Five models.
One routing layer.
GPT Image 2, Flux, Nano Banana Pro, Seedream, and Recraft V4 in active production. Each model owns a task class. The routing layer decides which model runs — no single model handles every brief.
Five models. Five task classes. Explicit routing for each.
Pick a task
BFL (Black Forest Labs)
Flux Kontext
- →Editorial portrait + character
- →Vehicle and hardware macro
- →Hex color precision
- →Multi-character reference support
Routing rule
Photoreal characters, editorial work, hex-accurate brand color renders.
Cost note
Mid-range — quality justifies cost for hero assets.
Gemini 3.1 Flash Image
Nano Banana Pro
- →Multi-character lifestyle scenes
- →Food, real estate, UI-in-context
- →Typography overlay support
- →14 aspect ratios incl. extreme formats
Routing rule
Multi-character lifestyle, food, product-in-scene, UI mockup contexts.
Cost note
Strong cost-quality ratio for complex multi-subject scenes.
ByteDance
Seedream 5 Pro
- →Typography poster (best in class)
- →4K native output
- →Abstract texture and pattern generation
- →Scandinavian interior / packaging text
Routing rule
Typography, packaging, abstract texture batches. Cheapest top-tier at 2K ($0.03/image).
Cost note
$0.03 at 2K — lowest cost per high-quality asset in the stack.
OpenAI
GPT Image 2
- →Drone / POV and aerial photography
- →Action and motion sequences
- →General-purpose workhorse — highest volume model in the stack
- →Clean 4K product stills
Routing rule
Default first choice for most briefs. Drone shots, action, general character and product work.
Cost note
Highest call volume of any model in production — the default workhorse.
Recraft (V4 only — V3 permanently retired)
Recraft V4
- →True vector output
- →Illustration and icon generation
- →Pattern and infographic production
- →4 SKUs from $0.04 to $0.30
Routing rule
All vector, illustration, icon, pattern, and infographic work. Never photoreal.
Cost note
Pro tier $0.25/image. Worth it — only model with true vector.
