Strengths

✓
Text that reads correctly

Headlines, labels, and logos come out spelled right, a long-standing weak spot for image models.

✓
23 aspect ratios

From 1:1 and 16:9 to banner shapes like 3:1, 22:9, and 9:23.

✓
Image reference

Send an image in `imageData` and set its influence with `image_weight` in `options.params`.

✓
Speed control

`rendering_speed` in `options.params` trades speed for detail; every image is $0.12.
