FLUX.1 [dev] Black Forest Labs vs FLUX.1 Kontext [dev] Black Forest Labs

FLUX.1 [dev]

• + Excellent handling of glass refraction and reflections
• + Highly realistic textures on the book cover and wooden table
• + Sophisticated lighting that feels natural and soft

• − Physical logic error: the sphere appears to be floating inside the cube
• − The glass cube has internal vertical planes that make it look more like a glass frame or shelving unit

FLUX.1 Kontext [dev]

• + Stronger adherence to the layout: the plant is clearly visible through the glass
• + Better physical grounding: the sphere rests on the floor of the cube
• + Clear, sharp focus on all required elements

• − Lighting is slightly flatter compared to Model A
• − The bottom of the cube appears to be a mirror rather than clear glass resting on the table

FLUX.1 [dev]

• + Excellent shallow depth of field and bokeh effect
• + Natural, highly detailed skin texture on the subject
• + Subtle and realistic rain/wet sidewalk textures

• − The subject is standing next to the bike rather than actively 'repairing' it
• − Minimal motion blur on the passing vehicle

FLUX.1 Kontext [dev]

• + Better fulfillment of the 'motion blur' aspect in the background cars
• + Good reflections on the wet asphalt pavement
• + Stronger sense of 'candid' street photography framing

• − The bicycle appears to be passing through the man's leg, a major anatomical error
• − The overall image quality and textures look more digital and less like a 50mm lens photo
• − The pose is sitting/standing over the bike rather than repairing it

FLUX.1 [dev]

• + Excellent skin texture with realistic pores and freckles.
• + Intricate metal texture on the gorget reflecting warm light.
• + Clean, lifelike eye rendering.

• − Failed to include 'braided hair with small beads', showing simple long braids instead.

FLUX.1 Kontext [dev]

• + Successfully captured 'ornate engraved plate armor' with high detail.
• + Strong application of 'warm torchlight' and 'bokeh sparks' in the background.
• + Face clearly shows 'faint scars' and a 'battle-worn' expression.

• − Leather straps and cloth underlayer are less defined than the metalwork.

FLUX.1 [dev]

• + Excellent professional structure that closely mimics a real menu layout.
• + Legible information hierarchy with clear sections for Appetizers and Mains.
• + Clean use of white space and professional typography.

• − Missed the 'grid' request for the photos, placing them as isolated elements instead.
• − Missing the specific 'pizza' section requested in the prompt.

FLUX.1 Kontext [dev]

• + Strong adherence to the 'grid' layout for food photography.
• + Visually vibrant colors and bold, modern sans-serif fonts.

• − Poor logical structure for a menu, with very little actual menu content compared to photos.
• − Garbled text and nonsensical headings make it feel like a collage rather than a functional design.
• − Failed to include clear sections for appetizers, pizza, and mains.

FLUX.1 [dev]

• + Excellent 'exploded' layout showing individual burger components as requested.
• + Realistic textures on the food items and dynamic lighting.
• + Clean and legible text for the secondary messages.

• − Completely failed to include the primary title text 'MAGIC BURGER'.

• + Included all requested text elements, including a clear starburst for the price.
• + Vibrant and high-impact fiery background with glowing coals and embers.
• + Strong commercial advertisement composition with bold typography.

• − Failed the 'exploded' instruction; the burger is fully assembled rather than deconstructed in mid-air.

FLUX.1 [dev]

• + Excellent text accuracy with no spelling errors in the main menu items.
• + Consistent and elegant handwriting style that looks authentic to chalk.
• + Clean composition with natural background blurring.

• − The handwriting style is slightly too uniform, appearing almost like a digital handwriting font despite the prompt's request for natural variations.
• − Minor garbling in the bottom fine-print sentence ('drish').

FLUX.1 Kontext [dev]

• + Strong chalk texture and authentic variation in letter weights.
• + Includes more realistic 'smudge' artifacts typical of real chalkboard art.

• − Significant spelling errors and repetitions (e.g., 'Mushroom Mashroom', 'with with', 'Risoktso').
• − The date at the top is illegible and garbled.
• − Layout becomes cluttered with overlapping symbols and repeated prices.

FLUX.1 [dev]

• + Excellent cinematic lighting and composition
• + High level of detail in the spacesuit and horse's mane

• − Fails the specific prompt instruction to have the horse on top of the astronaut
• − Shows a standard rider/mount relationship instead of the requested surreal reversal

FLUX.1 Kontext [dev]

• + Successfully follows the surreal instruction of 'horse on top'
• + Clear facial features through the helmet
• + Maintains high resolution and realistic textures

• − The 'riding' aspect is a bit ambiguous as the horse is floating behind/on him rather than clearly mounted
• − The horse's hind legs are anatomically awkward as they merge/disappear behind the astronaut

FLUX.1 [dev]

• + Excellent photographic depth of field and lighting
• + Captures the bored, non-chalant expression of the passenger perfectly
• + Includes both paws on the steering wheel as requested

• − Composition feels more like a front-seat perspective than a passenger in the back
• − The capybara's claws look slightly distorted

FLUX.1 Kontext [dev]

• + Successfully places the passenger clearly in the back seat
• + Sharp detail on the capybara's fur and jacket
• + Realistic car interior lighting and street bokeh

• − Fails the prompt requirement of having both front paws on the steering wheel
• − Passenger's hand holding the phone appears anatomically awkward

FLUX.1 [dev]

• + Strong illustrative art style with excellent lighting and contrast
• + Atmospheric composition with a glowing moon and detailed thorny border
• + Clean layout that balances the visual elements and the text

• − The flag icon is integrated into a larger, cluttered graphic cluster

FLUX.1 Kontext [dev]

• + Perfect text rendering of 'JAPAN' and 'SUSHI'
• + Bold, clean 2D/3D hybrid style that is easy to read
• + Large, clear presentation of the requested flag icon

• − The flag icon is abstract and does not represent the Japanese flag
• − Lacks the sophisticated PBR textures and 'miniature' diorama detail of the other model
• − The sushi model is very basic, resembling a simple toy rather than refined 3D art

FLUX.1 [dev]

• + Excellent golden sunrise lighting with visible god rays and bloom.

• + Includes a wider variety of animals that better match the prompt request.

• − Failed the 'hyper-photorealistic' instruction by producing a CG/illustrative style.

FLUX.1 [dev]

• + Excellent layout that visually represents a mission trajectory/cycle.
• + Strong adherence to the requested NASA-inspired color palette.
• + Crisp vector-style graphics and professional infographic aesthetics.

• − Text consists entirely of gibberish despite having a structured layout.
• − Iconography doesn't clearly match the specific technical steps requested (e.g., Saturn V).

FLUX.1 Kontext [dev]
