Where this model earns its cost — and where it doesn't.
Released in April 2026, this model accepts text and image inputs to generate images at 1024×1024, 1024×1536, 1536×1024, or 2048×2048 resolutions. It features reasoning-augmented composition and supports low, medium, and high quality tiers, with medium as the default.
Kyma routes requests through an OpenAI-compatible endpoint using a single API key. The platform provides automatic failover if a serving path degrades, and every response returns the exact cost in the usage.cost field alongside an X-Kyma-Model header confirming the executed model. Prompt caching is supported, billing repeated prefixes at 10% of the standard input rate.
The model does not support structured outputs or reasoning capabilities. Generation speed is rated medium, and it operates strictly as an image-to-image or text-to-image generator without native text output capabilities.
Multilingual Typography Rendering
Generates accurate text overlays in multiple languages directly within generated images.
Photorealistic Scene Composition
Produces high-fidelity photographs and realistic environments from descriptive prompts.
Logo and Brand Asset Creation
Renders precise, logo-grade lettering and graphic elements suitable for branding workflows.
Reference Image Editing
Modifies existing images using text instructions while preserving core visual structure.
Not ideal for: Do not use this model if you require fast, low-latency generation, structured JSON outputs, or reasoning capabilities.
