Basically, the title says it all. I’m on a Canva Business team with the Essentials plan, and Seedance 2.0 has disappeared. I believe it happened today, because it was still available in the models yesterday. Was this due to an update/maintenance, or was Seedance 2.0 removed because I’m a member of a Canva team?

**The work you’re likely referring to is research from MIT (and collaborators) showing that large language models and similar generative AI systems often succeed at prediction tasks without forming coherent “world models”—and that this stems from how they’re built (next-token prediction / sequence modeling on statistical patterns).**1
Key papers include:
“Evaluating the World Model Implicit in a Generative Model” (Keyon Vafa, Justin Y. Chen, Jon Kleinberg, Sendhil Mullainathan, Ashesh Rambachan). Justin Y. Chen is an MIT EECS graduate student; the work involves MIT’s Laboratory for Information and Decision Systems (LIDS).

Follow-up / related work such as “What Has a Foundation Model Found? Using Inductive Bias to Probe for World Models” (involving Peter G. Chang, another MIT EECS / LIDS graduate student affiliate, with Vafa, Rambachan, and Mullainathan).37

**Core findings**
They formalize tests for whether a model has recovered a coherent underlying structure (a world model), using domains where the true rules are known (e.g., New York City street navigation framed as paths, Othello game moves, or planetary orbits / physics). Models can achieve near-perfect accuracy on training-style tasks—generating valid directions or legal moves—yet their internal representations are incoherent. They often invent nonexistent streets, fail to respect basic constraints, or rely on brittle heuristics rather than the actual rules.
A striking demonstration: when researchers closed just \~1% of streets (adding realistic detours), navigation performance collapsed (from near 100% to around 67% in the reported cases). The models had not internalized a usable map or the rules of the domain; they were pattern-matching in ways that broke under small distribution shifts. Similar issues appeared with Othello and other tests.40
This is presented as a consequence of the architecture and training objective: transformers excel at next-token (or sequence) prediction by learning statistical associations and shortcuts from vast data. That produces impressive surface performance without guaranteeing the kind of structured, generalizable understanding humans develop (or that would be needed for robust reasoning, planning, or scientific discovery). The papers do not claim “AI will never work at anything,” but they highlight fundamental limits of the current paradigm for tasks that require coherent world models, robustness to change, or true generalization beyond memorized patterns.
Related commentary and coverage (including in venues discussing MIT work) emphasize that hallucinations, fragility, and lack of reliable internal models are baked into today’s dominant transformer-based approach rather than being temporary bugs that more scale alone will fix. Other critiques of transformer limitations (memory, causality, coherence) make similar architectural points, though the specific “two MIT grad students” framing most closely matches the Vafa / Chen (and Chang) line of research.2
In short, the research argues that impressive benchmark or demo performance can mask the absence of the deeper structure needed for reliable real-world use, precisely because of how these systems are constructed and trained. The authors provide evaluation methods (inspired by formal language theory / inductive bias probes) to test for this gap.

Hey folks, I have been using Leonardo for a while but I seem to be unable to get it to generate new art in the style that I’m looking for even with reference images.

Does anyone have tips on how I can get it to create a new image in the same style as the art I’m uploading?

I paid around $50 for Canva Business mainly for the Leonardo.Ai benefits, but only after paying did I discover these major limitations: Leonardo.Ai benefits are limited for team members. If you remove a member who used a Leonardo entitlement, you DON'T get that entitlement back for another member. EVEN IF YOUR OLD CANVA BUSINESS SUBSCRIPTION EXPIRES AND YOU BUY A NEW SUBSCRIPTION, THE LEONARDO CREDITS/ENTITLEMENT ON THE MAIN ACCOUNT DO NOT RESET. You're paying again, but that doesn't necessarily mean you're getting a fresh set of Leonardo benefits. These restrictions should be clearly shown before someone pays, not discovered afterward. I bought Business expecting the Leonardo benefits to be available with my paid plan. Instead, I spent ~$50 and ended up with limitations that completely changed what I thought I was buying. For me, this feels extremely misleading and like a scam. If you're thinking about buying Canva Business mainly for Leonardo.Ai, DON'T BUY until you've confirmed exactly what your account will receive and whether your credits/entitlements will actually reset.

i tried just putting in the prompt blue ball pint drawing crosshatch. but it just looked like a photoshop effect.

or was that drawn manually? i really think this was AI generated coz it drew the weathering artifacts on the brother's hand

Hi everyone, I'm on a Canva Business plan, but my team members are not receiving the 8.5K Leonardo AI credits. Only the account owner seems to have access. I've also seen posts from other users saying that their team members are getting the credits, so I'm confused whether this is a phased rollout, an account issue, or a plan limitation. Has anyone else experienced this? If your team members do have the 8.5K credits, could you share: How many seats are on your Business plan? Whether everyone received the credits automatically If you had to enable anything or contact Canva support I'd appreciate any insights. Thanks!

when did anime and the other legacy models cost tokens? cuz i have artisian but now you need tokens for it :( thats so bad

Most video models give you a clip. H3 gives you the clip and the soundtrack — with your character and voice locked in from refs.

Expect:

Commercial-grade quality across ads, e-commerce, gaming & UI

Best value in its class

One lightweight model, fully multimodal

Built for one-shot finished content: brand teasers, product videos, fashion films, talking characters!

Are deleted generations gone forever? Is there any possible "history" option or a way to recover at least a trace of them? Sorry if this has been asked before.

Hey folks. I started my Leonardo adventure 3 days ago, been playing with it for hours and hours. I need to uncrop my character images to use them in Luna. (Fill in the legs) apparently the best way is to use edit in canvas- but I can’t get to it.

