Geometric Composition

Text-to-Image

“A glass cube on a wooden table. Inside the cube is a small blue sphere. On top of the cube sits a red book. A green plant is behind the cube, partially visible through the glass. Soft window light from the left.”

FLUX.2 [dev] Turbo
FLUX1.1 [pro]

AI Judge Analysis

FLUX.2 [dev] Turbo

  • + Excellent photographic realism with natural textures on the wood and dust on the glass.
  • + Accurate cube geometry and physically plausible placement of objects.
  • + Captures the 'soft window light' beautifully with realistic shadows and reflections.
  • The sphere is slightly off-center and rests on the bottom rather than being a central focal point.

FLUX1.1 [pro]

  • + High vibrant color contrast and clean, modern aesthetic.
  • + The glass cube has very sharp, clear edges and interesting internal reflections.
  • The sphere is levitating, which wasn't specified and looks less realistic.
  • The glass shape is more of a rectangular prism than a cube.
  • The book texture looks somewhat synthetic compared to the rest of the image.

Verdict: FLUX.2 [dev] Turbo followed all prompt instructions with a high degree of photorealism, particularly in the lighting and wood texture. FLUX1.1 [pro] produced a cleaner, more stylized image, but failed to create a true cube and depicted a floating sphere, which made the scene feel less grounded.

Candid Street Photography

Text-to-Image

“A candid street photo of an elderly Japanese man repairing a red bicycle in light rain, reflections on wet pavement, shallow depth of field, 50mm lens, natural skin texture, imperfect framing, motion blur from passing cars, cinematic but realistic, no stylization.”

FLUX.2 [dev] Turbo
FLUX1.1 [pro]

AI Judge Analysis

FLUX.2 [dev] Turbo

  • + Excellent adherence to the 'repairing' prompt with visible tools and concentrated posture
  • + Highly realistic skin textures and clothing details
  • + Effective motion blur on the background vehicles following the prompt's request

FLUX1.1 [pro]

  • + Atmospheric cinematic lighting with high-contrast reflections
  • + Good use of bokeh and shallow depth of field
  • Anatomical failure where the bicycle frame is broken/missing behind the front wheel
  • The subject is just holding the bike rather than repairing it
  • The man's feet and the bicycle appear to be floating or poorly integrated with the ground

Verdict: FLUX.2 [dev] Turbo followed the prompt much more accurately, depicting a man actually engaged in mechanical repair with realistic tools and bike parts visible. FLUX1.1 [pro] produced an aesthetically pleasing atmospheric shot but failed on the core action of 'repairing' and suffered from significant structural errors in the bicycle's geometry.

Fantasy Warrior

Text-to-Image

“Close portrait of a battle-worn paladin in ornate engraved plate armor, hair braided with small beads, faint scars and dirt on the skin, warm torchlight reflecting off metal, shallow depth of field, bokeh sparks, lifelike eyes, highly detailed texture on leather straps and cloth underlayer.”

FLUX.2 [dev] Turbo
FLUX1.1 [pro]

AI Judge Analysis

FLUX.2 [dev] Turbo

  • + Excellent adherence to the 'beads in hair' and 'ornate engraved plate' prompts
  • + Stronger overall composition with clear visible armor and clothing textures
  • + Effective use of the warm torchlight source reflecting off the metal surfaces
  • The scar on the forehead looks a bit superficial and painterly compared to the rest of the realism

FLUX1.1 [pro]

  • + Extremely lifelike and intense eye detail
  • + Excellent skin texture and sweat/dirt realism
  • + Dramatic lighting and tight professional portrait framing
  • Failed to include the beads in the hair as requested
  • The armor details are mostly cropped out or blurred, missing the 'ornate engraved' aspect

Verdict: FLUX.2 [dev] Turbo followed the specific prompt requirements much better, highlighting the beads and the intricate engravings on the armor. While FLUX1.1 [pro] produced a more striking and realistic face with incredible eye detail, it ignored several key descriptive elements of the prompt.

Modern Clean Menu

Text-to-Image

“Modern minimalist restaurant menu design, white background with colorful food photos in grid, sections for appetizers/pizza/mains, bold sans-serif fonts, vibrant accents, clean professional layout for casual dining.”

