LoRA
Last updated: September 24, 2026
Definition
A LoRA, short for low-rank adaptation, is a small trained add-on that teaches a base model a specific subject or style, such as a single character or a particular visual look, without retraining the entire model. It is a lightweight, portable way to specialize outputs toward a consistent target.
How it works in FXI Studio
A LoRA captures the same goal FXI Studio pursues through references and directed consistency: making outputs reliably reflect one subject or look instead of drifting. Where a LoRA bakes that target into a trained file, Director Mode holds it across a scene through references and planning.
For most creators, anchoring shots to a reference and directing coverage reaches consistency without the training step, which keeps the workflow fast and the result answerable to the scene.
