NightCafe is hosting a free Model Comparison Workshop on Wednesday, 30 September 2026. Cassandra, NightCafe's Community Manager, will compare newer NightCafe image models live so you can see the differences for yourself.

The workshop is about one hour and streams on YouTube and Facebook at the same time. You do not need a ticket or a PRO subscription to watch. After the stream ends, the same links work for the replay.

Landing page with countdown and stream buttons: creator.nightcafe.studio/live-workshop.

When it is

• Date: Wednesday, 30 September 2026
• Start: 12:00 p.m. Pacific (PDT) / 7:00 p.m. UTC
• Duration: about 60 minutes
• Where: YouTube and Facebook (live, then replay)

The landing page also shows the start time in your local timezone once it loads.

How to watch

• YouTube: youtube.com/live/gu9xaFBAyxs
• Facebook: facebook.com/share/1DYQmNM8CF
• Or open the live workshop page and use the Watch on YouTube / Watch on Facebook buttons.

You may also see a campaign banner on Explore, and a site-wide header alert when the workshop is about to start or is live. Those are shortcuts to the same page and stream links.

What the workshop covers

• Side-by-side comparisons of newer NightCafe image models
• What each model does well, and when to reach for which one
• A tour of some of NightCafe's latest platform updates
• Live demos so you can see differences in real time
• Q&A — bring a prompt or idea you have wanted to try, or just watch and ask questions

This is a good fit if you are choosing a model for your next image and want to see the options compared, rather than reading a list. For a written overview of the current lineup, credits, and recommendations, see NightCafe AI Models Guide: Choosing the Right Model.

Do I need an account or PRO?

No. Watching the stream on YouTube or Facebook is free and does not require a NightCafe account. If you want to try the models yourself during or after the workshop, sign in at Studio. Some of the newer models discussed will be PRO models; the written models guide explains which ones need PRO and roughly how many credits they cost.

After the live stream

When the workshop ends, the landing page still points to YouTube and Facebook so you can catch the replay. The stream links above stay valid for the recording.
