The current world of AI is an-ever changing landscape of rapid innovation and evolution, and here at Leonardo.Ai we are constantly striving to be at the forefront of that conversation, (including our exciting new feature, which is set to turn the expected into pure gold).

Since our inception in late December 2022 we are proud to have skyrocketed our user-base from 3,000 members to over 1.5 million, with a further 1 million patiently waiting for access — (which we are working on right now, we promise)!

In addition, we have continually made improvements and overhauls to our comprehensive platform — such as the inclusion of Texture Generation; which enables video game developers and artists alike to easily texture 3D models, and ControlNet; which provides users with more granular control over their creations, such as guiding poses, or retraining depth and edges.

However, we feel that our latest in groundbreaking features pushes the envelope further than ever before, giving our community of artists unparalleled quality and detail to work their magic with. Its name?

Alchemy.

The Chemistry of Creation

Like the name suggests, Alchemy is truly transformative. A brand new and bespoke 2D image pipeline, it significantly levels up the quality of image generation, and enables much higher base resolution while retaining coherency.

Extreme levels of detail simply not seen before!

In addition, increases the level of detail possible, and brings substantial lighting and shading improvements. All of this combines to open up entirely new possibilities to both new and veteran users alike. This is all thanks to hard work by our ML back-end team, always looking to push the boundaries of what’s possible.

Using it couldn’t be simpler either: the Alchemy pipeline can be easily toggled on or off within the AI image generation tool. Presets are also available to all users of Alchemy, making the task of prompting simpler and more streamlined for those who want to create exceptional images but might not have extensive experience in AI art generation.

We’ve also listened to valuable feedback from our amazing community and included introduced a much-requested feature — prompt weighting — thereby adding in a further layer of nuanced control to the entire creative process.

Exciting news!

While Alchemy is a premium feature, we have something special in store for you. Coming soon, there will be a limited-time opportunity for all users to experience the magic of Alchemy with a 1-week trial!
