94 in the catalogue today. Every one with what it costs, who sells it and where it stands.

Models that make pictures from a description, and increasingly edit the ones you give them. Priced per image, sometimes by resolution, so the rate card reads nothing like a language model's. Beyond the look of the output, the practical differences are whether it can render legible text, whether it will edit rather than regenerate, and what the licence says about selling what comes out.

Models whose weights are not published and which are bought through somebody's API. You get the maker's infrastructure, their scale and their uptime, and no way to run the thing yourself or to keep it if it is withdrawn. Most of the strongest models are here, so this is less a choice than a fact about the market; the choice is which seller you buy the same model from, and the catalogue holds their prices side by side.
