Image model

Yandex Art — Yandex's image generator, no subscription

Yandex Art in GPTunneL: image generation from a Russian-language prompt, with no subscription and no Shedevrum. Pay per image from one balance.

What Yandex Art is good at

The traits that get this model picked over global generators.

A Russian prompt, untranslated

The key difference from global generators: the model was trained on Russian-language captions, so it takes the prompt as written — no need to translate it into English.

Knows the local context

Street scenes, signage, typical architecture and everyday objects come out recognisable, where global models tend to render a loose approximation.

A low price per image

The model costs noticeably less than the well-known global generators, which makes it handy for volume work and for hunting through options.

No subscription, no Shedevrum

Yandex Art is normally reached through the Shedevrum app and a subscription. In GPTunneL it is simply a model in the shared chat: you pay per image from the same balance as everything else.

2023

YandexART

The first version — a diffusion model trained on hundreds of millions of captioned images, and the start of Yandex's own image generation.

How billing works

There is no subscription: you top up one balance and spend it on any model on the platform.

Pay per image

You are charged for the generated image. Not using it costs nothing — no monthly subscription and no limits.

One balance for every model

Yandex Art, ChatGPT, Claude, video and music generation — all out of the same wallet. No separate subscription per service.

Top up the way you prefer

International cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay or crypto. The minimum top-up is $5.

Example generations

Every frame was generated in Yandex Art from an ordinary text description. There is no need to translate the prompt into English — the model was trained on Russian-language captions.

Frequently asked questions

No. In GPTunneL Yandex Art is available after an ordinary sign-up — no Yandex account and no subscription, and it is billed from the shared balance.

Yandex Art is Yandex's image generator. What sets it apart from global models is that it was trained on Russian-language captions from the start: the prompt can be written in ordinary Russian, with no translation into English, and the model takes it as written.

Its second strength is local context. Street scenes, signage, typical architecture and everyday objects come out recognisable, where global generators render a loose approximation. The current generation is built on a hybrid architecture and improved noticeably on detail and photorealism.

Yandex Art is normally reached through the Shedevrum app and a subscription. In GPTunneL it is simply a model in the shared chat, billed per image from the same balance as everything else.
