Try Dealroom →, the company develops foundation models that generate precise, controllable vector graphics from text, images or existing graphics — the launch was announced on X on 23 September 2026.
Why it matters: F13 targets a gap it says frontier image models leave open: technical accuracy. Its models are built for charts that faithfully represent data, scientific diagrams with correct proportions, and creative assets that follow a specific design system — outputs that remain editable SVG after generation, scaling across resolutions without losing structure or proportions. Initial use cases cover data visualisation, editorial infographics, educational diagrams, maps and spatial graphics, and brand-consistent layouts for presentations and marketing. The product is live in early access via a developer API and a web platform, with a public launch planned later in 2026. The pre-seed will fund bringing the first model to market and expanding compute, talent and data resources, plus further models for more complex design tasks.
