## Overview

Request large, shared models to be added to Floyo's community workspace for all users to access.

***

## What are Community Models?

Community Models include large, shared models such as **Checkpoints**, **VAE**, and other base or specialized models. These are centrally managed by the Floyo team to ensure reliability, performance, and compatibility across the platform.

| Model Type      | Examples                                 |
| --------------- | ---------------------------------------- |
| **Checkpoints** | Stable Diffusion XL, Juggernaut XL       |
| **VAE**         | Various VAE models for encoding/decoding |
| **Other**       | Specialized base models                  |

2. They validate and optimize the model for the platform
3. The model becomes available in the **Community Models** section for all users
4. Team will respond to you via email

## Tips & Best Practices

- **Provide complete URLs:** Link directly to the model download page
- **Specify the model type:** Helps with categorization
- **Explain your use case:** Priority may be given to commonly-needed models
- **Check existing models first:** The model may already be available in Community Models

## Troubleshooting

### My requested model wasn't added?

**Solution:** Check your email for a response from the team. Some models may not be compatible or may have licensing restrictions.

### How do I know when it's available?

**Solution:** The team will respond via email when your model has been added. You can also check the Community Models folder in the File Browser.

### Can I upload large models myself?

**Solution:** Large base models (checkpoints, VAE, etc.) must be requested through this process. For LoRA models, see [Upload LoRA Models](https://docs.floyo.ai/upload-lora-models).
