Recraft, a stealth startup, has developed an AI image model that outperformed OpenAI's DALL-E and Midjourney on a key industry benchmark. This achievement has enabled Recraft to secure $30 million in funding.
While details about the model's architecture and training data remain scarce, its success indicates a significant advancement in AI image generation. The benchmark results suggest Recraft's model excels in areas where DALL-E and Midjourney have limitations, potentially offering greater control and quality in image creation.
The funding will likely be used to further develop the model, expand the team, and explore commercial applications. Recraft's emergence as a strong competitor could drive further innovation and competition in the rapidly evolving AI image generation market.
