Introducing HiDream-I1 Full: State-of-the-Art 17B Image Generation Now on WaveSpeedAI

The landscape of AI image generation has just been transformed. We’re thrilled to announce the availability of HiDream-I1 Full on WaveSpeedAI—a groundbreaking 17-billion parameter open-source model that delivers state-of-the-art image quality in seconds. Whether you’re creating photorealistic portraits, stylized artwork, or complex multi-object scenes, HiDream-I1 Full represents a significant leap forward in what’s possible with text-to-image generation.

What is HiDream-I1 Full?

HiDream-I1 Full is the flagship variant of HiDream.ai’s revolutionary image generation model, first open-sourced in April 2025. Built on an innovative sparse Diffusion Transformer (DiT) architecture, this model combines cutting-edge techniques to deliver exceptional results across a wide range of visual styles.

At its core, HiDream-I1 employs a dual-stream design with dynamic Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) architecture. Two separate encoders independently process image and text tokens before a single-stream structure handles the multi-modal interaction for image generation. This sophisticated approach enables the model to understand and execute complex prompts with remarkable precision.

The model integrates powerful components including text encoders from Google’s T5-v1.1-xxl and Meta’s Llama 3.1-8B-Instruct, providing comprehensive prompt understanding that translates your creative vision into stunning visuals.
