Ideogram 4.5 is live in Leonardo, and we're excited to be a launch partner 🎉 It's the most precise image editing model yet from @ideogram_ai, made for multi-step editing. Reposition products, swap palettes, translate labels, or reshoot at golden hour. What's working stays put, and the rest is yours to play with. Try it now on Leo.

Grok 4.5 was an incredible model for the price: fast, pleasant to use, reliable, solid default model. Grok 4.6 was a (forgivable) step in the wrong direction IMO: slower and more expensive, using way more tokens per task for a slight edge in intelligence. I get it, though. They have to climb benchmarks. Grok 4.7 is much harder to forgive. They claimed it would be more token-efficient, and it's less by 30 to 80%. It scores worse than Grok 4.6 in various benchmarks. It's slower, it's less pleasant to use, and real-world costs come out to more than 2x above Grok 4.6, putting it over Astra's costs in real-world use. Considering how much they've been hyping this model release up, I have to say I'm disappointed. The benchmarks don't tell the whole story, and it is pleasant to use in various real-world engineering tasks, but it feels so 2025 still. The frontend capabilities are unacceptably bad. The 3D capabilities are nonexistent. It gets stuck in random Gemini-style loops all the time. This was a very disappointing release. I hope that the SpaceXAI team can acknowledge that and impress us with the next one.
