list-rmbg-models

List Rembg Models

Displays available rembg models with descriptions of speed, quality, and best-use scenarios. Mostly a static reference; if available, also shows the output of rembg list-models.

When to use

• User is considering switching models via configure-rmbg
• User wants to understand the trade-offs (speed vs. quality) before trying a model

Inputs to gather

• None — this is a reference skill.

Procedure

1. Print the built-in model guide (see below).
2. Optionally, run rembg list-models (if available on PATH) and append its output.
3. Remind user that model is set in ~/.config/quick-rmbg/config.json and can be changed via configure-rmbg.

Output / side effects

• Displays a reference table and optional CLI output.
• No files modified.

Model reference

Model	Speed	Quality	Best for	Notes
u2net	Good	Good	General use	Default, balanced, well-tested
u2netp	Fast	Fair	Quick preview, mobile	Smaller/faster, slightly lower quality
u2net_human_seg	Good	Excellent	People, portraits	Specialized for human subjects
silueta	Good	Good	Alternative general	Similar to u2net, different training data
isnet-general-use	Slower	Excellent	High-quality general	Often best quality for varied subjects
birefnet-general	Slowest	Excellent	Best edges	Newer, slower, often best for fine details (hair, fur)

Safety / constraints

• Model selection is for preview/testing; user can revert to default in config if unhappy.
• Slower models require more GPU memory; CPU falls back gracefully.
