• Designed to handle complex visual scenes, compositions, and lighting conditions.

2. Natively Multimodal Architecture

• Can understand and reason over both text and images as inputs.
• Ideal for workflows like:
  • Editing based on reference images
  • Expanding sketches or mockups
  • Visual concept development

3. Flexible Output Resolutions & Quality Levels

• Supports multiple resolutions, including:
  • 1024x1024
  • 1024x1536
  • 1536x1024
• Offers three quality tiers (Low, Medium, High) to optimize for:
  • Cost efficiency
  • Speed
  • Maximum detail

4. Multiple Pricing Models

• Pay-per-token for multimodal input:
  • Text input tokens
  • Image input tokens
• Pay-per-image generation for final output:
  • Low, Medium, and High quality tiers
• Enables businesses to balance cost and output needs.

5. Broad Use Cases

• Product photography and marketing assets
• Illustration, concept art, and creative ideation
• UX/UI mockups
• Style-guided image creation
• Generating reference images for design or storytelling
