Ideogram V3 - Kyma API

Overview

Ideogram V3 is a text-to-image model from Ideogram that specializes in generating legible, correctly spelled text within images. It accepts text prompts and outputs raster images, making it a focused tool for typographic design tasks. On Kyma, the model runs through an OpenAI-compatible endpoint with a single API key. It does not support prompt caching, and it includes automatic request failover. Exact costs are returned in the usage.cost field, and the X-Kyma-Model header reports the active model. The model does not support image input, reasoning traces, or structured JSON outputs. It operates at a medium speed tier and is billed per image at a premium cost level.
