How this page ranks
- No shared score covers this job yet, so this page ranks nothing. Every model in the job is listed below with the reason.
- A model counts for this job when its taxonomy v2 classification names design and images, or its old category maps to it.
- Each model must list image output on OpenRouter or on its own record.
- Prices and scores come from the market tables only, each with the day it is for. The price on a model's own record is not used.
- Missing data never ranks. A model with no confirmed score in the last 30 days or unknown inputs and outputs is listed apart, with the reason. Price is shown when one is confirmed, and is not needed to rank.
Market data as of 10 Nov 2026. Prices: OpenRouter models API (official).
