FAQ
FLUX.1 [dev] is currently the top-rated model for photorealism. It excels at skin texture, lighting, and realistic human anatomy compared to SDXL or MJ v6.
Yes. Most open-weights models hosted on WaveSpeed (like FLUX.1 [schnell] and SDXL) allow for commercial use. We also provide commercial licensing options for proprietary models.
Not necessarily. While we offer deep control for developers via API, our web interface "Playground" allows anyone to select a model and type a prompt to get started instantly.
Yes. You can upload your own fine-tuned checkpoints (.safetensors) or LoRAs to WaveSpeed and run them on our high-speed infrastructure as if they were native models.
WaveSpeed offers a free tier with limited credits so you can test every model before committing. Paid plans unlock higher rate limits, priority GPU access, and batch processing via API. Visit wavespeed.ai/pricing for current plans.
