$0.108 / imageWhen to use Ideogram V3
Where this model earns its cost — and where it doesn't.
Ideogram V3 is a text-to-image model from Ideogram that specializes in generating legible, correctly spelled text within images. It accepts text prompts and outputs raster images, making it a focused tool for typographic design tasks.
On Kyma, the model runs through an OpenAI-compatible endpoint with a single API key. It supports prompt caching, which bills repeated prompt prefixes at 10% of the input rate, and includes automatic request failover. Exact costs are returned in the usage.cost field, and the X-Kyma-Model header reports the active model.
The model does not support image input, reasoning traces, or structured JSON outputs. It operates at a medium speed tier and is billed per image at a premium cost level.
