Flux
Image models noted for prompt adherence and legible text in images.
Flux from Black Forest Labs is known for following prompts closely rather than imposing a house style, and for rendering text inside images more reliably than most alternatives. Available both as open weights and through hosted APIs.
Our take
Pick this when the prompt describes something specific that must come out right. If you want a striking image and do not mind the model's own taste, Midjourney is easier.
