The backstory
Reve launched as an image model with unusually good prompt adherence and legible text inside images, which made it a favourite for poster and mockup work. That specific advantage was the entire pitch, and general-purpose models closed the gap on typography within months. Without a workflow, an asset library or an editor around it, there is little to keep users from switching. A strong model is not a product.
