## Choosing the right model

<Steps>
  <Step title="Identify your goal">
    * **Photorealistic photo**: Flux 2 Max, GPT Image 1.5, Imagen 4
    * **Design with text**: Ideogram V3
    * **Fast iteration**: Flux Schnell, Seedream V5 Lite, Nano Banana
    * **Cinematic look**: Runway Gen-4, Kling O1
    * **Video content**: Kling V3 Pro, Veo 3.1, Hailuo 2.3
  </Step>

  <Step title="Consider speed vs. quality">
    Faster models (Flux Schnell, Nano Banana) are great for exploring ideas. Premium models (Flux 2 Max, Imagen 4) produce higher fidelity but take longer.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Use multi-model to compare">
    Select up to 4 models per request to generate the same prompt across different models and compare results side by side.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Model compatibility

Not all models support every aspect ratio or feature. The app automatically:

* Grays out models that don't support your selected aspect ratio
* Shows which modes (T2V, I2V) each video model supports
* Validates settings before generation

<Tip>
  **Model availability updates regularly.** New models are added as they become available from providers. Check the model selector in the app for the latest list.
