CLI-native and built for people, scripts, and agents. CUDA on Linux, Metal on macOS, and the same local engine behind desktop, web, TUI, iPhone, REST, SSE, and MCP.
mold run "a cat" — that's it. Predictable stdin, stdout, files, exit behavior, and machine-readable output make the same workflows natural for terminals, shell pipelines, CI, and agents.
FLUX.1, SDXL, SD 1.5, SD 3.5, Z-Image, Flux.2 Klein, Qwen-Image, Qwen-Image-Edit, Wuerstchen v2, LTX Video, and LTX-2 / LTX-2.3. Images, native joint audio-video, and quantized variants that fit a wide range of GPUs.
Run mold serve on a GPU host, generate from anywhere. REST API with SSE streaming for real-time progress.
Built-in Discord bot with /generate, /expand, /models, and /status slash commands. Run standalone or embedded in the server.
Transform existing images, run multimodal Qwen edit workflows, inpaint regions with masks, and guide generation with ControlNet conditioning. LoRA adapters for FLUX, Flux.2, LTX-2, SD1.5, SD3, SDXL, Qwen-Image, Qwen-Image-Edit, and Z-Image.
Docker images for RunPod and any NVIDIA host. Nix flake, systemd service, NixOS module included.
Local LLM expands short prompts into detailed descriptions. Auto-downloads Qwen3-1.7B, dropped before diffusion runs.
Use mold from OpenClaw as a workspace skill while your GPU server runs elsewhere. Point `MOLD_HOST` at the server and generate from agent flows.
Mold began as a single-binary command-line tool and the CLI remains its stable foundation. Every core workflow can be run by a person, composed in a shell pipeline, automated in CI, or called by an agent. mold serve, REST/SSE, MCP, and the desktop, web, TUI, and iPhone clients all extend that same engine and contract.
Create locally on Apple Silicon or NVIDIA, or connect every Mold machine you use. The native desktop app keeps generation, a unified multi-host Library, model discovery, live downloads, queues, telemetry, and RunPod in one focused workspace.
