Una skill de Claude pot substituir Higgsfield? Costos i riscos

I just replaced Higsfield with one

clawed skill because Higsfield, even

though they're good at marketing their

service, is quite expensive and has

unfortunately and repeatedly [music]

frustrated a lot of their users with the

most recent one being a planned update

to their terms that supposedly let them

own the content that you generate. So

today, I'll show you an alternative

where instead of paying $100 a month or

more, you can just use this Claw skill

to create whatever you want using any

model and only pay for what you

generate. And by the end, I'll also show

you how you can create this skill

yourself so that it's hyper customized

to the work that you do. Let's dive into

it. All right. So, I'm in the cloud

desktop app right now. And what I'm

going to do is to just invoke this skill

called /generate. And I'm going to paste

in this prompt where essentially what

I'm going to do is to have it create a

variety of image ads for this product

that's called the ketone IQ energy shot,

which is this real product. And at least

for this exercise, we're creating some

image ads to launch this green apple

flavor. And you can see what I also did

in the prompt here is to give it some

reference images just so that Claude

understands what are the different

design systems that this brand has used

in the past. And apart from that, what

we're also going to do are a few nice

techniques that you can't really do in

something like Higsfield. So you can see

in the rules here, I've set a total

budget for it for these generations,

which I've set to be $3. I also asked it

to use a variety of image models because

I want to see GBD image 2 versus Nano

Banana 2 versus Nano Banana Pro and so

on just so that we can compare the

results of those. And we also gave it

instructions to use the cheapest model

provider from the sources that we have

it connected to which is all part of

this generate skill. So we're going to

send that over and from here Claude will

do all of the work in order to craft the

prompts as per our direction and even

send it to the model providers that we

have linked it to. All right. So now

that it's done, you can see it created

three image ads each for each of these

models which I've also open on my side

here. And you can see these images were

created with GPD image 2. These ones

were using Nano Banana 2 light. And they

are all different because I asked Claude

to make them all different. And this in

general is just a useful way for you to

get a variety of designs in order for

you to pin down the style that you want.

And uh if you want to explore models as

well to see which one works the best for

you then that is something that you can

do with this skill also. Now the other

benefit of generating images and videos

in claude rather than Higsfield is that

if let's say you are actually partial to

this design and you want to create a

website inspired by this design then

what we can do is to just copy the path

of that file and if we send a prompt

like this to cloud code in that same

session where you can see I'm giving it

the path to that photo that we like and

just ask it to build us a website for

this drink and give it a few commands

here like for example we want to animate

that image to video using cling and we

want the colors to be aligned to that

image that we gave and also for Claude

to generate a few more images using that

style. Then apart from just generating

images and videos, you can see that

Claude also built us a website that also

incorporates those creative media that

we generated with it. And if I open that

website on my side, you can see that it

already did the hard work of number one

passing that image to become a video

which it put in the background in here.

And if we scroll down, it also gave us a

few more images in that same style. But

obviously this is just a oneshot prompt.

But you can see just how far it takes

you with just a single command. But the

great thing about it is it probably

takes you like 70% to 80% there in terms

of just creating this website in just a

few minutes. And all of that's made

possible because of this /generate

skill. And for you to understand how it

works is actually quite useful for you

to also get how Higsfield works under

the hood. Because Higsfield in essence,

if you strip it down to sort of its core

functionality, what it really is is it's

a wrapper against these creative AI

models. So for example, these Google

ones like Nano Banana or VO, you can

actually use these models directly

without paying or subscribing to

Higsfield's plans. In fact, if you just

do a quick Google search, you can

probably find the official documentation

on how Higsfield connects to these

different models. Like for example, for

V3.1, it used to be that you needed to

understand a lot of these coding and

technical jargon for you to wire up to

these models. But most likely, if you

were Higsfield, what you would probably

do in this case is point your AI model

or your AI agent in this case to this

whole documentation in order to learn

how to connect your application, in this

case Higsfield, to these different

models. And so that's basically what

they do. And once they aggregate those

models and those connections, that is

essentially their business model. and

they charge you something like $79 a

month I think it is for the max plan now

which you as the user pays in exchange

for credits to access these models. Now

there's obviously nothing inherently

wrong with this because there is value

in aggregation but I think a big part of

the reason why a lot of users are

looking for alternatives now is because

of some of the shady business practices

that Higsfield has pretty much

demonstrated over the past few months.

