About
Ideogram's first open-weight image model, a 9.3B-parameter flow-matching Diffusion Transformer released in June 2026. It uses Qwen3-VL-8B as its text encoder, supports structured JSON prompts with bounding-box layout control, and offers Turbo, Default, and Quality rendering-speed tiers through the Ideogram API. Local inference supports 256-2048px outputs at aspect ratios up to 6:1 under a non-commercial license.
