Launch-day verification
What we will test before enabling generation
A release announcement alone will not unlock paid generation. The endpoint, billing behavior, output storage and commercial terms must pass the same checks as existing production models.
- 1Confirm the official model ID, provider endpoint and supported parameters.
- 2Verify ecommerce product consistency and text rendering with controlled prompts.
- 3Test editing, references and transparency only if the official API exposes them.
- 4Measure latency, failure behavior and provider charges for each output specification.
- 5Validate credit deduction, refunds, asset storage and generation history end to end.
- 6Review commercial terms before making the model available to paying users.
