Introducing Nucleus Image on WaveSpeedAI

High-Quality Text-to-Image at $0.01 Each

Text-to-image generation has matured to the point where the question isn’t “can I get a usable image?” — it’s “can I get one fast and cheap enough to use at production volume?” Nucleus Image answers that. We’re excited to announce that Nucleus Image is now live on WaveSpeedAI — a fast, flexible text-to-image model tuned for high quality at batch-volume prices.

What Is Nucleus Image?

Nucleus Image is a text-to-image generation model with full creative control:

Flexible aspect ratios — portrait, landscape, square, cinematic.
Adjustable inference steps — trade speed for quality.
Classifier-free guidance (CFG) control — dial prompt adherence.
Negative prompts — exclude what you don’t want.
Reproducible seeds — lock outputs for iteration.
Multiple output formats — PNG, JPEG, WebP, etc.

The price point — $0.01 per image — makes it especially strong for bulk ideation, variant generation, and production pipelines.

Key Features

Flexible Aspect Ratios Generate for any target platform — vertical social, horizontal web hero, square thumbnails, ultrawide — from a single model.

Inference Step Control Lower step counts for fast ideation; higher for final delivery. Tune to your use case.

CFG and Negative Prompts Fine-grained control over prompt adherence and exclusions — the same knobs serious image practitioners expect.

Reproducible Seeds Lock a seed to iterate on prompt variations against the same underlying composition. Essential for controlled iteration.

Multiple Output Formats Choose the format that matches your pipeline — no post-conversion step needed.

Real-World Use Cases

Ad Creative at Scale

Generate hundreds of variants of a single ad concept in minutes. A/B test, pick the winner, move on.

Product Page Hero Imagery

Spin up custom hero shots for e-commerce, seasonal landing pages, or campaign microsites.

Editorial and Blog Illustration

Custom header art for every article — at $0.01 each, it’s cheaper than a stock license.

Bulk Content Generation

Social posts, newsletter illustrations, internal documentation visuals — produced at the rate of your content calendar.

Design Ideation and Mood Boards

Prompt through 50 variations in a sitting to find the direction; handoff to final production at higher step counts.

UI Mockup Imagery

Placeholder and context imagery for interface design, game UI, and marketing mockups.

Getting Started on WaveSpeedAI

Write your prompt — subject, style, composition, mood.
Pick aspect ratio and resolution — match your delivery target.
Set inference steps, CFG, optional negative prompt and seed — tune for quality/speed.
Submit — production REST API, no cold starts.

Full schema on the model page.

Pricing

Just $0.01 per image (with num_images support — pay per generated image, exactly). For 1000 images, that’s $10. For ideation scale, it’s basically free.

Why Run Nucleus Image on WaveSpeedAI

One API, 890+ models. Compose Nucleus Image with upscalers, style transfer, and video models through one endpoint.
No cold starts. Consistent latency even under heavy parallelism.
Per-image pricing. No minimums, no subscriptions.
Production-scale throughput. Fan out thousands of generations in parallel.

Pro Tips

Ideate low, deliver high. Use 20 steps for exploration; bump to 50+ for final delivery.
Seed-lock for variants. Fix the seed, vary the prompt — get controlled A/B variants on the same composition.
Write negative prompts sparingly. Long negative lists can over-constrain; 2–4 focused negatives work best.
Match aspect ratio to platform. Portrait for stories/Reels, square for feeds, 16:9 for YouTube thumbnails.
Batch at night. Throughput is the same, but your user-facing load is lower — great for pipeline jobs.
