Model menu

Slicy routes generations across multiple AI providers. The model node always shows the per-run cost in credits before you click Run.

All costs are computed live from the provider's per-call price plus Slicy's 20 % markup, rounded to 2 decimals. Reference prices below are illustrative for typical 1024 × 1024 outputs — the cost band on the node is the authoritative number.

Free / local nodes

These run on Slicy's own infrastructure (or your browser), not through a paid provider. No credits charged.

• BiRefNet — background removal (cutout).
• Alpha refine — edge cleanup on cutouts.
• Design text overlay — copy placement on images via golden-ratio + saliency analysis (runs locally with Sharp).

How to pick

Behind the scenes

Slicy's multi-vendor router falls back across providers when one is down or rate-limited. The vendor your run actually hit is shown in the run metadata (right-click the output node → Copy run metadata).
