# Higgsfield Model Selection Guide

Choosing the right model is the single biggest factor in output quality after the prompt.

This file handles most selection questions. For deep per-model documentation (prompting

specifics, parameters, edge cases, API details) → read `MODELS-DEEP-REFERENCE.md`.

The canonical comparison tables, the **Edit-Lane Chooser**, the **Long-Take Chooser**, and

the **Motion Transfer** table live in `../../model-guide.md` — this file agrees with them.

Star ratings are written only from real generations. A `—` in a star column means **not

yet field-rated**; platform facts for those rows are `[OFFICIAL — platform, snapshot 2026-09-26]`.

## Key Model Notes

**Kling 3.0 vs 2.6:** 3.0 is the current top Kling model — longer clips (15s vs 10s), native audio,

multi-shot AI direction, physics engine, 4K HDR, stylized output engine. 2.6 is now legacy —

use 3.0 for all new work unless cost is the primary constraint.

**Kling V3 vs O3:** Use V3 for prompt-driven cinematic work (text-to-video, image-to-video).

Use O3 when you have reference media (video or image+audio) to anchor character identity —

O3's reference-based consistency is its defining advantage.

**Kling 3.0 Motion Control:** Upload a 3–30s reference clip to transfer full-body motion,

hand gestures, facial expressions. Image Orientation for camera/talking head; Video

Orientation for complex motions (dancing, action, full-body movement). Genjutsu

(`hf_mult_motion_control`) is the other motion-transfer lane — see model-guide.md § Motion Transfer.

**Seedance 2.0:** Rule of 12 (up to 12 assets per

generation). Real person face uploads blocked — use synthetic character references. Best practices for Seedance 2.0 prompting are integrated into the sub-skills (see higgsfield-prompt, higgsfield-camera, higgsfield-motion).

**Seedance 2.5 (2026-09-26 surface):** 4–30s, 480p / 720p / **1080p**, four modes. `start_image` /

`end_image` are accepted **only in `omni_reference`**; `t2v` takes no media. 4K and the `genre`

param remain on the 2.0 family (2.0; `genre` also on 2.0 Mini). Dialect: `higgsfield-seedance-2-5`.

**Wan 3.0 / 3.0 Prime:** 2–30s (or `-1` smart duration, billed as 10s — offer it only when the

user asks the model to pick the length), 480p–1080p, native audio, `enable_thinking`. A call

carries either frames or references, never both. Vendor prompting dialect:

`MODELS-DEEP-REFERENCE.md` § Wan 3.0.

**Veo 3.1 vs 3.1 Lite vs 3:** 3.1 adds reference images (up to 3), first/last frame, video extension, 4K

at the Google API; the Higgsfield catalog's `veo3_1` exposes only a `start_image` role, so verify

those in the UI. 3.1 Lite is budget-priced 3.1 quality at 1080p — supports T2V and I2V with start +

end frames, costs less than half of 3.1 Fast. 3 is stable and proven. Use 3.1 for subject

consistency, 3.1 Lite for volume, 3 for pure environment/nature.

**Wan 2.7:** Major upgrade — native 60fps (vs 24fps in 2.6), up to 15s duration, first+last frame anchoring, up to 5 reference images, 4-model suite (T2V/I2V/R2V/video edit), Flow-Matching architecture. 40% better physics consistency over 2.6.

**Wan 2.5:** First Wan version with native audio — joint text/audio/video generation. Supports audio-driven video (upload audio to drive visuals). 1080p, 5–10s.

**Minimax Hailuo 2.3 vs 02:** 2.3 is a major upgrade — improved physics, anime/illustration styles, facial micro-expressions, better prompt adherence. Fast variant now at 1080p (02 Fast was 512p). 02 remains available for budget motion work.

