## Finding Models

To discover the best and latest image restoration models, use the search API:

```bash
# Search for restoration models
bash /mnt/skills/user/fal-generate/scripts/search-models.sh --query "restore"
bash /mnt/skills/user/fal-generate/scripts/search-models.sh --query "deblur"
bash /mnt/skills/user/fal-generate/scripts/search-models.sh --query "denoise"
bash /mnt/skills/user/fal-generate/scripts/search-models.sh --query "face restoration"
bash /mnt/skills/user/fal-generate/scripts/search-models.sh --query "document"
```

Or use the `search_models` MCP tool with keywords like "restore", "deblur", "denoise", "face fix", "document".
