Creators now receive credits continuously as their LoRA is used, with a decreasing reward rate from 5% to 1%. New LoRAs default to non-participation, and the setting cannot be reversed. The system is part of PixAI's 3rd anniversary roadmap, but raises ongoing ethical concerns about training on artists' works without consent.","whyItMatters":"PixAI's new reward system attempts to incentivize LoRA creation while the platform faces unresolved ethical and legal questions about unauthorized use of artists' works for training.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eThe system replaces a cumulative cap that limited total rewards per LoRA to 200,000 credits. Under the new rules, the reward rate starts at 5% and drops to 1% as cumulative rewards increase. Creators who publish a new LoRA must opt in to the reward system, and once opted in, the choice is permanent. The change follows PixAI\u0026#39;s 3rd anniversary roadmap and aims to sustain creator participation. However, the platform has not detailed how it will determine which LoRAs are eligible for rewards, especially those trained on specific illustrators\u0026#39; or manga artists\u0026#39; works without permission. The Agency for Cultural Affairs has stated that generated images resembling only style or technique generally do not infringe copyright, but similarity to specific creative expressions may. The ethical and economic concerns remain unresolved.\u003c/p\u003e","blueskyPost":"PixAI removed the 200,000 credit cap for LoRA creators, now offering continuous rewards with a decreasing rate.
