The app is designed around single-file local models that can be loaded directly by the bundled backend engines.

Image generation

| Model type | Supported | Put files in | Notes | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Stable Diffusion 1.5 checkpoints | Yes | app/models/ | Best compatibility. Use .safetensors or .ckpt files. | | SDXL checkpoints | Yes | app/models/ | Supported as single-file checkpoints. Requires more RAM/VRAM than SD 1.5. | | Single-file SD/SDXL GGUF checkpoints | Limited | app/models/ | Only complete single-file checkpoints are supported. | | OpenVINO image model folders | Intel NPU only | app/openvino-models/ | Download from the Model Manager after running the OpenVINO setup. | | CoreML image models | Apple Silicon only | app/models/ | Requires macOS on Apple Silicon and the CoreML setup path. | | Flux, HiDream, Hunyuan, Wan, Qwen Image, Z-Image workflows | No | N/A | These usually require separate diffusion, VAE, and text encoder files and are not one-click checkpoint loads in this app. | | LoRA, ControlNet, VAE-only, text-encoder-only, or diffusion-only files | No | N/A | Companion files are not loaded as standalone image models. |

Known-good image models available from the Model Manager:

| Name | Filename | Type | Approx. size | Recommended use | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Juggernaut XL v9 Lightning | Juggernaut_RunDiffusionPhoto2_Lightning_4Steps.safetensors | SDXL | 7.1 GB | High-quality photorealism on mid/high tier machines. | | DreamShaper XL Lightning | DreamShaperXL_Lightning.safetensors | SDXL | 6.9 GB | General SDXL images, fantasy, renders, and illustration. | | DreamShaper 8 | DreamShaper_8_pruned.safetensors | SD 1.5 | 2.1 GB | Faster, lower-memory image generation. | | CyberRealistic V8 | CyberRealistic_V8_FP16.safetensors | SD 1.5 | 2.0 GB | Realistic SD 1.5 images and lower-memory systems. | | Rev Animated | rev-animated-v1-2-2.safetensors | SD 1.5 | 2.0 GB | Stylized/anime SD 1.5 images. | | LCM DreamShaper OpenVINO | OpenVINO/LCM_Dreamshaper_v7-fp16-ov | OpenVINO | 2.7 GB | Intel Core Ultra NPU test model. |

Text, speech, and TTS

| Workspace | Supported model files | Put files in | Notes | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Text Chat | .gguf llama.cpp models | app/llm-models/ | Use single-file GGUF chat/instruct models. Vision models may also require a matching mmproj file. | | Speech-to-Text | whisper.cpp .bin models | app/speech-models/ | Use Whisper GGML/whisper.cpp model files. | | Text-to-Speech | Kokoro .json manifests and model assets | app/tts-models/ / app/tts-runtime/ | Use the built-in Kokoro setup and Model Manager entries. |

[!NOTE] Linux release binaries are built for Ubuntu 24.04-era systems and require glibc 2.38+ plus GLIBCXX_3.4.32+. On older Ubuntu/Debian VMs, a model such as CyberRealistic may be valid but the backend can still fail before loading it. Upgrade the VM OS or build the backend from source.
