FlashBoards sends your shots to image, video and audio models. You pick one in the **AI Models** window, then set its inputs and run it. For the full flow, see [Generate](https://flashboards.yaroflasher.com/docs/generation/generate.md).

## Open AI Models

Click **Models** in the bottom toolbar. It shows **None** until you pick one. The window has three tabs.

* **Latest**: recently added models and workflows, grouped by date. Click one to select it.
* **Models**: single models. Fast, with a fixed price per run for most.
* **Workflows**: multi-step recipes. More control and often cheaper, but they can take longer and the price depends on the run.

Click a card to make it the active model, then close the window. Variants such as **Fast** or **Omni** are separate cards with their own behavior and price.

## Search and filter

[Video: Type in Search models... to narrow the cards, then click one to select it](https://media.yaroflasher.com/docs/media/models-search-filter.h264.12cfe09a.mp4)

* Type in **Search models...** (or **Search workflows...**) to match names and descriptions.
* Use the type filters for text, image, video and audio.
* In the left panel, pick a **Base Models** entry or a category. **Hide filters panel** gives the cards more room. On phones, the panel starts closed; use **Show filters panel** to open it.
* Click the star (**Mark as favorite**) on a card, then **Favorites** to show only those.
* Click the eye (**Hide model**) to hide a card. **Show hidden models** brings them back; **Show only archived models** (with the count) switches the list to retired models only, which you can still run. Turn it off to see the rest again.
* When discounts are running, the **%** button (**Show discounted models**) filters to them.
* **Ratings** in the left panel compares models by **Arena** score and **Flash Vibes**. Click a row to select that model.

## Read a model card

A card shows the model name, a badge such as **Official**, **Cheap**, **Stable**, **Fast**, **Legacy** or **Archived**, what it does (for example Image to Video), the estimated time, a success rate and the price. Hover the price for a breakdown.

The success rate tells you how reliably the model has run lately, not how good it looks. Cards marked **Under Review** are greyed out and can't be selected.

Prices and discounts change, so trust the card and the **Generate** button over old screenshots. See [Billing](https://flashboards.yaroflasher.com/docs/generation/billing.md).

Click the **i** on a card for [Model Details](https://flashboards.yaroflasher.com/docs/generation/model-details.md), or the external-link icon for the model's page on the Explore site.

## Workflows

Click **View workflow details** (the **i**) on a workflow card to see its versions, the **Workflow Inputs** it needs and a **GPU Tier** choice. **Plus** runs on a faster machine than **Default** and costs more. The **Form** tab lets you set up and preview a run. Some workflow cards carry an **NSFW** tag.

Some workflows use a fixed prompt: the prompt box shows **Prompt locked for this workflow** or **No prompt required**, and you only fill the labelled slots such as **Target Image** and **Source Face**.

## Audio models

Audio models are in the catalog too: music, speech, sound effects, voice changing and voice cloning, stem separation, voice isolation and audio description. Use the **Audio** type filter or search to find them. They take an audio item or text as input, and the result lands on the board as an audio item. Audio descriptions and new voice IDs land as text notes. Voice-cloning models need **Voice consent** ticked, and the person whose voice it is must agree.

Audio settings use plain labels such as **Duration (seconds)** and **Instrumental only**. ElevenLabs music and sound effects are priced by the second of audio you ask for, so a short clip costs less than a long one.

## Return to a model you used

Right-click empty board space and hover **Favorites** or **Recent** to switch model without opening the window. Star models in **Favorites** (the star in the bottom toolbar) to keep them at hand. To restore a whole earlier setup, see [Reusable generations](https://flashboards.yaroflasher.com/docs/generation/generate.md#reusable-generations).

> **Note.** Changing model clears the board's input roles. See [Inputs and references](https://flashboards.yaroflasher.com/docs/generation/inputs.md).

## Choose a model

| You have                            | You want            | Look for                |
| ----------------------------------- | ------------------- | ----------------------- |
| Text only                           | An image            | A text-to-image model   |
| One image                           | A video             | An image-to-video model |
| Several images, video or audio      | One consistent shot | A multi-reference model |
| A character image and a voice track | A talking character | A talking-avatar model  |
| A finished clip                     | Higher resolution   | A video upscaler        |
| A finished clip                     | Smoother motion     | Frame interpolation     |

For quick tests, pick cards marked **Cheap** or with a low estimate. For final quality, compare the cards in the category.

To browse by job, use **Categories** in the left panel of **AI Models**. Examples are **Cinematic Video Generation**, **Concept Art & Style Exploration**, **Character, Fashion & Face Tools** and **Upscale & Restoration**, which holds upscalers such as **Topaz Starlight**. Each category shows how many models it has, and only categories with models are listed. **All Models** (or **All Workflows**) shows everything again.

## Match inputs to slots

Each model lists the slots it needs. Images fill image, reference and frame slots, videos fill video slots, audio fills audio slots, and text notes fill text slots. See [Inputs and references](https://flashboards.yaroflasher.com/docs/generation/inputs.md). Models have stricter file limits than the board; see [Supported formats](https://flashboards.yaroflasher.com/docs/reference/supported-formats.md).