One of the big ones which you probably

heard about in the last week is its

upcoming update to its terms of use

where they mentioned there that

everything that you generate will be

usable by them and that they would have

the rights to it. I think they have

since withdrawn that statement and they

issued this sort of clarifying piece of

article around the update to their

terms. And you can see here that they're

saying that you own what you make

obviously but you do have to agree to

the fact that the content that you

generate will be used to run the service

and also even improve some of their

models. So, if that's something that you

don't mind, then Higsfield may be for

you. The other thing that I think a lot

of people have complained about is this

deletion window. So, to prevent you from

cancelling, if you remove your account

or unsubscribe, you have a limited

number of time before you can download

those images for yourself before they

fully delete it and it'll be gone

forever. Which in contrast, if you use

Claude in that skill that I showcased,

you can see that I have every single

image that we generated along with its

prompts. So these are all the prompts

that we used or rather cloud use in

order to generate these images that are

all available locally on my device. So I

own it. It doesn't have to be used for

training Higsfield's models and I also

control which ones get deleted and which

ones I want to keep for the long term.

And lastly, if you just go to

Higsfield.ai and go to their pricing

page, I feel that every time that I go

to Higsfield's website, they always have

this unlimited access trial going on.

So, at this point, I'm not even sure if

it's really unlimited because I've heard

it's unlimited with like a lot of

caveats and a lot of limits on which

models that you want to use. And uh at

least in my view, this pricing page

might just be one of the most complex

ones that I've ever seen. But right now,

in terms of pricing, at least here in

Australia where I'm at, it is at $49 per

month for the plus plan and $79 per

month for the max plan. And so the

drawback of this subscription-based

usage is that on a given month, if you

only use just images and some videos and

you don't fully utilize this $79 a

month, then you still pay that same $79.

But the good news is there's actually

some real alternatives to Higsfield

which we've utilized for this skill. And

essentially these providers they do the

same thing where they aggregate these

models through that method that I showed

earlier where they probably crawl

through the websites of Google of

Dreamina and OpenAI in order to

understand how to connect to these

models directly and they serve them

through their websites. And there's a

lot of these model aggregators, but at

least the tree that we have used

consistently in our platform and in our

work would be file AI, wave speed as

well as key. And the model that they

have as a business is different from

Higsfield because they actually don't

charge you on a monthly basis. They only

charge you on a pay as you go basis.

Meaning if you only generate like five

images this month, then you'll only be

charged by the cost of those five

images. And so now if we go to file.ai

AI in their explore tab. You can see

that essentially what they do is the

same as Higfield where they aggregate

all of these models and let you access

them through just one account and one

API key. In fact, one of the benefits

when it comes to Falloutai as well as

Wavespeed. Both of these services

probably have the most models available

to you through just one account. And you

can see there's like almost at this

point 500 models that are available for

you to use. So it spans text to image,

text to 3D, text to audio, speech to

text, and so on. Now, obviously, one of

the big questions with services like

file or wave speed or key is are they

actually cheaper versus something like

Higsfield? And the answer to that is

actually quite complex because it is

dependent on the model that you're

using. But just to give you one clear

benefit of knowing how to use these

tools, if you were to map GPD image 2,

which in my opinion is probably the best

image editing model that is out there

right now, if you go and generate an

image that is 2K resolution and a 1:1

aspect ratio, the resulting cost for

Higsfield is around 31 to 34 cents

depending on the plan that you have. And

that is a bit cheaper versus something

like fall or wave speed. But remember,

the benefit of fall and wave speed is

that you can pay as you go. So even

without you shelling out $79 or $49, you

can actually programmatically use this

GPD image 2 model using tools like cloud

like what we showed earlier. Now there

is an outlier which is key.ai. Now

key.ai we have used this multiple times

in our platform in our channel and we're

probably one of the first ones who

mentioned their existence but they are

quite popular because of how cheap they

can offer these models. And I double

checked this myself, but it is the case

that to generate an image with GPD image

2 using key, it is only 5 cents per

image. And if you go to key.ai in the

page for GPD image 2, you can see that

as well where their pricing for GPT2

image is only 3 cents for a 1K image, 5

cents for a 2K image, and 8 cents for

4K. Now, the question is obviously how

are they able to offer this model at

such cheap prices. And obviously only

the KI team would know for sure. But if

I were to hazard a guess, because they

did this with Sora as well before,

they're probably using the OpenAI

subscription, which is something like

$20 a month, which remember if you go to

chat GBT, you can actually use GBD image

to right from the chat window there. And

so most likely, and again, I can't

confirm this, they probably found a way

for those subscription accounts, which

are highly subsidized and offer them to

us programmatically through their API

services here. So it's really up to you

how you're going to use that

information. But just know that if you

are wanting to use GPT image 2

programmatically through a tool like

Claude, then KI is probably the cheapest

that you can get it at the moment. Now

again, this varies, right? Because if

you're after video and for this one, I

just summarized the ones for C dance to

fast. And this is for like a 720p

8second generation. The cost per video

is not really that far across the board.

