A mysterious AI image generator known as The Red Panda climbed the ranks of the Artificial Analysis Image Arena this weekcementing themselves at the top of the charts. While we have no idea who developed Red Panda, or even what exactly it was, we now know who makes one of the best AI image generators and where you can try it… enter Recraft V3.
Recraft V3 is an AI tool for professional designers and its developer, also called Recraft, has just released its new image generation model “red_panda”. As we reported yesterday (October 29), chart king Red Panda was indeed a new model being tested, and it looks like it could be one of the best on the market.
Recraft V3 secured first place on Text-image model of artificial analysis Leaderboard, a crowdsourced search tool created by giving users a choice between images created using two different templates and asking them which one they prefer.
The new model has many advantages, including improved image generation compared to Recraft’s previous model. Recraft V3 is the first model of its kind to offer the generation of images of any size and text length. Recraft says: “This feature sets it apart from the rest – even though very few templates can offer similar functionality, they still can’t match Recraft’s ability to generate long texts in an image. »
Anna Veronika Dorogush, founder and CEO of Recraft, says: “We don’t just want users to type in a prompt and see what comes out. Our goal is to help designers achieve the exact result they want. Recraft gives designers greater control over their work, allowing them to deliver projects that perfectly match their creative vision. We are committed to making Recraft the essential everyday tool for every designer.
The king reveals himself
Recraft V3 participated in the artificial analysis test for four days and currently has an ELO of 1172. ELO is a skill-based system found in online gaming and chess, which compares performance based on the number of times something wins or loses. The image generator has an arena win rate of 72%, which means that users most often choose the new model over its competitors. Recraft V3 tops the rankings, beating FLUX1.1 and Black Forest Labs. HalfwayTechRadar’s current choice for best AI image generator.
