Chat mode. In this mode, you can send text, or ask questions about a photo you send. 2. Image creattion mode. In this mode, just describe what you want in the image, and an image will be generated by a diffusion model. They first run could be slow, and subsequent runs will be faster. >= iPhone 13 Pro is recommended for best performance.
