Just Getting Started

18 Jun 2026, 10:17 · 3

Hi everyone,

I'm just getting started and I'm not sure where to begin. I have a couple of beginner questions:

What image size should I use or download for the best results?
Which model would you recommend I try first as a beginner?

I'd appreciate any advice or recommendations to help me get started.

Thanks in advance!

Image size: A good starting point is 1024 × 1024 pixels. It's widely supported by most AI image-generation models and provides a good balance between quality and speed.
Beginner-friendly models:FLUX.1 Dev – Excellent image quality and prompt understanding. Stable Diffusion XL (SDXL) – Popular, versatile, and well-supported with many tutorials. Juggernaut XL (based on SDXL) – Great for realistic images. Pony Diffusion XL – Popular if you're interested in anime or stylized artwork.

Look for a starter notebook from a previous challenge on this platform or better yet use LLM like Gemini or any other to get you started and why would you want to start with an image?? First work with the CSV file provided. Haven't you seen people getting perfect scores with those files???
