Input modalities
Text, ImageSource for Input modalities (opens in a new tab)
Output modalities
ImageSource for Output modalities (opens in a new tab)
Prompt length limit
1–9999 charactersSource for Prompt length limit (opens in a new tab)

Native v2 request limit; characters are not language tokens.

Maximum prompt characters
9,999Source for Maximum prompt characters (opens in a new tab)

Native v2 text prompt limit. Reference images are separate inputs.

Published price
Configuration-based USD pricing; use the Leonardo API calculator for an exact quote.Source for Published price (opens in a new tab)
Random seed
0–2147483647Source for Random seed (opens in a new tab)
Prompt expansion
AUTO, ON or OFF; AUTO by default.Source for Prompt expansion (opens in a new tab)
Images per request
8Source for Images per request (opens in a new tab)

Default 4; multiple images in one generation are not a discounted Batch API.

Supported image sizes
Width 16–2496px; height 16–2496px; multiples of 8. Default 1024×1024.Source for Supported image sizes (opens in a new tab)

Request dimensions, not an unconditional final pixel ceiling after quality processing.

Generation modes
FAST, ULTRASource for Generation modes (opens in a new tab)

Default FAST. Quality modes are options on the same model, not separate model records.

Reference guidance
Content and style guidance: up to 1 image each.Source for Reference guidance (opens in a new tab)

UPLOADED or GENERATED image IDs; each guidance type has its own strength options.

Model aliases
05ce0082-2d80-4a2d-8653-4d1c85e2418eSource for Model aliases (opens in a new tab)

Legacy API UUID. The v2 model selector is recorded on the native endpoint; these are not extra models.

Access & pricing

Prices belong to an endpoint and billing tier. A provider listing does not guarantee access for every account or region.

Access
Bearer API key and funded API account. Documentation reviewed; no inference request sent.
Regions

API endpoint URL
POST https://cloud.leonardo.ai/api/rest/v2/generationsSource for API endpoint URL (opens in a new tab)
Processing workflow
Asynchronous generation submission returns generationId for result retrieval. Not token streaming.Source for Processing workflow (opens in a new tab)
Billing basis
PAYG account balance in US dollars; configuration-specific generation charges.Source for Billing basis (opens in a new tab)
Pricing coverage
Use the authenticated API pricing calculator for the exact configuration. Responses report cost amount and unit; apiCreditCost remains during migration.Source for Pricing coverage (opens in a new tab)

The captured generic OpenAPI response only lists generationId and apiCreditCost; the newer FAQ describes the cost object.

Endpoint pricing has not been collected. Check the provider for applicable rates.

Data & enterprise terms

public controls community-feed visibility. Setting false is not evidence of zero retention or a no-training policy.

Caching

Caching can reuse earlier input processing. Availability, lifetime and billing depend on the endpoint. A cache hit still generates a new response.

01 / INITIAL INPUTProcess & retain

The system processes eligible input and retains reusable state.

02 / LATER REQUESTCheck available state

Reuse depends on matching input, session state and the cache policy.

03 / CACHE HITReuse & generate

Reusing state can reduce repeated work. Any charges follow the billing rules below.

What the measurements say

No benchmark observations have been added for this model. We do not turn a vendor description into a performance score.

Latency and throughput depend on the host, request size, reasoning settings and load. There is no measured speed or global usage figure in this record.

The record behind the model

Why it is included

The native model schema explicitly identifies the Phoenix and Lucid generation modes as proprietary. Access is through hosted generation APIs; no checkpoint download or open-weight license is established by the reviewed sources.
