Model overview
We introduce **LongCat-Image**, a pioneering open-source and bilingual (Chinese-English) foundation model for image generation, designed to address core challenges in multilingual text rendering, photorealism, deployment efficiency, and developer accessibility prevalent in current leading models. > [!TIP] > Leveraging a stronger LLM for prompt refinement can further enhance image generation quality. Please refer to inference_t2i.py for detailed usage instructions. > [!CAUTION] > **📝 Special Handling for Text Rendering** > > For both Text-to-Image and Image Editing tasks involving text generation, **you must enclose the target text within single or double quotation marks** (both English '...' / "..." and Chinese ‘...’ / “...” styles are supported). > > **Reasoning:** The model utilizes a specialized **character-level encoding** strategy specifically for quoted content. Failure to use explicit quotation marks prevents this mechanism from triggering, which will severely compromise the text rendering capability.

Do open weights permit free commercial use?
Not necessarily. Check the version license, commercial conditions and usage policies. Self-hosting incurs compute and maintenance costs.
Are these real-time billing prices?
These are timestamped source snapshots, not live billing prices. Check the channel for current versions, regions, discounts and billing methods.