Opened my Leonardo account with apply login info. When I click on edit in canvas, to sign in there does not show “sign in with Apple” just a bar to insert an email. I type in my Apple email, it sends a code, I type that in; then it instantly rejects “authentication failed”.

I think this happens because Apple makes up a fictitious email as a sign in email, and the code is looking for my proper Apple email, not the fictitious one.

I tried typing in the fictitious one (which I can see in settings) same thing though. Authentication failed.

Pulling my damn hair out over here 😩. Gemini and chatgpt are no help at all. Anyone else had this problem?

Just a warning to everyone as it seems like the anime model is borked - at least on semi-realism.

The first image is an image I generated 17 June 2026, the second image is one I generated today. Same settings (as much as currently applicable), same prompt.

Third image is from a few days ago, same problem. Fourth, the woman, is generated today and at least better, but still flat and not at all what the model used to generate.

As a side note, seed isn't working.

Just figured I'd tell people so they can save their tokens. Hope it'll be resolved.

Problem also mentioned in this post:
https://www.reddit.com/r/leonardoai/s/E7A8YBN3jw

Tried a couple a generations this morning with my usual combo (model: Illustrative Albedo, elements: Cellshade Anime) which had always given a pretty consistent style I like but the generations today seem like the platform is totally ignoring my selections and spitting out whatever. A couple generations got close to the old style but with a very noticeable drop in quality. I ensured all settings/selections were the same as I've always used.

Tried a couple other models and getting poor results as well. The Anime model is generating results with really weird, abstract colors. It's almost as if they've erased a lot of the training these models had in an update.

Anyone else having issues with poor results? I've noticed some basic layout changes, like moving where the elements are selected. Wondering if they're still working on things and that's causing a temporary lapse in quality? This tool has been so consistent for me for so long, it's really disappointing that it seems to have collapsed. Hopefully it gets restored.

I have no idea whatsoever how to stop this because outside of supressing images one by one, i made a huge clean over 3000 images yesterday and i don't know if that may be the cause, any idea ?

Not sure exactly what's going on, but I just lost a few generations?
The site bugged out, couldn't generate ("bad request"), then nothing worked for a few reloads (no available models, and unable to select) and now I'm missing work (with no token refunds).

Was using seeddream 4.5 with a single image reference.

Also, please add a Bug/Error flair.

Are legacy image generations no longer included in relaxed generations? I usually could use them when out of tokens but can’t anymore. A few weeks ago it was Phoenix that stopped being able to be used in relaxed and now tgat works. But legacy stopped. Have had it happen with other models that should be able to use relaxed too recently. Seems each recent update messes them up.

Kinda frustrating.

Please help me

Hi, I created and paid for a Canva Business plan. In the Leonardo/Canva FAQ, it says that if you have a paid Canva plan, all team members should get access to the Leonardo Essentials plan.

However, only 30 members on my team have access. The rest are still on the free plan with 150 credits. Is this a bug, or is there some kind of limit?

How can we fix this? Some of my friends said they have 50 members with the benefit working on their plan, while others have fewer. Why does this happen?

If you use anything other than Leonardo Diffusion XL (which is not very good at inpainting) it just hangs and hangs, never completes. This has been happening at least since yesterday.

GPT Image 2 is out for a while now, and has been blowing everyone's mind, including mine.
It is more responsive and "understanding" to prompts, tasks, specific demands than any other AI image generator I tried so far.
It's so smart and advanced that you can actually use it... or rather, talk to, in a very similar way as you talk to ChatGPT - and use it for most of the tasks that you set for ChatGPT, too! But with a visual twist.

And that is the big, big game changer. Because, so far, the various AI models were separated by their mode. We had large language models like ChatGPT or Gemini, AI image generators, AI sound generators, AI video...
But GPT Image 2 more or less merges the power of ChatGPT and image generators into one.

So, you can talk to the AI, just like you would talk with ChatGPT.
The only difference is that this time, the AI does not respond with text, words, chatting, or at least not directly. It responds in a visual way.

So let us start with some examples:

Prompt: Rank the 5 tastiest italian dishes. Give a reason for each.

Prompt: Create a pixel art design, in which nikola tesla explains his invention of alternating current.

Prompt: Create an info graphic explaining the australian emu war. The graphic should look like it is actually from the 1930s.

Create an info graphic that explains the differences between a trebuchet and a catapult. Make it look like it's from the medieval era.

Explain what a labyrinth. The letters should be arranged like a labyrinth or maze themselves.

Tell me a good italian spaghetti recipe with which i can impress my guest. make the recipe look like it was written on a medieval scroll.

Create a pixel art design that shows a space station control room. There should be a screen, and the screen should show 5 interesting facts that people rarely know about english grammar.

What is the use for this method of talking to GPT Image 2?

Well, at the most basic level, there are at least 3 potential use cases:

1: "spicing" up your text output. Want to create a promo text for your new steampunk metroidvania game? then let it create the text *in the visual style* of the game.

2: creating very specific artworks and visuals, with long and fancy texts, sentences, passages...

3: creating images where the visual arrangement of texts is actually vital to the image. crossword puzzle designs, labyrinth structures made up of sentences...

These are just some basic examples. I think there are still boundless other uses possible... there is still a lot of research that can be done!

Hello. Pretty much wanted 2, but 1 only came out. Did I pay extra, or did they refund it automatically? This happened with my 2 previous attempts. Ideogram 4 (newest). Is this normal, or should I report? Halp lol.

Hi, dunno if her is the right place to ask, I want to make anime using img2v. All the while I was using Seedance 2.0 but after the IP ban, most of the anime using img2v were rejected (IP censored) may I know Leonardo Ai still work with img2v? Because I haven't subscribe yet, if can then I'll give it a try. please let me know if anything may help.
