SANA 1.5 4.8B
SANA 1.5 4.8B costs $0.013/image on FairStack — a text to image model for Budget generation needing more quality, Fast batch workflows, Moderate quality at low cost. No subscription required. Pay per generation with full REST API access. FairStack applies a transparent 20% margin on infrastructure cost so you always see the real price.
What is SANA 1.5 4.8B?
SANA 1.5 4.8B is NVIDIA's larger, higher-quality efficient image model with 4.8 billion parameters, generating images at $0.005 each. It represents a meaningful quality step up from SANA Sprint while maintaining fast generation speed, occupying the space between the absolute cheapest models and mid-range options. The model produces better detail, improved composition, and more coherent outputs compared to Sprint, thanks to the larger parameter count. It remains fast enough for batch workflows and maintains the cost efficiency that NVIDIA's architecture provides, making it practical for moderate-quality generation at volume. Compared to SANA Sprint at $0.0025, the 1.5 variant costs twice as much but produces visibly better output. Against FLUX 2 Klein 4B at $0.005 which is identically priced, SANA 1.5 offers a different quality profile from NVIDIA's architecture. Mid-tier models like FLUX 2 Flex at $0.02 deliver substantially better quality but at four times the cost. Best suited for budget-conscious generation needing more quality than Sprint, fast batch workflows at moderate quality, scaling up from the cheapest tier without major cost increase, and any workflow balancing cost efficiency with basic quality requirements. Available on FairStack at infrastructure cost plus a 20% platform fee.
