AI models are the creative engines behind generative art, transforming your ideas into stunning visuals. On Fiddl.art, each model offers unique strengths—from photorealistic detail to imaginative abstraction. This guide explores all seven available models and helps you match them to your creative goals.
What is an AI Model?
An AI model is an algorithm trained on vast datasets to generate images from text prompts. Each model specializes in different areas: some excel in realism, others in stylization or speed. Selecting the right one shapes your output's look, feel, and detail. For a deeper technical overview, Daniel Dominguez offers a helpful introduction to image generative AI models.
The Seven AI Models on Fiddl.art
Fiddl.art provides a diverse set of models to suit various creative needs. Whether you're crafting hyper-realistic scenes or dreamlike abstractions, there's a tool for you.
Ultra: High Detail, Realistic Images
Ultra delivers exceptional photorealism, capturing fine textures, lighting, and depth. It's ideal for detailed character designs, product renders, or immersive environments. Use Ultra when accuracy and lifelike quality matter most.
SD3-LG: Artistic, Stylized Images
SD3-LG specializes in vibrant, illustrated visuals. It's perfect for concept art, sketches, and painterly styles where creativity outweighs realism. Try it for storyboards, album art, or any project needing an artistic touch.
Core: Balanced Creativity and Realism
Core strikes a versatile balance between realism and creativity. It's fast, reliable, and great for brainstorming, mood boards, or general-purpose creation. When you're unsure which model to pick, Core is a solid starting point.
DALL-E-3: Surreal and Imaginative Art
DALL-E-3 excels at surreal, dreamlike, and abstract imagery. It interprets imaginative prompts with creative freedom, making it ideal for fantastical scenes, conceptual art, or anything beyond real-world logic.
Flux-Pro-Ultra: Top-Tier Photorealism and Detail
Flux-Pro-Ultra offers professional-grade realism with hyper-detailed output. Use it for high-end visual projects like marketing materials, architectural visualizations, or product photography where precision is critical.
Flux-Pro: Advanced, Detailed Visuals
Flux-Pro provides detailed, realistic art with a creative twist. It's less intensive than Flux-Pro-Ultra but still delivers strong accuracy for illustrations, promotional graphics, or complex scenes.
Flux-Dev: Sharp Realism, Quick Results
Flux-Dev combines sharp realism with speed. It's perfect for quick turnarounds like product mockups, ad visuals, or any scenario where you need quality results fast.
How to Pick the Best AI Model
Your choice depends on your creative goals, timeline, and desired style. Consider these three questions to narrow down your options.
Do I need realism or creativity?
Choose Ultra, Flux-Pro-Ultra, or Flux-Dev for lifelike results. Opt for SD3-LG or DALL-E-3 for stylized or surreal art.
Am I in a rush or going for max quality?
Flux-Dev and Core offer speed without major quality loss. Flux-Pro-Ultra provides the highest polish for professional work.
What kind of art am I making?
Use Ultra for realistic characters, SD3-LG for illustrations, DALL-E-3 for surreal concepts, and Core for experimentation.
