What Is Recraft 20B?
Recraft 20B is developed by Recraft. Recraft’s open 20-billion-parameter model for art-directed images and a wide library of visual styles. This page maps only to the named model contract, so changing inference infrastructure never changes the model advertised to the user.

Recraft 20B Test Results
Testing in progress
Every model runs the same eight-category prompt set — portrait, product, poster text, anime character, interior, multi-reference, image editing and character consistency — recording generation time, success rate, text accuracy and identity retention. That run has not finished for Recraft 20B, so this page shows no scores. We do not publish numbers we have not measured.
Recraft 20B Limitations
