Comment on: Show HN: Ideogram 4.0 – open-weight 9.3B text-to-image model

Nice to see another locally hostable model! It’s going to take me a bit longer to add this model to the GenAI Showdown benchmark [1], since I’ll need to add a bit of customization so it produces highly optimized JSON-structured prompts.It might be worth noting that fal.ai [2] (a fairly popular router in the generative AI space) doesn’t really mention or emphasize the JSON-structured prompt format, and seems to suggest it works just as well with natural language. It might be worth reaching out to them, at least to clarify this point and make things a bit clearer.[1] - https://genai-showdown.specr.net[2] - https://fal.ai/ideogram-4
