Summary

At $0.10 per image it is expensive; a typical image model costs $0.06.

New in Ideogram 4.5 is the focus on precise editing. Its model page shows color changes, text modification, product photography, architecture, and reframing, while details stay stable across multiple edit turns.

The API addresses the model as ideogram-4-5. Precise Edit preserves untouched pixels, supports masks, and accepts up to four reference images. Ideogram publishes no model weights, so access remains limited to the web product and API.

Image samples from our tests

These images come from documented single requests with an archived prompt. They complement measurements but do not replace a controlled laboratory test.

Independent evaluation. Fuser reused its Ideogram-generated High poster (864 × 1,152) as the source and sent both models the same date-change prompt. Ideogram 4.5 used Edit Precision High at Medium quality in one edit turn. The evaluator compared output pixels with the source.

Single edit only, using an image generated by Ideogram itself. This does not establish general edit quality or repeatability.

Methodology
Independent evaluation. Exact fal.ai route ideogram/v4.5/edit, high edit precision, Medium quality. One sequential chain of eight same-prompts edits on a portrait image; each edit used the prior result. The starting image came from GPT Image 2, outside the comparison. The reported 96% is the median across the eight steps, not eight independent chains.
Context
One chain per scene; two scenes total. No independent sample count or confidence interval is reported; the source explicitly says this is not a statistical benchmark.

Original wording

AA reports 1,013 Elo for Ideogram 4.5 (High), but the provider does not establish that High is interchangeable with the bare profile. The value is not transferred.

Not found in the inspected sources

ideogram-4-5-unqualified-text-to-image-score

Note

No exact unqualified text-to-image row was found. The AA Ideogram 4.5 (High) serving mode is not mapped to the unqualified profile.

Not published

immutable-serving-revision

Note

Neither evaluator publishes an immutable provider serving/checkpoint revision or full generation controls for its named route; the recorded cells are limited to each exact public leaderboard label and snapshot.

Unresolved

Generalizable multi-turn editing quality

Note

Morphed explicitly calls the work a two-scene test, not a statistical benchmark; each scene used one chain of eight sequential edits. No independent N or confidence interval is given.

Reproducibility attachments and exact endpoint revision

Note

The article links prompts, settings, and per-step data, but those files were not opened within the page limit. The exact served checkpoint/revision is not established by the article text.
