Models

What you can run

Section titled “What you can run”
Terminal window
layer base-models list
layer base-models list --modality video
layer base-models list --featured        # only the recommended ones

The catalogue is read from your workspace rather than shipped with the package, so a model added, hidden, or deprecated for your team shows up without a CLI upgrade. It is cached per deployment for a day; --refresh on a generate command ignores the cache.

What a model accepts

Section titled “What a model accepts”
Terminal window
layer base-models show bfl-flux-2-pro

Prints the model’s parameters — names, types, defaults, and allowed values — read from the same inference schema the app renders its form from. These are the keys --param takes:

Terminal window
layer generate image --base-model bfl-flux-2-pro --param transparency=true -p "..."

A key that model does not declare fails before the request is sent, so a typo costs nothing.

For per-model reference pages with the full request body and code samples, see the Models section.

Machine-readable output

Section titled “Machine-readable output”
Terminal window
layer --json base-models list | jq -r '.base_models[].base_model_id'

--json puts the catalogue on stdout and nothing else — see scripting.
