, just rate it as the image says.

Can X model be added to AI Horde ? Where can I request it ?

AI Horde moderators decide which models get added to the AI Horde.

To request a model, you have two options, either join the discord (if you haven't already) and send the link of the model in the Request Model thread or open a pull request and add it yourself to AI Image Model Reference.

I want to use the Colab notebook to run a worker but I can't access it, what gives ?

That notebook is not available anymore, instead there is a newer Colab notebook for the worker available here (Note - Google has banned colab notebook so it doesn't work anymore)

Instead, Kaggle provides very similar functionality in terms of hosting Workers for free. The Kaggle Notebook Worker thread provides more details. As of 5/27/24, the current Kaggle worker notebook can be downloaded here. Add your API Key, set a worker name, select models, select "GPU T4 x2" from the accelerators, and press run all.

NOTE: Kaggle has several limits. Firstly, it has a limit on how long your worker can run. Notebooks can only run for 12 hours at a time. Additionally, after about an hour of inactivity, the notebook might be stopped. This is inconsistent, and people have reported it happening from anywhere between 30 minutes and several hours. Finally, Kaggle has a limit on how many hours an accelerator (GPU or TPU) can be used. This limit is currently 30 hours per week.

I lost my API Key, what do I do?

If you used oauth to signup, you can use oauth again and it'll change your API key but you will get to keep the kudos. however, if you did not use oauth and are logged in in the discord bot then you can use /login command to recover the key; use /login then click "Save Token" but and it'll show your API key prepopulated in the input field. There is no other way to retrieve the API key. Make sure to save it securely.

I want Kudos!

Kudos can be earned in several ways. The best and fastest way is to set up a worker. However, not everyone has a GPU. Kaggle, as mentioned above, can also be used to host workers for free. Services like Runpod, Vast, and Paperspace can be options for running the Docker image, although these are paid services.

You can also earn Kudos by sharing your art in the Discord. People are very generous with their Kudos, and can give you lots of Kudos for a good image.

Parties are another way to earn Kudos. In a party, the host pays for all generations and even gives you Kudos for participating.

Additionally, many people will give you Kudos if you simply ask. Some have millions or even billions of kudos and oftentimes, they'll give them away.

Finally, you can rate images. Some frontends have this feature, some don't. Artbot, for example, does.
