The Fast Hours take
Rory's clearest verdict on Ideogram is that its polish is the problem: after getting early access he called it too coherent and 'sterile,' with 'no risk' next to Midjourney's 'full send on every prompt' (Ep. 35). He says he doesn't personally use it even though it's a common choice for on-image text (Ep. 31), and later tests found its face-consistency model locks the face but not the outfit (Ep. 47) — though it did generate fast in a multi-model Weavy fan-out test (Ep. 53).

Receipts about Ideogram
“That was my feedback. There's no risk. It doesn't take any risk. Mid-journey is all risk. That's why it's great. Mid-journey is full send on every prompt. You never know what you're going to get, which is great.”
