🎨 2,483 images · 12 / 22 industries · live

Real industry imagery. SDXL fallback. Filecoin-mirrored.

DCS Image Bank is the curated R2 bucket that every Platform build pulls from when a stock photo would be cheaper than a generated one — backed by a three-step SDXL fallback chain. 2,483 images, 12 verticals shipped, expanding to 22, with the full catalogue mirrored to Filecoin.

SDXL fallback chain

Three steps to a real image

Pre-built bucket first — own-GPU SDXL when the bucket misses — Replicate as the final fallback. AI_IMAGES_ENABLED gates the whole chain.

📁

1. Prebuilt R2 bucket 2,483 curated images across 12 verticals — served from images.dcsai.ai

→

🖥

2. Own-GPU SDXL Stable Diffusion XL on the DCS RunPod fleet — matches the bucket's style

→

🌐

3. Replicate fallback Hosted SDXL when own-GPU is saturated — same prompt, different metering

The bucket handles ~80% of requests today; SDXL covers ~18%; Replicate ~2%. Behind the AI_IMAGES_ENABLED flag — per-tenant rollout.

Total today: 2,483 images across 12 industries. Target: 30,000-50,000 images across all 22 by end of 2026.

Filecoin permanence

Every image mirrored. Every license traceable.

The entire bank, the image-bank-manifest.json and every generated SDXL image used in a published site are auto-pinned to Filecoin through Storage. The CID for any image is a stable, verifiable handle — survives DCS, survives Cloudflare, survives the brand.

Auto-pin on publish — via Storage's Compute artifact hook
image-bank-manifest.json committed to the repo with every release
Per-image SHA-256 + CID in the manifest — tamper-evident
S3-compatible read URLs at images.dcsai.ai

One call. Stock or generated. Same surface.

The Platform pulls from the bank by vertical + tag; falls through to own-GPU SDXL when there's no acceptable match; the response carries the source (bucket / SDXL / Replicate) and a signed receipt.

Pull by vertical + section + tag
Falls through to SDXL with a matched-style prompt
Returns source · CID · receipt on every call

Honest status

What ships, what's queued

Live: 2,483 images on Cloudflare R2 (dcs-image-bank bucket → images.dcsai.ai), 12 verticals covered. Used in production by the Platform's build pipeline. SDXL fallback chain is wired and gated by AI_IMAGES_ENABLED.

Queued: 10 more verticals (Dental, Fashion, Accounting, Hotels, Car Rental, Marketing, Construction, Photography, Consulting, Automotive). 3-staff Grok image workflow lined up for ~2,920 images / ~5 days. industry-image-seeds.ts wiring lands as each vertical drops.

Target: 30,000-50,000 images across all 22 verticals by end of 2026 — honest target, not a guarantee. Compounded by SDXL-on-demand for long-tail prompts.

FAQ

Image Bank questions

Are these real photos or AI-generated?

A curated mix. The pre-built bucket is mostly licensed photography; SDXL fills the gaps for vertical-specific shots. Every image carries a source tag (bucket / sdxl / replicate) on the API response.

What about licensing?

Bucket images are licensed for DCS-built site use; the manifest carries the license string per-image. SDXL-generated images are output of your prompt and owned by your tenant under the terms of use. Sovereign mode runs your own bucket + your own SDXL.

How do I add a vertical?

Two paths: contribute curated images to the bucket via the partner workflow, or supply a seed prompt set to industry-image-seeds.ts and the own-GPU SDXL fleet drafts the first 100. Either way the manifest gets updated and re-pinned.

What's the CID for?

The Filecoin content-addressed identifier. Means anyone can pull the exact bytes from any Filecoin gateway, independent of DCS. The receipt chain binds the CID to the build that used it.

Can I use the bank without DCS Platform?

Yes — the API is callable with an API key (imageBank.get(...)). Per-call metering applies; fair-use limits per plan.

What if I need a specific shot the bank doesn't have?

The own-GPU SDXL covers most of the long tail. If SDXL doesn't get it right, Replicate's fallback can run an alternative model on the same prompt — the response tells you which path won.

How does this compose with Sovereign?

In a Sovereign pod, the bank is your own R2-equivalent bucket, the SDXL fleet is your own GPU, and the Replicate fallback is disabled by default (no egress). The API surface stays the same.