**Grok Imagine:** Aurora architecture (autoregressive, not diffusion) — excels at text/logo

rendering and multi-image compositing. On Higgsfield: **Grok Image** (`grok_image`) and

**Grok Image 2.0** (`grok_image_2_0`) are live image models; Grok Video takes only a start image.

**Gemini Omni Flash / 1.1:** Google's reference-driven video models. 1.0 accepts image and video

references, native audio, 4–10s at 720p (16:9 or 9:16). 1.1 adds a required `mode`

(text-to-video / image-to-video / reference-to-video / edit), start/end frames, 3–10s, and

360p–4K; its edit mode uses the source duration capped at 30s. 1.1 is not yet field-rated.

## Cinema Studio 3.0 (Business/Team Plan)

Cinema Studio 3.0 is a separate generation engine available on Business and Team plans. Version toggle in the upper-right corner of the Cinema Studio UI switches between 2.5 and 3.0.

| Feature | Cinema Studio 2.5 | Cinema Studio 3.0 (Business/Team) | Cinema Studio 3.5 |

|---------|-------------------|-----------------------------------|--------------------|

| Video Resolution | Up to 1080p | Up to 720p (may increase) | 480p / 720p / 1080p (three-tier) |

| Image Resolution | Up to 4K | Up to 4K (Character/Location) · Up to 2K (General) | 1.5K / 2K (Soul Cinema, default image model) · 1K / 2K / 4K (Cinematic Cameras image model) |

| Max Duration | 12s | 15s | 15s |

| Aspect Ratios | 6 options | 7 options (+ 21:9 ultrawide) | Video: 7 options (Auto, 16:9, 9:16, 4:3, 3:4, 1:1, 21:9) · Image: 8 options (1:1, 3:4, 2:3, 9:16, 3:2, 4:3, 16:9, 21:9) |

| Audio | On/Off | On/Off (native dual-channel stereo) | On/Off (generated alongside video) |

| Shot Control | Manual multi-shot | Smart (auto) + Custom multi-shot | Video: 3-pill main UI (Genre / Style / Camera) · Image: Cinematic models picker (Soul Cinema default + Cinematic Characters / Locations / Cameras) — see `higgsfield-cinema` |

| Generation Cost | Varies | 48 credits | Varies — see Higgsfield plan documentation |

> For full Cinema Studio 3.0 documentation → see `higgsfield-cinema`

Cinema Studio 3.5 sits alongside 2.5 and 3.0 in the model selector — all three coexist on the platform, version is user-selected, and there is no auto-routing between them. 3.5 reframes the surface: the main UI collapses creative control into three pills (Genre / Style / Camera), each defaulting to Auto with manual override available. Optical physics is restored via a four-axis Camera Settings panel (Camera Body / Lens / Focal Length / Aperture, with 75mm added as a new focal length vs 2.5's 8/14/35/50mm set — vocabulary differs from 2.5; do not mix). The Style Settings panel exposes three preset axes (Color Palette / Lighting / Camera Moveset Style) plus a free-form Manual Style mode for natural-language style direction. An AI director toggle is visible in the bottom toolbar; function not yet documented. 3.5 supports both video and image generation; the image-mode picker exposes four Cinematic models (Soul Cinema default, plus Cinematic Characters, Cinematic Locations, and Cinematic Cameras with 2.5 vocabulary) — see `higgsfield-cinema` for the image-mode surface.

> For full Cinema Studio 3.5 documentation → see `higgsfield-cinema`

**Cinema Studio 4.0** (`cinematic_studio_video_4_0`) is live as a **CLI workflow** (not in the MCP

`models_explore` list, 2026-09-26): the same four modes as Seedance 2.5 (`t2v` / `omni_reference` /

`video_edit` / `video_extension`), 480p / 720p / 1080p, native audio, plus camera body / lens /

aperture / genre / era / pacing / light / color-palette params. The CLI schema states no duration

bounds — verify before promising a long take. Not yet field-rated; full surface in

`higgsfield-cinema` § Cinema Studio 4.0.
