Google launched Imagen 4, a text-to-image model offering improved text rendering. A premium version, Imagen 4 Ultra, provides more precise image generation for a higher cost. Both are available via the Gemini API and limited free testing in Google AI Studio. While producing high-quality images following prompts accurately, Imagen 4 faces competition from Dall-E 3 and Midjourney 7, and the public's enthusiasm for AI art appears to be waning.
