Game assets & creative images
Originally built for game asset production, Leonardo has grown into a full creative stack — fine-tuned models for different visual styles, a real-time generation canvas, and motion generation for animation. The right tool for game studios, character artists, and digital illustrators who need volume, consistency, and the ability to train on their own visual style.

GPT-4's image generation module makes prompt iteration genuinely conversational — describe what you want, describe what you'd change, and the model follows complex multi-part instructions better than most alternatives. Accessible directly inside ChatGPT with no extra subscription required, making it the lowest-friction entry point for anyone already using OpenAI products.
FLUX.1 from Black Forest Labs is the model quietly powering half the AI image pipelines you've encountered online — open weights, fast inference, and photorealism that rivals anything behind a paywall. The default choice for developers building image generation into products, and increasingly the standard API model for teams that want quality without lock-in.
Still the benchmark for painterly, atmospheric, and artistically ambitious image generation. V6 produces stunning results for concept art, illustration, fashion, and editorial — with an aesthetic distinct enough to have genuinely influenced visual culture broadly. Community-first with a Discord-native workflow, though web access and an API are now available.
