Sourceful: Riverflow V2.5 Fast

sourceful/riverflow-v2.5-fast

BenchmarksCompare

Riverflow V2.5 Fast is the speed-optimized variant of Sourceful's Riverflow 2.5 lineup, best for production deployments and latency-critical workflows.

The Riverflow 2.5 series is a unified text-to-image and image-to-image family that treats generation as a production workflow, using an integrated reasoning model to plan multi-step edits and judge candidates before accepting a result. Riverflow 2.5 combines their reasoning with a mix of open image diffusion models to provide greater accuracy and steerability. Reasoning effort is controllable via the reasoning parameter (low/medium/high) - higher levels do more editing passes and apply a stricter internal judge, while lower levels return faster for early exploration. It generates at 1K and 2K resolution (no 4K) and accepts up to 4 input images for editing.

Pricing is dynamic: cost is finalized per job at completion based on billable processing, so it scales with reasoning effort, resolution, and editing complexity rather than a fixed per-image rate.

Additional features (via image_config):

  • Custom font rendering via font_inputs (max 2) to match brand lettering, spacing, and weight
  • Custom scoring via scoring_prompt and scoring_rubric, so the reasoning model evaluates and steers each candidate against the criteria you care about
  • Background control via background_mode (original, transparent, solid) and background_hex_color

See the image generation docs for details: https://openrouter.ai/docs/features/multimodal/image-generationOpens in new tab

Note: Sourceful imposes a 4.5MB request size limit, therefore it is highly recommended to pass image URLs instead of Base64 data.

Example outputs summary for Sourceful: Riverflow V2.5 Fast

  • Text to Image: Editorial architectural photograph of a contemporary neighborhood storefront at blue hour, glowing warmly against the dusk. Above the entrance, a warm-white neon sign in flowing hand-bent cursive reads exactly "OpenRouter", the only text in the scene. Large windows reveal a cozy, lived-in interior: wood shelves styled with books and ceramics, lush trailing plants, and soft pendant lighting. Potted plants and a bicycle rest by the entrance, and golden light spills across the wet pavement in gentle reflections. Straight-on composition, realistic materials, quiet street with no people. — generated with Sourceful: Riverflow V2.5 Fast

