2️⃣ GPT Image 1 API Access!
We’ve added OpenAI’s GPT-4o image generation model - GPT Image 1 - to the generator! Starting at just 25 Buzz, this cutting-edge tool delivers stunning results and marks a massive leap forward in text-to-image tech. It's closed-source, yes, but the future it points to is too exciting to ignore. How long until open-source catches up? We can’t wait to find out! Start creating now!
3️⃣ Train LoRAs… with Video!
We recently launched Video LoRA training for the popular Wan and Hunyuan models, starting with static images - but now you can train directly on MP4 and WEBM video clips! This opens the door for more dynamic, expressive, and true-to-motion LoRAs!
4️⃣ Auction System Updates!
The Checkpoint Auction system - used to select our weekly 200 Generator models - just got some much-needed quality-of-life upgrades!
You can now browse the Auction History to see which checkpoints have won in the past, and we’ve added filters to help you quickly scan through your own bids or explore current ones. Who knows? The model you were about to nominate might already be in the running!

AI-ction Hunyuan & Wan Contest - Results Soon!
🎬 Lights, Camera, AI-ction! 🎥Our Hunyuan & Wan Video Contest has officially wrapped, and wow - tens of thousands of mind-blowing entries later, we’re deep in the judging trenches!
