## Overview

Models are what power the AI part of your workflows. In Floyo, you can use any model supported through ComfyUI, including both open-source and closed/API-based models.

***

## Overview

| Model Type       | Access Method                  | Examples                         |
| ---------------- | ------------------------------ | -------------------------------- |
| **Open Source**  | Pre-loaded or community models | Stable Diffusion, FLUX, SDXL     |
| **Custom LoRAs** | Upload your own                | Personal fine-tunes, style LoRAs |
| **API Models**   | Floyo Partner Nodes            | Kling, Stability, Luma, OpenAI   |

## Open Source Models

Floyo supports all the major open source models you're used to:

| Category                            | Description                               |
| ----------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------- |
| **Text2Image models**               | Generate images from text prompts         |
| **Image2Image models**              | Transform existing images                 |
| **AI video models**                 | Generate and edit video content           |
| **LLMs**                            | Large language models for text generation |
| **Inpainting and upscaling models** | Edit and enhance images                   |
| **LoRAs and embeddings**            | Style and concept fine-tunes              |

Any model that works in ComfyUI can work in Floyo. Your models show up in the interface and can be used in any workflow.

## Adding Models

### Upload LoRA Models

You can upload your own LoRA models directly to your account:

1. Open the **File Browser** in the left sidebar
2. Navigate to the **models** folder
3. Upload your LoRA files

See [Upload LoRA Models](https://docs.floyo.ai/upload-lora-models) for detailed instructions.

### Request Community Models

For checkpoints, embeddings, and other model types:

1. Contact Floyo to request the model be added
2. Provide the model name and source (e.g., Hugging Face, CivitAI)
3. The team will add it to the community models

See [Request Community Model Upload](https://docs.floyo.ai/request-community-model-upload) for the request process.

:::BlockQuote
**💡 Tip:** Community models are available to all Floyo users. Your uploaded LoRAs remain private to your account.

## Closed-source Models via API

Floyo also supports running closed-source or third-party models using API calls using the Floyo Partner nodes

This gives you full flexibility:

- Combine open models with closed ones in the same workflow
- Use external tools mid-process
- Trigger outputs based on responses from other systems

See [Floyo Partner Nodes](https://docs.floyo.ai/floyo-partner-nodes) for available API integrations.

## Model Privacy and Control

Your models stay private unless you choose to share them.

| Context              | Privacy                                               |
| -------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------- |
| **Personal account** | Your LoRAs are private to you                         |
| **Team account**     | Admins control which models are available to the team |
| **Enterprise**       | Full control over model access and usage              |

In team environments, you can manage access, control usage, and define what models are available in which workspace.

## Model Locations in File Browser

| Folder                | Contents                             |
| --------------------- | ------------------------------------ |
| **models**            | Your uploaded custom models (LoRAs)  |
| **community\_models** | Shared models available to all users |

***

## Tips & Best Practices

- **Start with community models:** Explore what's available before uploading custom models
- **Organize LoRAs:** Use descriptive filenames for easy identification
- **Check compatibility:** Ensure models match your workflow requirements (e.g., SD 1.5 vs SDXL)
- **Monitor storage:** Models count against your storage allocation

***

## Troubleshooting

### Model not appearing in loader node?

**Solution:** Refresh the canvas or check that the model uploaded successfully in the File Browser. Some loader nodes may need to be re-added to detect new models.

### Upload failed?

**Solution:** Check that your file is a supported format and within size limits. LoRA files should be .safetensors or .pt format.

### Model produces unexpected results?

**Solution:** Verify the model is compatible with your workflow. For example, SDXL LoRAs won't work with SD 1.5 checkpoints.
