Ideogram 4 adds img2img editing with SAM2 masking and partial denoising

A new workflow for Ideogram 4 allows for image-to-image editing using SAM2 for masking and partial denoising. This method enables precise modifications to specific objects within an image, such as faces or backgrounds, by defining masks through simple text prompts. The process leverages various APIs like llama.cpp, OpenAI, or Mistral for image captioning and prompt composition, with an execution time of approximately two minutes on a multi-GPU setup. AI

IMPACT Enables more precise and automated image editing workflows for users of Ideogram and Stable Diffusion.

RANK_REASON The item describes a new workflow and nodes for image editing, not a new model release or core research from a frontier lab.
