LongCat | [text-to-image]

LongCat Image delivers photorealistic multilingual text rendering at $0.13 per megapixel through a 6B parameter architecture optimized for deployment efficiency. Trading raw parameter count for inference speed and cost predictability, it handles complex text overlays and multi-language prompts without the computational overhead of 12B+ competitors. Built for production teams needing reliable text integration in generated images at scale.

Use Cases: Multilingual marketing assets | Text-heavy social content | Localized product visualization


Performance That Scales

LongCat Image's per-megapixel pricing model provides cost predictability for variable resolution workflows, with generation costs scaling linearly from $0.13/MP at standard resolutions.

Multilingual Text Rendering Without Prompt Engineering

LongCat Image handles text integration natively through its 6B parameter architecture trained specifically for multilingual character rendering. Where standard diffusion models require careful prompt structuring or post-processing for text overlays, this model interprets text placement and styling directly from natural language descriptions.

What this means for you:

  • Direct text specification: Generate images with accurate Chinese, Arabic, Cyrillic, or Latin text without external tools, describe the text content and placement in your prompt and the model renders it correctly
  • Photorealistic integration: Text appears naturally integrated with lighting, perspective, and surface properties rather than as overlaid elements, 6B parameters dedicated to understanding spatial relationships between text and scene geometry
  • Configurable quality-speed tradeoff: Adjust inference steps from 1-50 and guidance scale from 1-20 to balance rendering fidelity against generation time, lower steps for rapid iteration, higher for final production assets
  • Batch efficiency: Generate up to 4 variations simultaneously with shared inference overhead, reducing per-image cost for A/B testing or multi-market campaigns
