We are excited to announce that we are making select proprietary Hive models and popular open-source generative models directly accessible for customers to deploy and integrate into their workflows.
Starting today, customers can now create projects by themselves with just a few clicks.
Hive Proprietary Models
We have made select proprietary Hive models accessible to customers across our Understand and Search model categories, ranging from our Celebrity Recognition API to our Speech-to-Text model. For a full list of generally available models, see our pricing page here.
Additional Model Offerings
We currently offer a variety of open-source image generation models and large language models (LLMs) that customers can directly access themselves.
For image generation models, we have four different options available today, with additional models being served in the coming weeks: SDXL (Stable Diffusion XL), SDXL Enhanced, Flux Schnell, and Flux Schnell Enhanced. SDXL Enhanced and Flux Schnell Enhanced are Hive’s enhanced versions of the aforementioned base models, served exclusively to our customers. The differences are outlined in the table below.
| SDXL (Stable Diffusion XL) | Latent diffusion text-to-image generation model produced by Stability AI. Trained on a larger dataset than the base model, with a larger UNet enabling better generation. |
| SDXL Enhanced | Hive’s enhanced version of SDXL, served exclusively to our customers. Tailored toward a photorealistic and refined art style with extreme detail. |
| Flux Schnell | Flux’s fastest model in their suite of text-to-image models, capable of generating images in 4 or fewer steps. Best suited for local development and personal use. |
Flux Schnell Enhanced | Hive’s enhanced version of Flux Schnell that is trained on our proprietary data and retains the base model’s speed and efficiency, served exclusively to our customers. Generates images across a wide range of artistic styles with a specialization in photorealism, leading to high levels of customer satisfaction based on past user studies. |
For LLMs, we have a selection of Meta’s Llama models from their Llama 3.1 and 3.2 series available now. The differences are outlined in the table below.
Llama 3.1 8B Instruct | Llama 3.1 8B Instruct is a multilingual, instruction-tuned text-only model. Compared to other available open source and closed chat models, Llama 3.1 instruction-tuned text-only models achieve higher scores across common industry benchmarks. We provide this model in one additional size (70B). |
Llama 3.1 70B Instruct | Llama 3.1 70B Instruct is a multilingual, instruction-tuned text-only model. Compared to other available open source and closed chat models, Llama 3.1 instruction-tuned text-only models achieve higher scores across common industry benchmarks. We provide this model in one additional size (8B). |
Llama 3.2 1B Instruct | Llama 3.2 1B Instruct is a lightweight, multilingual, instruction-tuned text-only model that fits onto both edge and mobile devices. Use cases where the model excels include summarizing or rewriting inputs, as well as instruction following. We provide this model in one additional size (3B). |
Llama 3.2 3B Instruct | Llama 3.2 3B Instruct is a lightweight, multilingual, instruction-tuned text-only model that fits onto both edge and mobile devices. Use cases where the model excels include summarizing or rewriting inputs, as well as instruction following. We provide this model in one additional size (1B). |
We plan to make more models available for direct use in the coming months.
How to Create a Project

To create a new project, click on the plus (+) sign next to “Projects” on the top-left side of the screen. You will be redirected to the following page, where you can choose your project type. Select “Hive Models.”
Then, you will be redirected to another page containing our available models. Click to select the desired model for your project.
After selecting your desired model, you will need to configure your project. Change your project’s name using the text box below. Once you hit the blue “Create” button, your project will be live.
Upon project creation, you will be redirected to the following interface. Here, you can view your API key by clicking the “API Keys” Button on the top right.
Using this API key, you can call the API by making a cURL request in your terminal. To interpret the results, please refer to our documentation and look up the relevant model and its class definitions.
