Custom Models
Kolbo's in-house MIRAGE cinematic models and the Training Lab for your own custom models
Beyond the third-party models, Kolbo.AI ships its own in-house cinematic models and lets you train custom models on your own styles and characters.
MIRAGE Models
MIRAGE is a family of cinematic models trained in-house by Kolbo.AI. They bake film aesthetics, lifestyle looks, and character pipelines directly into the model, so you describe only the subject, setting, and light.
| Model | Type | Built on | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| MIRAGE FILM | Text to image | Z-Image Turbo | Analog film look with grain, depth of field, and natural color grading |
| MIRAGE FILM Ultra | Text to image | FLUX.2 | Premium cinematic film look with richer tonal range and higher fidelity |
| MIRAGE LIFE | Text to image, editing | Z-Image | iPhone-style lifestyle and influencer photography that blends into a real feed |
| MIRAGE CAST | Character and asset pipeline | Z-Image Turbo and FLUX | Consistent cast member reference images: characters, props, and environments |
Notes
- MIRAGE FILM and MIRAGE FILM Ultra handle film grain, highlight roll-off, and analog color automatically. Ultra adds finer grain structure and higher fidelity, and supports Visual DNA for character consistency.
- MIRAGE LIFE produces authentic candid portraits in an iPhone lifestyle style, with a matching edit mode to apply the look to an existing image.
- MIRAGE CAST generates consistent reference images for a full character pipeline (body plus face close-up) or a single prop or environment shot. It powers the cast workflow rather than being called directly.
Training Lab
The Training Lab lets you train your own custom model on your styles, products, or characters, then generate with it like any other model. You pick the base model that fits your goal:
| Base | Best for |
|---|---|
| FLUX.2 | High-fidelity general training, photorealism, and text |
| Qwen | Credit-efficient training and editing-friendly outputs |
| Krea | Aesthetic, stylized training |
| WAN | Video-capable training workflows |
| Z-Image | Fast, lightweight training for lifestyle and portrait looks |
Once trained, your model appears in your model picker and works across the standard image tools. The MIRAGE family above are examples of what is possible with in-house LoRA training on these same bases.
Where to use these
MIRAGE models appear in the Image tools and Creative Director model pickers. The Training Lab is its own tool. See Image Tools and Features for the full set of capabilities.
