What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-08-20

Adopt with guardrails

Why
Frontier-grade quality with strong multi-reference consistency and a commercial API at low per-megapixel cost is directly useful for brand/reel assets; the open-weight path is real but currently hardware- and license-constrained, so the managed API is the low-risk entry.
Next
Pilot FLUX.2 [pro] API (~$0.03 first output MP, then $0.015/MP; up to 4MP) for product-shot + multi-reference consistency jobs; A/B against current Imagen/Gemini path; keep Ideogram in the loop for heavy-text creatives. Defer self-hosted [dev] until a >=48GB GPU or the Apache [klein] build lands.
