HiDream O1AI image generator
Open model with reference-image edits. Pay only for the takes you keep — kill the rest for a full refund.
HiDream O1 is an open image model from HiDream for text-to-image generation and reference-image editing. You write the shot, or attach a picture and describe the change. It is built for prompt-led stills and controlled edits of a frame you already have.
Use it when you need stills and edits on one open model: product and campaign work, reference-locked characters, or a brief you want to iterate without paying for every miss. The same credit balance covers the web studio and Elyum's MCP server and REST API from Claude, ChatGPT, or Cursor.

Why HiDream O1 is good
Attach a source image and describe the change. Elyum lists HiDream O1 as the open HiDream model for reference-led edits, not only a blank-canvas prompt.
Generate stills from a written brief in the same session. One model covers a new frame or a revision of a picture you already have.
HiDream O1 is an open image model, so this workflow is not locked to a closed generator. On Elyum it shares one credit balance with 50+ other video, image, and audio models.
Choose from five aspect ratios in the image studio so the frame matches the destination before you keep a take.
Judge the preview first. Credits move only when you keep a render. Kill the rest and the charge is refunded in full.
Kept takes download at full quality with no watermark. Commercial use is included on every file you keep.

What people make with it
- Product stills from a catalog photo, with a new background or lighting note on the reference.
- Brand or character frames that stay consistent because you attach a reference image.
- Campaign creatives generated from a short written brief, then edited on the same model.
- Layout and design iterations: generate a still, then revise the same frame from notes.
- Social and web stills in one of five aspect ratios before you keep the file.
