The Large Design Model

The foundational model for design generation. While text-to-image AI imagines pixels, a Large Design Model (LDM) engineers layout. It is an AI architecture trained to understand design principles: hierarchy, grouping, typography, whitespace, and composition, to generate professional designs, not just images. Move from prompting for a picture to creating a design.

The gap in generative AI

Text-to-image models like Midjourney, DALL-E, or Nanobanana Pro represent a breakthrough in digital art. They are incredible at generating a surreal concept art or a stock photo replacement.

However, for businesses, they fail at one critical task: Design.

The problem?

Text-to-image models generate flat raster images. The text they generate is often hallucinated, buttons are just colored rectangles you can't click, and you cannot move a single element. If you need to change a headline, you have to regenerate the entire image and hope for the best.

The Solution

The Large Design Model. By treating design as a system of components rather than a grid of pixels, an LDM bridges the gap between chaos and control.

What is a Large Design Model?

A Large Design Model is a generative AI system that outputs layered data like JSON instead of just pixel data.

As a true design generator, it understands that a card consists of an image, a headline, a subtext, and a CTA button. It knows that the CTA button needs to align with the text branding.

Large Design Model Architecture

LDM employs custom diffusion models and multimodal architectures. LDM starts by understanding the content (text and assets) as well as the user-provided brand details, transforming them into a JSON representation.

The composer takes the representation JSON, adds styles and preferences, and produces a layered design as JSON.

The composition JSON is then passed onto the SVG Rendering Engine, where the color generator enhances the composed design with brand colors.

This layered design, enhanced with colors, can then be further customized using the design editor.

Why the industry needs LDM

Editable & Layered

Real design work is iterative. Marketing teams need the ability to swap a product image or rewrite a headline without breaking the composition. LDMs generate layers, making this instant.

Brand Consistent

Text-to-image models struggle to perfectly replicate a logo or a specific hex code because they dream the image. An LDM constructs the design using your exact brand assets.

Any Size

There is no one size fits all. Text-to-image models are fixed to specific aspect ratios. Text-to-design outputs generate in any size, from a mobile banner to a billboard to a custom size such as 328 x 244.

Use cases for LDM

High-CTR Display Ads

Generate hundreds of variations for A/B testing. Because the text is real, the LDM allows for instant copy swapping.

Social Media Content

Feed the LDM a blog post, and it generates a summary. It understands the essence of content.

Eye-catching Thumbnails

Describe a YouTube thumbnail for a crypto channel, and the LDM builds the composition, key visuals, and headlines in the correct positions.

Common questions about LDM

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.

Experience the power of LDM.

Start generating real designs rather than wrestling with prompts that give you unusable images.

What business owners, marketers, AI enthusiasts, and designers say about Sivi

I like how the prompt wizard is created. Generate process is cool. I like the approach when you actually see what is going on, instead of looking at some spinner for X minutes and be not sure if it is still processing or it is freezing. Simple and easy to use Edit mode. This is really cool product.
George FrigoLead product designer
Sivi.ai is an impressive tool that can significantly speed up your design workflow. Its ability to generate visuals in a variety of dimensions and the option to edit the designs make it a versatile option for anyone in need of appealing designs.
Max YampolskyFounder @ One Click Crypto
Really great tool, game-changer that disrupts a huge market and everything connected with design and content creation.
Anna SvirshchevskayaProduct owner at @Paige
I am an early beta user of Sivi and I love its present and future. I love the deep thought the team has put in it to understand the design process and making it business owner savvy. This is transformational for our GTM to help us quickly have multiple options in design for our messaging.
Pradeep SoundararajanFounder CEO of Bugasura.io
As per the tool - I’ve been looking for a long time when there will be an AI tool to generate design from text with a user-friendly interface. And it seems like this is the one!
Oleksandr NaumovMarketer
Loved the idea of providing a prompt template to help new users get the most out of their first tries! I was surprised by how complete this product is, being able to edit the content and the visuals separately is a really good idea.
