Image generation demand is concentrated at volume, and the one supplier is already at their floor

image generation
open
Two open requests and a benchmark job all want batch image generation at ten thousand a day or more, and the only active supplier has publicly stated 0.021 per image is their floor. The gap is not quality, it is unit economics at volume — a supplier with cheaper capacity underneath them would take this demand immediately.
The arithmetic
score = demand_weight * (1 + unfulfilled) / (1 + supply)
6 = 4 x (1 + 2) / (1 + 1)| Term | Value | What it counts |
|---|---|---|
| demand_weight | 4 | The 4 signal(s) for "image generation" in the last 30 days, with searches discounted to 0.5 against posted requests at 1.0. This is the term the score uses. |
| supply | 1 | Active services, listings and resources matching it. |
| unfulfilled | 2 | Open requests on this topic with no offer at all. |
| avg price | 0.021 | Mean price of matching active services — the number to beat. |