Again, Higsfield as well as Kir the

cheapest. But the drawback with

Higsfield is the monthly subscription

cost that you need to pay as well as all

of those terms that you need to agree

to, like having the stuff you generate

be used for training whatever models

they want. So really, it's up to you

whether you want to continue using

Higsfield. But at least what I'm showing

you now is that there's actually a lot

of optionality when it comes to these

model aggregators. And if you have

awareness of at least these three

aggregators which are probably leaders

in the space in my view then that will

just give you flexibility especially if

you're not a big fan of Higsfield's

model. And also just to mention this

because in our community there's always

a question on the difference between

these three and what I use personally. I

think broadly as a guiding principle if

in case cost is an important factor for

you I would go with key AI. The only

problem with keys is sometimes they

would have some reliability issues

supposedly because of how much demand

they're getting because they do offer

the cheapest models. And so for most

projects, I actually default to F AI

because it's much more reliable and the

difference in cost is usually just a few

cents anyway. And whenever I'm looking

for other more niche models that may not

be available in fall, then wave speed

would be my go-to because they also have

a huge library of generative AI models

that you can choose from. And by the

way, if you want to learn how to build

and sell AI systems that businesses

actually pay for, then that's pretty

much all we do over at the Robbo Nuggets

community, where not only do you get

access to the Claude Living Master

Class, which we update every week and

takes you from zero to mastery with the

latest on AI, but you also get access to

our agents as a service course, which

walks you through how to actually get

paid for all these AI skills that you

are learning. You also get to be part of

a genuinely great community of AI

builders. In fact, you can see just some

of the recent wins our members are

getting from the program right here. So

if you want to start earning from AI

then check that just in the pin comment

below. Now back to the video. So now

with that context, let's now go back to

the /generate skill and how you can

start using a skill like this as well.

And a skill and its essence, if I just

open it here, it's just all a written

document that provides instructions to

claude on how to access these different

models. And so it's highly customizable

depending on the type of work that you

do. And you can also add in any hard

rules that you would like to have. Like

for example, if you want the cost to be

coded always before submitting,

especially with tools like Claude where

if you ask it to generate a 100 images,

it will actually go into it and drain

your credits. These sort of hard rules

are actually quite important as you

continuously refine this skill to your

liking. But if we were to summarize it

and I just included it in this flows tab

for how this /generate skill works and

if I just shift that so you can see. And

so how this skill works whenever I

invoke it is first it routes the model

and by default I have it look for the

cheapest option available as per its

sources. And so if it's cheapest in KI

it tries that first and let's say if KI

is unavailable then it routes to file

then wave speed and so on. It then loads

all of the references and also crafts

the prompts which obviously with cloud

is very flexible. So if you want to

inspect those prompts first before it

actually generates the images or videos

for you then you can do that too. And

then the third step is the actual

generation of the media. So it calls on

the model itself in order to generate

those images or those videos similar to

what we did earlier. Now the final step

that I haven't shown yet is that it

actually has a logging mechanism. So it

allows you to just store all of the

prompts that Cloud has passed on to

those models so that if you need to go

back to it, then you can actually do

that. And lastly, it autoloads all of

those images or videos that you generate

in this generations tab, which if I go

to that tab, you can see this is quite

similar to Higsfield's sort of masonry

grid where you just see all of the

images as well as the videos that you

generate in just one infinite canvas

because with matters of design and

visuals. This is actually really

important versus you just having to live

in Claude codes terminal or chat window,

right? You need to be able to see what

Claude and these models are actually

generating for you to be able to

properly assess if they're good or not.

And a great part about having your own

sort of micro application like this

where you can store all of your

generated assets is that you can also

add in features that you would like.

Like for example, if I open up this

styles area, then you can actually see

some of the styles that I use myself. So

that let's say if I want a cinematic

liquid glass look, I can just click on

this. that will copy the prompt as well

as the file path to some references of

this style and I can then send that to

Claude so that we can generate this

style whenever we want. And so to make

it really easy for you to build your own

slashgenerate skill as well as walking

you through how to set up your API keys

through KAI as well as file AI. I just

made this comprehensive eight-page PDF

guide which you can either read through

or just pass it along to your cloud code

and that should get you set up with

creating your own/generate skill. And

the good thing about it is that this is

entirely flexible. So for example, if

you have a need for another model, so

let's say you want to add Google's new

omni flash model into that /generate

skill, then you can actually head to

something like file AI, copy the content

for LLMs here at the top right, then you

can just tell Claude to add this to the

slashgenerate skill and then go ahead

and paste that whole piece of text that

will be copied from file.ai. And so

continuously as you tailor this

/generate skill for yourself, what

you'll end up with is a really strong

Higsfield alternative so that you don't

need to be locked into the monthly

subscription cost. And of course, if you

want that version of the gallery wall as

well, then I included this simple prompt

that you can use to get started there.

So if you want to grab this whole PDF,

then that's just available down in the

link in the pin comment below. But there

you go. I hope that was useful and as

always, thanks for watching until the

end and I'll see you all next time.

Thank you.
