- The starting point for the model's randomness. The same seed and settings give the same result.
- guidance_scale numberdefault 4.51–20
- How closely the result follows the prompt. Lower gives the model more freedom.
- inference_steps integerdefault 281–50
- How many refinement passes the model makes. More add detail and take longer.
- transparency booleandefault false
- Output the subject alone, with no backdrop behind it.
- guidance_file_init_image file[]
