Google’s latest leap in image generation, Imagen 4, promises not just stunning visuals but also a surprising proficiency in spelling. The tech giant is highlighting the model’s “stunning quality” coupled with “superior typography,” addressing a common pain point for AI-generated images. This advancement unlocks new possibilities for creating realistic and detailed visuals, especially in applications requiring legible text like greeting cards, posters, and even comics.

Imagen 4 will be integrated across Google’s ecosystem, including the Gemini app, Whisk, Vertex AI, and Workspace applications like Slides, Vids, and Docs. Users can expect to leverage its improved text rendering capabilities in various creative projects. Google also teased a significantly faster version of Imagen 4, boasting speeds up to ten times quicker than its predecessor, Imagen 3, hinting at a future where high-quality, text-rich AI imagery can be generated with unprecedented efficiency.
