Ideogram 4.0
ideogram/ideogram-4.0
Ideogram 4.0 is an open-weight text-to-image model from Ideogram AI, released June 3, 2026 as a 9.3B-parameter diffusion transformer with weights published under Apache 2.0. It supports structured JSON prompting with bounding-box layout and hex color control, native 2K output, and an Ideogram Character feature for subject consistency from one reference photo. It continues Ideogram's focus on text rendering, scoring 0.97 OCR accuracy on X-Omni and 0.69 mIoU on 7Bench for layout control. In Ideogram's designer-preference evaluation (4,366 votes across 9 models), it scored an ELO of 1062, second overall behind GPT Image 2 and first among open-weight models, ahead of larger models like Qwen-Image (20B) and HunyuanImage 3.0 (80B MoE). API pricing runs $0.03-$0.10 per image by quality tier, with Style Reference (up to three images), Remix, Edit, and Reframe support. It suits developers building advertising, branding, packaging, and product-photography pipelines needing typography and layout control.
ImageIdeogram 3.0
ideogram/ideogram-3.0
Ideogram 3.0 is a text-to-image generation model from Ideogram AI, built by a team of ex-Google engineers and launched in March 2025. It specializes in photorealistic image generation with industry-leading text rendering — producing accurate, stylized typography within images that competing models like Midjourney and DALL-E 3 struggle to match. The model excels at graphic design tasks including posters, logos, marketing visuals, and layouts with complex or lengthy text compositions. It also supports Style References, allowing up to three reference images to guide output aesthetics for consistent branding across batches. In human evaluations, Ideogram 3.0 achieved the highest ELO ratings against other text-to-image models across diverse prompts covering varied subjects, styles, and composition difficulty. It's a strong fit for developers building design, advertising, or content-generation pipelines where typographic accuracy and prompt adherence are critical.
