Still far too expensive.

At this point, I'm much more interested in seeing releases for models chasing down prices on "good enough" to unlock new use-cases than I am SOTA.

I've been using Grok Imagine V1 in prod for months now as its quality for my use-case is already more than enough.

Should probably mention this as a root comment, but various local image gen models like fooocus [1] run on basically any remotely modern hardware, have phenomenal output quality, and cost basically nothing.

I think companies trying to sell image gen at this point are just banking on ignorance.
