September model refresh

We're now carrying 120 models across image, video, audio and 3D. This month we refreshed the defaults and re-checked every price.

A new frontier model shows up roughly every fortnight. A catalog nobody curates is just a list, so every month or so we go through the whole thing: add what's new, retire what has been beaten, and re-check what each one costs us.

New and worth trying

Auto got smarter, not just bigger

More models only helps if the default choice is a good one. Auto now refuses to hand your prompt to a model that ignores reference images when you've actually attached references. It moves to one that can use them and tells you it did, instead of dropping them on the floor and leaving you to work out why the result looks nothing like your product.
Every model shows what it costs before it runs. The estimate in the composer, the number the agent asks you to approve, and the charge on the finished result all read from the same table, so they can't disagree with each other.
