fal/reve/2.1

API

Reve 2.1 is Reve AI's flagship text-to-image model, generating natively at 4K (4096x4096) with layout intelligence — it reasons about structure and spatial hierarchy before generating. It is a standout at in-image typography (including foreign scripts) and ranks #2 on the Text-to-Image Arena, well suited to posters, packaging, and marketing design. The older fal-ai/reve/text-to-image endpoint serves the earlier Reve Image 1.0.
