Parameter Reference

Required Supported Not available

Core Parameters

Parameter Type Description Modes
prompt string Required. Text prompt for image generation
T2I Edit
negative_prompt string Negative prompt to guide generation away from undesired content
T2I Edit
seed integer Random seed for reproducibility
T2I Edit

Size & Layout

Parameter Type Description Modes
size string Image dimensions as WxH pixels (e.g. "1024x1024") or aspect ratio (e.g. "16:9")
WxH determines both shape and scale (aspect_ratio and resolution are ignored when size is provided). W:H format is equivalent to aspect_ratio.
T2I Edit
aspect_ratio string Aspect ratio of the output image (e.g. "16:9", "1:1")
Controls shape independently of scale. Use with resolution to control both. If size is also provided, size takes precedence. Any ratio is accepted and mapped to the nearest supported value.
T2I Edit
resolution string Output resolution tier (e.g. "1K", "4K")
Controls scale independently of shape. Higher tiers produce larger images and cost more. If size is also provided, size takes precedence for scale. Any tier is accepted and mapped to the nearest supported value.
T2I Edit
size

Exact pixel dimensions

"1920x1080"
aspect_ratio

Shape only, default scale

"16:9"
resolution

Scale tier, preserves shape

"1K"

Priority when combined

size aspect_ratio + resolution aspect_ratio resolution

size is most specific and always wins. aspect_ratio and resolution control shape and scale independently.

How matching works

Shape matching – we pick the closest supported ratio. Ask for 7:1 on a model with 4:1 and 8:1, you get 8:1.
Scale matching – providers use different tier formats: K tiers (0.5K 1K 2K 4K) or megapixel tiers (0.25 1). If the exact tier isn't available, you get the nearest one.
Dimension clamping – if a model has pixel limits, we clamp dimensions to fit and keep the aspect ratio intact.

Media Inputs

Parameter Type Description Modes
image file Required. Input image(s) to edit
Supports PNG, JPEG, WebP.
T2I Edit

Output & Format

Parameter Type Description Modes
response_format string How to return the image
url b64_json
Default: "url"
T2I Edit
output_format string Output image format
png jpeg gif webp avif
Gateway converts to requested format if provider doesn't support it natively.
T2I Edit
output_compression integer Compression level for lossy formats (JPEG, WebP, AVIF)
T2I Edit
n integer Number of images to generate
Default: 1
Gateway generates multiple images in parallel even if provider only supports 1.
T2I Edit

Additional Parameters

Parameter Type Description Modes
cfg_scale number Classifier-free guidance scale — higher values stick more closely to the prompt
T2I Edit
strength number How much to transform the input image: 0 keeps it unchanged, 1 fully regenerates from the prompt
T2I Edit
enable_safety_checker fal boolean If set to true, the safety checker will be enabled.
T2I Edit
loras fal array A list of LoRAs to apply to the model. Each LoRA specifies its path, scale, and optional weight name.
T2I Edit
num_inference_steps fal integer The number of inference steps to perform.
T2I Edit
sync_mode fal boolean If `True`, the media will be returned as a data URI and the output data won't be available in the request history.
T2I Edit

Parameter Normalization

How we handle parameters across different providers

Not every provider speaks the same language. When you send a parameter, we handle it in one of four ways depending on what the model supports:

Behavior What happens Example
passthrough Sent as-is to the provider style, quality
renamed Same value, mapped to the field name the provider expects prompt
converted Transformed to the provider's native format size
emulated Works even if the provider has no concept of it n, response_format

Parameters we don't recognize pass straight through to the upstream API, so provider-specific options still work.

Overview

HiDream I1 Full is a high-capacity text-to-image and image-to-image model developed by HiDream AI. Utilizing a 17-billion parameter architecture, it is designed to bridge the gap between complex natural language prompts and high-fidelity visual outputs. The model is distinctive for its use of a Sparse Diffusion Transformer (DiT) combined with a Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) framework, allowing it to handle massive parameter counts with localized computational efficiency.

Strengths

  • Prompt Adherence: The model demonstrates high fidelity to long, descriptive, and nuanced text prompts, accurately placing specific objects and attributes within a scene as requested.
  • Compositional Detail: Due to the large parameter count, it excels at rendering complex textures and lighting conditions that smaller diffusion models often struggle to resolve.
  • MoE Efficiency: The Mixture-of-Experts architecture allows the model to activate only a subset of its 17B parameters per request, leading to sophisticated image generation qualities without the prohibitive latency typical of monolithic models of this scale.
  • Multimodal Input: It native supports image-to-image workflows, allowing users to provide visual references to guide the style, structure, or content of the final output.

Limitations

  • Computational Cost: At $0.05 per generation, the model is targeted towards high-end production use cases and may be less economical for high-volume, low-stakes applications compared to smaller distilled models.
  • Specialized Hardware Requirements: Due to the 17B parameter size, local deployment is challenging, making it primarily a cloud-driven model for most enterprise environments.
  • Training Cutoff: Like all diffusion models, it may lack specific knowledge of very recent events, niche brand logos, or specialized technical schematics unless explicitly provided in the prompt or through fine-tuning.

Technical Background

HiDream I1 Full is built on a Diffusion Transformer (DiT) backbone, a departure from the traditional U-Net architectures used in earlier generative models. It integrates a Sparse Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) layer, which scales the model’s capacity to 17 billion parameters while maintaining manageable inference speeds. This training approach emphasizes high-dimensional latent space representations to ensure that fine-grained textual details are mapped accurately to pixels.

Best For

  • Professional Concept Art: Generating high-resolution environment and character designs where specific lighting and material properties are critical.
  • Precision Marketing Assets: Creating brand-aligned imagery that requires strict adherence to complex creative briefs.
  • Visual Prototyping: Rapidly iterating on product designs using image-to-image guidance to maintain structural consistency.

HiDream I1 Full is available for immediate testing and deployment through Lumenfall’s unified API and interactive playground.
