GPT Image 2 Medium
OpenAI's GPT Image 2 at the medium quality tier. Combines top-of-the-leaderboard prompt adherence on Artificial Analysis with the strongest typography rendering of any image model — exact text in quotes, complex layouts, and packaging mockups all just work. The default choice for production marketing creative when GPT Image 2 High's premium pricing isn't justified.
Flux Schnell
Black Forest Labs' fastest, lowest-cost Flux variant. Built for rapid prototyping, moodboards, and high-volume batch generation where speed and credit cost matter more than raw fidelity. Open-weight and well-supported in the community, with extensive prompt-pattern documentation accumulated since the original Flux release.
Z-Image Turbo
A fast 6B-parameter text-to-image model from the Z-Image lineup with surprisingly strong photorealism for its size. Built for high-volume iteration where credit cost and speed matter — moodboards, social variants, exploration before stepping up to a flagship. Open-weight and competitive at this budget tier.
