list-rmbg-models

name	list-rmbg-models
description	Use when the user wants to know which rembg models are available and which to pick for their use case.

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.
