Quick Start

First Launch

1. Download the installer for your platform from the Releases page
2. Install and launch AI Model DB
3. Complete the onboarding wizard to select data sources
4. Configure API keys (optional, for AI validation)
5. Sync to populate your database

Data Sources

Enable any of these sources in Settings:

• Hugging Face - 10,000+ open-source models
• Civitai - Image generation models and LoRAs
• OpenModelDB - Upscaler models
• Artificial Analysis - LLM benchmarks and pricing
• And more...

NSFW Filtering Note

⚠️ Important: While AI Model DB includes robust NSFW filtering (metadataregex + optional AI validation), some NSFW models may still slip through if their names and metadata contain no flagged keywords.

If you require a 100% SFW environment (e.g., for workplace use), we strongly recommend disabling the CivitasBay/Civitai data source in Settings, as this source contains the highest volume of unfiltered user-generated content.

macOS Installation

Note: When first opening the app on macOS, you may see an error saying "AI Model DB is damaged and can't be opened". This is because the app is not signed with an Apple Developer certificate.

Fix: Remove Quarantine Attribute

Open Terminal and run:

xattr -cr /Applications/AI\ Model\ DB.app

After running this command, you should be able to open the app normally.

Alternative: Right-Click to Open

1. Right-click (or Control-click) on the app in Finder
2. Select Open from the context menu
3. Click Open in the dialog that appears
