-H "Authorization: Bearer $LAYER_TOKEN"- prompt string
- Describe what to generate, or the change to make.
- negative_prompt string
- What to keep out of the result.
- aspect_ratio enumdefault SQUARE_1K10 options
- The shape and size of the output.
- quality enumdefault HIGHLOW, MEDIUM, HIGH
- Higher levels render more detail, and can take longer and cost more.
- seed integer
- The starting point for the model's randomness. The same seed and settings give the same result.
- guidance_scale numberdefault 50–20
- How closely the result follows the prompt. Lower gives the model more freedom.
- inference_steps integerdefault 44–8
- 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.
- output_fit any
- Trim the transparent margin, and place the image on a canvas of a fixed size.
- prompt_language string
- The language the prompt is written in, so it reaches the model as you meant it.

FAQ
How much does FLUX.2 [klein] 9B cost? Is it free?+
How does Layer's pricing work?+
There are no seat fees, feature gates, or plans on Layer. Instead, our platform uses a consumption based system with Creative Units (CUs) with a flexible monthly subscription. Every generation on Layer (image, video, 3D, or audio) consumes a Creative Unit, and you only pay for what you create.
