# Level of detail

Detail level controls how much creative freedom the model has. By adjusting the amount of instruction you provide, you decide whether the model should explore broadly or render with precision.

The level of detail in a prompt determines how much guidance the model receives and how closely it will follow your intention. Choosing the right amount of detail helps you balance predictability with creative exploration.

Use level of detail intentionally. Expand it when you need specific results, and reduce it when you want variation and creative freedom.
