<aside> 💡 Remember to download all the models from Civitai that you like since a lot of users have been purging their accounts and leaving the site recently, so there's no guarantee your links that you placed in your colab will continue to work. To run those new models on google colab, you can reupload it onto your own private repo on huggingface.

Creating Your Own Repo

<aside> 📢 This is helpful if you have some models but you want to make sure that it will be up permanently for your Colab. I personally use it to store my models in case I have to clear my PC

</aside>

Make a huggingface account:

Create a new model by clicking your profile and the button shown below

Name it however you like and make sure that you make it public so you can download it to your colab (you can use your huggingface token to download it from your private repo, but this is honestly easier)

You should be able to see a page like this, to add model select upload files

Drag and drop your model files to the space below. When done scroll down and commit changes

It should start uploading as shown

When finished it should redirect you back to the main page
