Switch in one line

Both models live behind Railwail's OpenAI-compatible endpoint. Replace the model string and you are done.

JavaScript / TypeScript
import OpenAI from "openai";

const client = new OpenAI({
  apiKey: process.env.RAILWAIL_API_KEY,
  baseURL: "https://railwail.com/v1",
});

// Before — using Skin Type Image Detection (ViT)
let r = await client.chat.completions.create({
  model: "dima806/skin_types_image_detection",
  messages: [{ role: "user", content: "Hello" }],
});

// After — switched to Flux Dev
r = await client.chat.completions.create({
  model: "black-forest-labs/flux-dev-lora",
  messages: [{ role: "user", content: "Hello" }],
});

Frequently asked questions

Which is cheaper, Skin Type Image Detection (ViT) or Flux Dev?
Skin Type Image Detection (ViT) and Flux Dev cannot be compared on per-token price: at least one of them has no per-token price listed (it is priced per run or not yet priced). See each model page for its current price.
Which has more context, Skin Type Image Detection (ViT) or Flux Dev?
Skin Type Image Detection (ViT) and Flux Dev have similar context windows (— vs —).
Is Skin Type Image Detection (ViT) better than Flux Dev for coding?
For coding-heavy workloads we lean toward Skin Type Image Detection (ViT) on this comparison — it scores higher on the relevant heuristics (category, tags, or context window). Both models are usable for code via Railwail's OpenAI-compatible endpoint, so the safest path is to A/B test on your own prompts.
Can I use both Skin Type Image Detection (ViT) and Flux Dev via Railwail?
Yes. Both Skin Type Image Detection (ViT) and Flux Dev are accessible through a single Railwail API key and the OpenAI-compatible /v1/chat/completions endpoint. You only change the "model" parameter to switch between them — no SDK swap, no separate billing.
How do I switch from Skin Type Image Detection (ViT) to Flux Dev?
Replace the model identifier "dima806/skin_types_image_detection" with "black-forest-labs/flux-dev-lora" in your request payload. Everything else — API key, base URL, request shape — stays the same. See the code example on this page for the exact one-line change.
