Specifications

Provider-documented facts. “Not collected” means we have not verified that field yet, not that the feature is unsupported.

Context / input limit
Not collected
Maximum output

Input modalities

Reasoning
Not collected
Tool calling
Not collected

An MCP server can expose the image service to external agents; that is not native model function calling.

Structured output
Not collected

SVG images and JSON response envelopes do not establish schema-constrained text output.

Streaming
Not collected

Multipart image bytes remove a second download; that alone does not verify progressive generation streaming.

Batch processing
Not collected

Multiple images per generation request are documented; a separate Batch API is not verified.

Fine-tuning
Not collected

Custom reference styles do not require training; a model fine-tuning service has not been verified.

Knowledge cutoff
Not collected
Release date
September 2026Source for Release date (opens in a new tab)

The source specifies a month, not an exact release day.

Context caching
Not collected

Style reuse is documented, but inference caching and cache rates have not been verified.

Access & pricing

Prices belong to an endpoint and billing tier. A provider listing does not guarantee access for every account or region.

Recraft

API model ID
recraftv4_1_flash
Access
Documented REST API. Account, bearer API token and a positive prepaid API-unit balance required; no paid generation was performed during review.

Data & enterprise terms

The API policy states inputs and outputs are not used for training. Generated download URLs are retained for about 24 hours according to the API limits guide; the broader no-storage wording must not be interpreted as a verified zero-retention guarantee.

Caching

Caching can reuse earlier input processing. Availability, lifetime and billing depend on the endpoint. A cache hit still generates a new response.

01 / INITIAL INPUTProcess & retain

The system processes eligible input and retains reusable state.

02 / LATER REQUESTCheck available state

Reuse depends on matching input, session state and the cache policy.

03 / CACHE HITReuse & generate

Reusing state can reduce repeated work. Any charges follow the billing rules below.

Recraft

recraftv4_1_flash
Not verified

Reusable styles and temporary output URLs do not establish inference-cache support.

What the measurements say

No benchmark observations have been added for this model. We do not turn a vendor description into a performance score.

Latency and throughput depend on the host, request size, reasoning settings and load. There is no measured speed or global usage figure in this record.

The record behind the model

Why it is included

The developer terms explicitly identify Recraft API models as proprietary, reserve underlying model rights and grant limited API access. The reviewed native model catalog ties this exact selector to that service.
