About this model

Ideogram 4.0q is the quantized open-weight variant of Ideogram 4.0, Ideogram's 9.3B design-focused text-to-image model. The public release is available in quantized checkpoint formats such as nf4 and fp8 while retaining the family's strengths in multilingual text rendering, structured JSON prompting, bounding-box layout control, color-palette guidance, and high-resolution design generation. It is a strong fit for teams that want open-model deployment, self-hosted inference, or customization workflows around Ideogram 4 rather than relying only on the hosted API.
