Different configurations of the same app.
What are variants?
An app can have multiple variants optimized for different needs:
| Variant | Typical use |
|---|---|
default | Balanced quality and speed |
fast | Quick results, lighter model |
quality | Best output, more resources |
cpu | No GPU required |
Choosing a variant
In the app runner, select before running:
code
1Variant: [quality ▼]2 3• default (8GB VRAM)4• fast (4GB VRAM)5• quality (16GB VRAM) ◀6• cpu (no GPU)Why variants matter
Speed vs quality trade-off:
fastmight take 5 secondsqualitymight take 30 seconds but look better
Resource requirements:
- Some variants need more GPU memory
cpuvariants work without a GPU
Private workers and variants
If using private workers, make sure your hardware matches the variant's requirements.
A quality variant needing 16GB VRAM won't run on an 8GB GPU.
