Ming Image Design Layer: split a flat design into layers you can rebuild

How to plan the layers, inspect the transparency, and rebuild the design from the PNGs.

The short version

Ming-Image-0.1-Design-Layer is a 6-billion-parameter model from inclusionAI. You give it a flat design image plus a layer plan (or just a layer count), and it returns separate transparent RGBA PNGs, one per layer. It's MIT licensed. The tested setup is one CUDA GPU with 80 GiB of memory, so I'd try the demo first, then plan the layers, inspect the transparency and rebuild the design from the PNGs. I've read the model card and the repo; I haven't run it locally.
