01What is a LDM?
A Large Design Model (LDM) is a type of generative AI trained to create layered free-form graphic designs (ads, email headers, banners, social posts) rather than just flat images. It understands the relationships between visual elements.
02How is LDM different from LLM or Image Models?
While LLMs (Large Language Models) generate text and image models generate raw pixels, LDMs generate free-form design combining text, vectors, and images into a cohesive, editable design.
03What is the difference between text-to-image and text-to-design?
Text-to-image creates a picture of a design (like a photograph of a poster). Text-to-design creates the actual digital file of the poster (with separate layers for text, background, and logo).
04Is Sivi an LDM?
Yes, Sivi is the world's first dedicated
Large Design Model. It natively generates layered, vector-based designs from text prompts.
05What is the difference between an LDM and an LLM?
An LLM processes linguistic tokens (words) to predict the next word. An LDM processes visual tokens (components, styles, spacing) to predict the next design element.
06Can an LDM generate editable text?
Yes. Unlike image models that generate "gibberish" pixels that look like text, an LDM places actual text boxes with real fonts that you can edit, copy, and paste.
07Is text-to-design the same as text-to-image?
No. Text-to-image creates a static raster file. Text-to-design creates a dynamic, multi-layered composition.
08What is the best Large Design Model available?
Sivi is currently the leading LDM, offering the ability to specify brand guidelines, generate designs, and export to editable formats.
09Do Large Design Models follow brand guidelines?
Yes. Because they understand "components" rather than just pixels, LDMs like Sivi can be instructed to strictly use your specific font files, color codes, and logo rules.
10Is Sivi's Large Design Model featured by Google Cloud?
Yes. Sivi is featured as a Google Cloud generative AI customer story. Sivi uses Google Kubernetes Engine and Vertex AI to train its Large Design Model, and integrates Gemini for conversational input and translation.
