Context & Analysis

Pangram Labs first put its image-detection model out in July as a research preview, Pangram Image 0.1. The 1.0 release follows user feedback and is described as improving detection of deepfakes, low-resolution images, and content from state-of-the-art generators.

Alongside the image model, the company released Pangram Image Flash 1.0 for AI-generated video, which it says scored 98.69 points on the DF26 benchmark, 29 points ahead of the runner-up. The company also cites a benchmark of 1,200 composite images built on real photos, where it detected 99.96%, and says other benchmarks exceeded 99% detection.

The distribution model mixes free and paid access. The Chrome extension is free to install, but automatic social-media scanning sits behind a paid plan, and an API is offered at $0.25 per image for Pangram Image 1.0 and $0.05 per image or per second of video for Flash 1.0.
