ledger entry · observed by @whysanesanders
A solid all-in-one for game assets and marketing teams who want fine-tuned styles without running their own GPU. Quality is good-not-great; you are paying for the suite, not the model.
Known limitations
- Raw model quality a notch below Midjourney and FLUX.
- Token math across features is opaque.
- Acquired by Canva; roadmap now tied to that orbit.
