A mysterious AI image generator known as Red Panda moved up the ranks in the Artificial Analysis Image Arena this weekconsolidating at the top of the charts. While we had 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 out… enter Recraft V3.
Recraft V3 is an artificial intelligence 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), the king of the rankings, Red Panda, was actually a new model on test and it looks like it could be one of the best out there.
Recraft V3 secured the #1 spot in Artificial analysis text to image model Leaderboard, a collaborative research tool that is created by giving users the ability to choose between images created with two different models and asking them which one they prefer.
The new model has a lot to offer, including improved imaging compared to the previous Recraft model. Recraft V3 is the first model of its kind to offer image generation of any size and text length. Recraft says: “This feature sets it apart from others: while very few models can offer similar capabilities, they still cannot match Recraft's ability to generate long text within an image.”
Anna Veronika Dorogush, founder and CEO of Recraft, says: “We don't want users to simply enter a message and see what comes out. Our goal is to help designers achieve the exact result they have in mind. Recraft gives users “We give designers improved control over their work, allowing them to deliver projects that perfectly align with their creative vision. We are committed to making Recraft the essential daily 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 how many times something wins or lose. The image generator has a 72% win rate, meaning users often choose the new model over its competitors. Recraft V3 topped the rankings, beating FLUX1.1 and Black Forest Labs. Halfway through the tripTechRadar's current pick for best AI image generator.
