5.0

Recraft speeds up its own Flash model while adding MiniMax image and video.

◆ Current state

Recraft is an AI image and design studio that runs its own V4.1 models alongside third-party image and video models. November brought Logo Maker, GPT Image 2.6, an API Portal, prompt-free Vary, Gemini Omni Flash 1.2 and Vectorizer Pro. On 12 and 13 November it added four MiniMax H3 image and video models and replaced its V4.1 Flash with Flash V2, which renders text and photo-like images better at 1.1 seconds per image for the same price.

◆ Where it's heading

Recraft is running two tracks at once: improving its own fast model so it stays the default for everyday work, and adding outside models almost weekly so users do not leave for them. Video is becoming a regular part of that lineup.

◆ Prediction

Expect more third-party video models and further V4.1 point updates, likely a quality update to the standard V4.1 model after Flash V2.
