Three frontier models, billed per image

Recraft, GPT-5.4 Image 2, and Gemini 3 Pro Image. Pick this tier when the brief needs legible text, multi-subject contrast, or precise typography. Each tile is a separate API call at retail rates. The trio runs in parallel, so wall time is the slowest model.

Models: 3 of 3 rendered
Cost: $0.89 per article
Wall time: 3m 21s
Strength: text, signage, complex scenes

Two open models, on a laptop or a VPS, $0.00 per image

Flux Krea dev and FLUX.2 Klein 9B running through mflux. Run on the editor's own Apple Silicon Mac, or on a self-hosted VPS. Sonnet rewrites the brief to fit local capability: single-subject editorial photography, evidence over legible text, photoreal mood. Slower than cloud per article, free at scale, and the editor keeps the keys.

Local briefReworked for Flux Krea + FLUX.2 Klein. Text-free, single-subject, photo-forward.

ConceptA journalist's worn notebook and a press conference lanyard rest directly against a laptop trackpad edge — analog credibility and digital authority sharing the same surface, neither subordinate to the other

SceneClose-up overhead flat-lay on a dark slate desk: a well-worn reporter's spiral notebook open to a page of handwritten notes in the right-center, a press lanyard with a blank badge coiled beside it, and the lower-left corner of a laptop keyboard and trackpad entering the frame — the screen implied but not shown. A single printed page with a highlighted paragraph sits partially beneath the notebook, its byline area face-up but unreadable. No text legible anywhere.
