The company claims its image generation model specializes in photorealistic rendering and operates with fewer restrictions than competitors, allowing users to create images using public figures and copyrighted material.
This expansion could signal increased competition in the consumer AI app market, particularly in the relatively unrestricted approach to image generation capabilities.
