Canva推出自研图像模型Craft,Ideogram为可编辑设计文件定价最高32美分

10月22日,Ideogram和Canva为同一项任务各自推出一款模型,正面对垒。AI辅助设计的每一档产出从此有了公开标价:一张图1美分,一次编辑6美分,一个设计师可以真正拥有的文件最高32美分。买家赢在价格;那些曾经租用模型的平台,如今开始自己造模型。

Canva联合创始人兼首席执行官梅拉妮·珀金斯,她执掌的公司于10月22日发布了首款自研图像模型Craft。

两次发布瞄准同一任务,前后只差几个小时

Ideogram是一家总部位于多伦多的图像模型初创公司,由Mohammad Norouzi联合创立。10月22日,该公司发布Vector 1.0,这是其首款输出可编辑SVG设计文件、而非压平像素图的模型1。生成一个设计的费用为0.13美元至0.32美元,转换一张已有图片收费0.10美元;生成的文件能在Adobe−2.83% — Adobe, down 2.83 percent today Illustrator和Figma+1.99% — Figma, up 1.99 percent today里打开,每个形状、每种颜色都还能继续编辑23。同一天,用户超过2.5亿人的设计平台Canva发布了Craft,这是它第一款自主构建并训练的图像模型45。

以美分计的价格阶梯

把这一周的价格摆在一起,一件创意产出如今有了公开的价格阶梯。Meta−1.36% — Meta, down 1.36 percent today(纳斯达克:META)的Muse Image出自Meta超级智能实验室,自7月上线,通过Meta的模型API按每张0.01美元的统一定价出售6。Krea~$290M — Krea, private, latest valuation ~$290M 3于10月15日发布,出品的初创公司体量只有大型实验室的零头;它能在不到8秒内以原生2K分辨率完成编辑,每次收费0.06美元7。Ideogram的档位排在这两家之上,因为它的产品是设计师留得住的文件,而不是一张拿去发帖的图片2。

从1美分到32美分:一件AI设计产出值多少钱

Canva从买家变成了供应商

复杂之处在于,运行这些模型的平台如今开始自建模型。Canva用数以百万计的自家模板训练Craft,并已在Dream Lab和公司公开API中上线。Canva称,多年运行外部模型之后,自有模型让公司得以掌控成本、质量和速度58。Canva还宣称,Craft在众包评测平台DesignArena的榜单上名列第四,仅次于三个OpenAI$1.18T — OpenAI, private, latest valuation $1.18T模型;对这一说法,《澳大利亚金融评论》10月23日做了一次并排对比测试9。

压力已经显现:Canva去年营收约40亿美元,并下调了2026年的增长预期;外部分析师则将公司估值从约420亿美元调降至350亿美元8。对按产出计价的卖家而言,设计行业最大的买家,刚刚建起了自己的供给。

Ideogram的答案:拿下企业合同

发布前一天,即10月21日,Ideogram在纽约挂出了首批企业客户经理岗位,招聘销售人员,负责谈成定制品牌模型的六位数到七位数合同10。招聘启事显示,公司已融资近1亿美元,由安德森·霍洛维茨(Andreessen Horowitz)和Index Ventures领投,并计划在一年内将员工人数增至三倍10。

在价格阶梯的另一端,挤压在Krea身上清晰可见:PricingSaaS的追踪数据显示,6月以来Krea的套餐已调价13次,其中9次发生在过去90天内;Pro套餐卡片如今打出450张Nano Banana 2示例图,而不久前那里还只显示257张——算力并没有变11。

质量仍握在巨头手中

制衡的砝码是排名。在Arena的多图编辑榜单上,排在Krea 3 Ultra前面的三个模型全部出自OpenAI;Meta的Muse在Artificial Analysis的榜单上以1131的Elo得分位列第九76。矢量文件的溢价同样未经检验:Ideogram之外,尚无人公布过评测,验证这些文件到手时究竟是干净的图层,还是一团乱麻般的路径6。

这场较量将由两个日期见分晓:一是Craft能否借助Canva的MCP(模型上下文协议)连接器接入外部AI助手,该连接器目前标注为“即将上线”5;二是Ideogram能否把第一批企业销售新人变成白纸黑字的合同。一美分买到的是一张图片;三十二美分买到的,是一份无人需要重绘的文件。
