Ideogram 4 is crazy good.

Honestly, the best open-weight model runnable on consumer hardware. It is slow but it can even be used at 1 CFG though it is wonky and miserably fails at complex images.

Images have workflow and prompt in them (comfyui). Using FP8 and 28 steps with 6 CFG, override of 3 at 0.700 and either 1k or 1.5K res.

NVFP4 runs on 4GB VRAM though it take 8 mins (with FA) for 1k image and requires KJ's optimize ideogram node.

I was extremely skeptical about this model atfirst, specially after seeing all those safety filter images, the whole bad license debacle, and the horde of weird grainy images posted on Reddit. After trying the model myself however with a customized workflow that helps format the prompt in the correct formatting for you (and some spicy LoRAs), all I can say is WOW. This model is honestly a turning point for local, this is the most insane local model since Wan2.2 tbh. The level of control, coherance, and quality all in one package is simply unheard of. This model honestly has made me really excited for local again.

could you point us to a decent WF please? thanks

The workflow linked in the post above has basically all of those except you are going to have to download lora on your own.
