做图像生成或设计工具的开发者终于有了一个开源的高质量选择——Ideogram 4.0 的文本渲染和布局控制能力突出，且开放权重意味着可以本地部署和二次开发，值得关注。
Ideogram 4.0 是 Ideogram 首个开放权重的模型，在开放权重文生图排行榜上位列第8。该模型支持 2K×2K 分辨率输出，具备强文本渲染、边界框布局控制和透明背景生成能力。它使用结构化 JSON 提示词来指定构图和场景元素，并通过提示词增强器将自然语言转换为结构化格式。在 API 方面，提供 Turbo、Default 和 Quality 三个档次，价格从每千张 30 美元到 100 美元不等。权重可免费下载用于评估和非商业用途，商业自托管需单独授权。

Ideogram 4.0 is Ideogram’s first open weights release and debuts at #8 on our Open Weights Text to Image Leaderboard
Ideogram 4.0 is the latest release from @ideogram_ai. Alongside their first party API, Ideogram is releasing 4.0 with open weights and a commercial license.
The model generates 2K x 2K outputs (~4MP), with strong text rendering across languages, bounding box layout control, and transparent backgrounds. Ideogram 4.0 uses structured JSON prompts that specify composition and individual scene elements, with a prompt enhancer that expands natural language prompts into this structured format. Note that the prompt enhancer is only available via the Ideogram proprietary API, though it is free to use.
We benchmarked the Quality tier of the model served via Ideogram's API, where it ranks #8 in Open Weights Text to Image, and #31 in Text to Image. It places ahead of closed source models including Seedream 3.0 and Luma UNI 1.
While Ideogram 4.0 places near the top of our design, layout, and text rendering categories, it ranks further down overall on a balanced benchmark across all use cases including cartoon, anime, and photorealism. The model also has a more stylized look, which typically means it performs less favorably on our benchmarks. Ideogram states the open weights model accessible to the public is essentially the same model with additional safety training and quantization, so we expect a small quality difference.
Ideogram 4.0 is available across three API tiers: Turbo at $30/1k images, Default at $60/1k images, and Quality at $100/1k images. The weights are free to download for evaluation and non-commercial use, with commercial self-hosting requiring a separate license.
Congratulations to @ideogram_ai on the launch!