Benchmark outputs summary for Sourceful: Riverflow V2.5 Fast

  • Full wine glass: A wine glass filled to the brim with white wine, the surface level with the rim of the glass, standing upright on a plain wooden table. Straight-on eye-level shot, glass upright and not tilted, no other objects in the frame. (Tied 10th of 60 on this prompt)
  • Closed umbrellas: Wide street-level photograph of about twelve people crossing a city street in heavy rain. Every person is carrying a closed, furled umbrella held down at their side. Not a single umbrella is open. Each umbrella is clearly visible. They are all getting soaked. No other people in the frame. (Tied 17th of 60 on this prompt)
  • Three fingers: Close straight-on photograph of an open right hand raised palm towards the camera, with exactly three fingers extended straight up and the other two folded down into the palm. Plain background, nothing else in the frame. (Tied 33rd of 60 on this prompt)
  • Cards & dice: Exactly four playing cards face up in a single straight row on a polished marble counter, evenly spaced, all the same size, showing the seven of hearts, the eight of spades, the nine of diamonds and the ten of clubs from left to right. No other objects in the frame. Straight-on eye-level shot, soft even light. (Tied 34th of 60 on this prompt)
  • Long exact string: A white A4 poster on a brick wall reading exactly "SPRING CLEARANCE - EVERYTHING 40% OFF - SATURDAY 14 JUNE, 9AM TO 6PM". No other text in the frame. (Tied 29th of 60 on this prompt)
  • Multiple languages: Straight-on photograph of a white overhead directional sign in an international airport terminal, with a black arrow pointing right at the left end. The sign carries the same word in four scripts on four stacked lines, in this order from top to bottom: "DEPARTURES", then the Japanese 出発, then the Korean 출발, then the Arabic المغادرة. Clean sans-serif lettering, sharp focus, no other text anywhere in the frame. (Tied 46th of 60 on this prompt)
  • Occlusion: Straight-on eye-level photograph of a plain wooden desk. On the left, a closed hardcover book with a dark red cover stands upright, its front cover facing the camera. A blue ceramic mug stands on the desk to the right of the book and clearly further back, about 20 cm behind it, positioned so that the right edge of the book overlaps and hides the left third of the mug. The mug's handle points to the right and the whole rim of the mug is visible. Bare desk surface is visible between the book and the mug. Nothing else on the desk. Plain wall behind, soft even light. (Tied 1st of 60 on this prompt)
  • Mirror: Straight-on eye-level photograph of a bathroom vanity. A large rectangular mirror covers the wall behind the counter and its bottom edge meets the countertop, so both the objects and their reflections are visible. On the counter, a tall red toothbrush cup on the left and a tall green glass bottle on the right, both roughly 20 cm tall and well apart from each other. The mirror reflects the counter and the objects on it accurately. Nothing else in the frame. (Tied 2nd of 60 on this prompt)
  • Plain zebra: Photograph of a zebra standing side-on in short grass. Its coat is a uniform solid grey with no stripes, no bands and no markings of any kind anywhere on its body. The whole animal is visible. Sharp focus. (Tied 27th of 60 on this prompt)
  • Times Square: Wide street-level photograph of Times Square in New York at night, wet asphalt reflecting the lights. Every billboard, screen, storefront window, awning, taxi door and road marking is completely blank — lit with plain colour fields and soft gradients only. No letters, no words, no numbers, no logos, no lettering of any kind anywhere in the frame. Sharp focus, straight-on shot. (Tied 11th of 60 on this prompt)
  • Minimal diff: From the reference photo, change only the sign text to "ROUTE 7 ESPRESSO - OPEN TILL 8". Keep the sign, wall, lighting and framing identical. (Tied 5th of 60 on this prompt)
  • Object removal: Remove only the second cup from the left in the reference photo. Leave the other four cups exactly as they are, in the same positions, and leave the shelf, towel, wall, plant and lighting untouched. (Tied 40th of 60 on this prompt)
  • Person removal: In the reference photo, remove only the person in the yellow coat. Their shadow on the pavement and their reflection in the shop window must be removed as well. Reconstruct the pavement and the window glass behind them. The person in the red coat and the person in the green coat must stay completely unchanged, including their own shadows and their own reflections. Change nothing else in the frame. (Tied 31st of 60 on this prompt)
  • Product placement: Product photograph of the ceramic mug from the reference image, standing upright on a café table. Show the same side of the mug, from the same side-on eye-level angle as the reference, with the handle on the right. The shape, proportions, colours, moulded relief and every painted detail must match the reference exactly. Only the setting and lighting change: soft daylight in a café interior, shallow depth of field. (Tied 36th of 60 on this prompt)
  • Four references: Place the person from the portrait reference at the desk in the scene reference, wearing the rust orange canvas jacket from its reference and holding the navy blue travel mug from its reference in one hand. Keep the face, the jacket and the mug exactly as they appear in the references — same colours, same details, same proportions. Do not change the room. (Tied 34th of 60 on this prompt)
  • Portraits: Studio headshot of a woman in a charcoal blazer against a mid-grey seamless backdrop, lit by a large softbox slightly above and to the left with a soft fill from the right, catchlights in both eyes. An 85mm look with shallow depth of field, skin texture and flyaway hairs kept rather than smoothed.
  • People in scenes: Photograph of four cooks working the pass in a restaurant kitchen at service, plating three dishes at once, several hands in frame and some of them overlapping. One cook partly hidden behind another, steam rising into hard overhead light, each face clearly a different person.
  • Animals: Photograph of a tabby cat asleep on a sunlit windowsill, fur lit from behind so the individual hairs glow at the edges, one ear turned toward the camera. Shallow depth of field, a houseplant soft in the background, quiet morning light.
  • Landscape and nature: Photograph of an old-growth temperate rainforest after rain, moss on every trunk and fallen log, ferns dense across the floor, thin fog between the far trees. Overcast light with no direct sun, everything from the nearest fern to the last trunk in focus.

Riverflow V2.6 Pro

Riverflow 2.6 Pro is the flagship model of Sourceful's Riverflow 2.6 lineup, a unified text-to-image and image-to-image family that treats generation as a production workflow: an integrated reasoning model plans multi-step edits and judges candidates before accepting a result, combining that reasoning with a mix of closed and open image diffusion models for accuracy and steerability. Reasoning effort is controllable via the reasoning parameter (low/medium/high/xhigh); higher levels do more editing passes and apply a stricter internal judge.

Riverflow 2.6 adds custom output dimensions: pass size as WIDTHxHEIGHT (up to 16,384 px per edge, 16.8 megapixels total, 16:1 aspect ratio) instead of a preset, or keep using 1K/2K/4K with an aspect ratio (now including 5:4 and 4:5). It accepts up to 10 input images for editing.

Pricing is dynamic: cost is finalized per job at completion based on billable processing, so it scales with reasoning effort, output size, and editing complexity rather than a fixed per-image rate.

Additional features (via image_config):

See the image generation docs for details: https://openrouter.ai/docs/features/multimodal/image-generation
