Case Study: Civitai achieves 10 million AI images per day with SaladCloud

Civitai powers 10 Million AI images per day with Salad’s distributed cloud

Civitai, a leading generative AI community, faced significant infrastructure challenges scaling its image generator to handle millions of users and model combinations amidst a global GPU shortage. Their need for hundreds of cost-effective GPUs to manage demand fluctuations without an exorbitant cloud bill led them to partner with Salad and utilize its distributed cloud platform, SaladCloud.

By implementing SaladCloud, Civitai gained access to a massive, scalable network of consumer-grade GPUs. Salad's solution provided automated management via a custom container and API integration, allowing Civitai to dynamically scale its infrastructure. This partnership enabled Civitai to serve inference on over 600 GPUs, delivering 10 million images per day and training more than 15,000 LoRAs per month at a significantly lower cost.
