In case you missed it, we teamed up with @tenstorrent and delivered realtime video. Video generated faster than it takes to play it! If you want to test it, sign up at the link the comments.

FLUX.2 [dev] vs. FLUX.2 [klein] 9B 4.5s at $12/1K vs 0.9s at $6/1K. 5x faster, half the price. For product catalogs and e-commerce thumbnails, that math compounds fast.

FLUX.2 [klein] 4B. 100ms. Near-instant. 4B parameters doing work that used to take much larger models seconds. Reflections, neon glow, atmospheric depth. Fraction of the compute.

Same prompt, 4 models. $3 to $80 per 1K gens. At 100K gens/month: klein 4B costs $300. Nano Banana 2 costs $8,000. Same prompt, massive cost gap.

FLUX.2 [flex] vs Nano Banana 2 12.7s at $60/1K vs 24.5s at $80/1K. Open source running 2x faster, 25% cheaper. The quality speaks for itself.

Product shot: Recraft V4 vs Seedream 5 Lite. Material rendering, lighting, composition. Both handle it, but reflections and textures differ noticeably. At e-commerce scale, these nuances show up in conversions.

4 video models, 1 prompt. Wan 2.2, P-Video, Seedance Lite, Seedance Pro Turbo. All different results. Motion, consistency, speed, cost. Each has a sweet spot. Run them side by side to find yours.

Wan 2.2 Lightning generating video. Open source video gen caught up faster than expected. Solid motion quality at a fraction of closed-source pricing.

Recraft V4 on text rendering. ~12s, $40/1K. If your product needs readable text in generated images (menus, signs, packaging), this is where Recraft shines.

you should've been there

FLUX.2 [flex] vs Nano Banana 2, final round. Across all five prompts: flex stays ahead on speed and cost. Optimized open source inference is pulling ahead.

Recraft V4 vs Seedream 5 Lite on a portrait. ~12s/$40 per 1K vs ~19s/$35 per 1K. Different approaches, different results. For user-facing portraits, these differences matter.

@prodialabs - the fastest image and video generation API, one call to the best models

Veo 3 Fast in action. Strong motion coherence from Google's video model. Closed-source pricing, but the quality shows what large training budgets produce.

FLUX.1 [schnell] vs. FLUX.2 [klein] 4B 300ms vs 100ms. Same prompt. Klein 4B is a generational leap in lightweight models. When your product needs real-time gen, this speed gap tells the story.

Amazing to see realtime video from @prodialabs @monty10x @mavady .

Recraft V4 vs. FLUX.2 [flex] on text rendering. Text in images is one of the hardest things to get right. Different architectures, similar speeds, different results. The right model depends on the use case.

FLUX.2 [klein] 9B. Product photography in under a second. $6/1K. Newer architectures aren't just faster for benchmarks. Cheaper per gen means high-volume image gen economics actually work.

Monet garden across 4 models. Artistic styles test aesthetic interpretation, not just photorealism. Each model brings different character. There's a trade-off to be had here in aesthetic flavour vs speed vs price, and that comes down to you and your use case.

FLUX.2 [max] vs Recraft V4 Pro

Food photography: Recraft V4 vs Seedream 5 Lite. Moisture, gloss, plating. Subtle lighting differences have outsized impact on food prompts. Which aesthetic fits your product?
