# Recraft V4.1 Flash V2 is live in Studio and the API

Media 1 of 2

Recraft released [V4.1 Flash V2](<https://www.recraft.ai/blog/meet-recraft-v4-1-flash>), an update to its fast image model. It's in the model picker in Recraft Studio and in the API.

Recraft says V2 generates an image in 1.1 seconds, down from 1.3 for the first Flash, and handles text in images and fine details better at the same price. The speed figure is the median from Recraft's own benchmark on its API. Recraft also says Design Arena lists nothing faster on its board, where the model was measured at 1.5 seconds.

In the API the model is `recraftv4\_1\_flash\_v2`, at [$0.007 per image](<https://www.recraft.ai/docs/api-reference/models/recraft-v4-1-flash-v2>). It's raster only at 1K, with no vector version, and it doesn't take styles, style references or negative prompts.
