lora
array of objects min items: 1 -
With LoRA (Low-Rank Adaptation), you can adapt a model to specific styles or features by emphasizing particular aspects of the data. This technique enhances the quality and relevance of generated content and can be especially useful when the output needs to adhere to a specific artistic style or follow particular guidelines.
Multiple LoRA models can be used simultaneously to achieve different adaptation goals.

controlNet
array of objects min items: 1 -
With ControlNet, you can provide a guide image to help the model generate images that align with the desired structure. This guide image can be generated with our ControlNet preprocessing tool, extracting guidance information from an input image. The guide image can be in the form of an edge map, a pose, a depth estimation or any other type of control image that guides the generation process via the ControlNet model.
Multiple ControlNet models can be used at the same time to provide different types of guidance information to the model.
