Family & other versions
The current default is V8.2, released July 24, 2026. It introduces a separate Edit Model replacing Omni Reference, Character Reference and Retexture; this does not make the base image generator an editing model. V8.1 launched April 14, 2026 and was default June 10–July 23. V8.1 supports native 2K HD using --hd; using editing/outpainting tools downscales HD results to SD.
