| Summary | IP-Adapter is a lightweight image-prompt adapter for text-to-image diffusion models that enables reference-image-guided generation by injecting learned cross-attention layers into a frozen base model. It allows image conditioning alongside or instead of text prompts without retraining the underlying diffusion checkpoint. | Balanced Claude model for coding and agents. |
