Methodology & provenance

How Latent Tags builds its research

Where the tag data, model previews and trends come from — and what each signal can and cannot tell you.

931,802 tags · updated Aug 16, 2026

Tag vocabulary

Canonical names, categories, aliases, implications and wiki groups come from Danbooru. An offline ETL pipeline normalizes them into a read-only snapshot; the site never edits Danbooru or fetches its API during a visit.

Model evidence

Preview images are resolved from artwork already in the Latent corpus. A missing preview means the corpus has no matching example yet — it does not prove that a model cannot understand or draw the tag.

Prompt output

The workbench preserves canonical tag categories, then applies each model's documented artist naming and weight conventions. Runtime syntax such as A1111 or ComfyUI is kept distinct from the model family itself.

Trend counts

Charts show monthly Danbooru post counts, not search volume or model popularity. The current upstream series ends in April 2025, so the interface labels it as a frozen snapshot.
