No watermarks. No usage limits. No API cost. Runs fully on your machine.

Privacy // Why local matters for images

Your prompts never leave your machine.

No cloud

Generation runs locally using your GPU or CPU. No request leaves the machine.

No account

Nothing to sign up for. No API key. No subscription tier. Works from first launch.

No limits

Generate as many images as you want. No daily cap, no rate limit, no overage charge.

No watermarks

Every image is clean output. Yours to use, publish, or iterate on however you need.

Integration // Lives inside your workflow

Ask for an image in the middle of anything.

Image generation isn't a separate mode. It's available anywhere you can type — mid-conversation, mid-research, mid-Hive run. Ask for a thumbnail while writing your video script. Generate a logo concept while building your Studio landing page. The output lands where you are.

Tips // Getting the most out of it

Field notes from real use.

Style language

The more specific the style, the sharper the result. "watercolour", "flat vector", "photorealistic studio shot", "cinematic still" all pull different engines inside the model.

Lighting matters

Add a lighting note: "soft morning light", "dramatic rim lighting", "overcast flat light". It's the fastest single-word upgrade to image quality.

Combine with Studio

Generate hero images, icons, and backgrounds inside a Studio session. The images land in the project folder and Studio can reference them directly in the code.

Use Chat for iteration

"Make it darker", "add more contrast", "shift the colour to teal" — Chat holds the full generation context so each iteration builds on the last rather than starting from scratch.
