What this section covers
Image models have crossed the usefulness line. Generating marketing assets, in-app illustrations, reference material, and stylized UI elements is now a normal step in shipping a product, not a side quest. This section covers the leading image-generation systems developers actually reach for — DALL·E from OpenAI, Stable Diffusion and its ecosystem, Black Forest Labs' Flux family, Recraft for design-aware output, Ideogram for legible in-image text, and Luma's Photon for photorealistic work. You'll also find Fal, a popular inference host for running these open models at speed via API. If you're deciding which model to call from your backend, which to self-host, or which handles your specific use case (text-in-image, product photography, brand-consistent illustration) without constant rerolling, this is the shelf. It's aimed at developers integrating image generation as a feature, not casual prompters playing with free tiers.