FLUX.2 [dev] Turbo
FLUX1.1 [pro]

AI Judge Analysis

FLUX.2 [dev] Turbo

  • + Excellent typography with clean, readable bold sans-serif fonts
  • + High-quality, appetizing food photography that looks professional
  • + Cohesive layout with vibrant color accents and logical sections
  • Nonsensical pricing ($250 for a pizza) and slight spelling errors in small body text
  • The layout feels a bit crowded with images, leaving less room for text

FLUX1.1 [pro]

  • + Elegant, minimalist layout that feels very modern and high-end
  • + Creative presentation showing the menu alongside cutlery for context
  • + Good use of white space to enhance the minimalist aesthetic
  • Text is largely illegible/gibberish beyond the headers
  • The food images are quite small and lose detail in the grid layout

Verdict: FLUX.2 [dev] Turbo produced a more functional-looking menu with superior typography and appetite appeal in its food photography. While FLUX1.1 [pro] created a more artistic and stylish mock-up, its internal text is significantly less coherent, making the FLUX.2 version more useful as a design template.

Magic Burger Explosion: Fiery Photorealism Challenge

Text-to-Image

“Ad for 'Magic Burger'. Dynamic, exploded burger with all components (bun, patty, cheese, lettuce, tomato, sauce) suspended in mid-air. Emphasize photorealistic detail and a sense of motion. Dark, fiery background with glowing embers. Integrate text: 'MAGIC BURGER' as a prominent title, 'LIMITED TIME ONLY' as a secondary message, and '€6.99' in a starburst, all rendered with a fiery, glowing effect.”

FLUX.2 [dev] Turbo
FLUX1.1 [pro]

AI Judge Analysis

FLUX.2 [dev] Turbo

  • + Perfectly followed all text instructions, including the fiery glowing effect and starburst shape.
  • + Dynamic 'exploded' view accurately shows all individual components suspended in mid-air.
  • + Superior photographic texture on the burger patty, bun, and fresh vegetables.
  • The sauce droplets have a slightly unnatural, stiff look.
  • The background fire detail is slightly lower resolution than the foreground burger.

FLUX1.1 [pro]

  • + High contrast lighting and vibrant colors create a dramatic atmosphere.
  • + Excellent crispness and clarity on the central burger structure.
  • Failed to create an 'exploded' burger, keeping most components contained within the bun.
  • Completely ignored the request for a fiery/glowing text effect and a starburst for the price.
  • Duplicated the 'MAGIC BURGER' text and included illegible gibberish at the bottom.

Verdict: FLUX.2 [dev] Turbo followed every detail of the prompt, successfully executing the difficult 'exploded' burger layout and applying the specific fiery text styles requested. FLUX1.1 [pro] failed significantly on text styling and composition, producing a mostly assembled burger and ignoring the starburst requirement.

Chalkboard Menu

Text-to-Image

“Handwritten-style chalkboard menu in a cozy café, all text rendered in the exact same realistic chalk handwriting style with natural variations in letter size, slight slant, and chalk texture — no printed or digital fonts anywhere on the board. Title at the top in elegant cursive chalk handwriting: ‘TODAY’S SPECIALS – APRIL 30, 2026’. Below it, three menu items also in the same handwritten chalk style: ‘Truffle Mushroom Risotto – $24’, ‘Grilled Octopus with Lemon & Herbs – $28’, ‘Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies – $9’. At the very bottom, smaller text in the identical handwritten chalk style (slightly smaller but still clearly legible with the same handwriting characteristics): ‘All items made fresh daily • Ask about our gluten-free options’. Warm ambient café lighting, visible chalk dust and smudges, realistic handwriting imperfections, no clean printed text anywhere.”

FLUX.2 [dev] Turbo
FLUX1.1 [pro]

AI Judge Analysis

FLUX.2 [dev] Turbo

  • + Excellent chalk texture with realistic smudges and pressure variations.
  • + Perfect spelling and coherent layout of the requested menu items.
  • + Consistent and authentic handwriting style that looks hand-drawn.
  • The date line is slightly less 'elegant cursive' compared to the main title.

FLUX1.1 [pro]

  • + Elegant layout with decorative flourishes.
  • + Good contrast between the text and the board background.
  • Significant text errors including 'Chipkies', '$228', and 'Herbss'.
  • Text looks more like a digital font than actual chalk on a board.
  • Repeated the octopus item across two lines incorrectly.

Verdict: FLUX.2 [dev] Turbo significantly outperformed FLUX1.1 [pro] in this challenge by providing actual chalk texture and perfect spelling. While FLUX1.1 [pro] attempted a more decorative layout, it failed on prompt adherence with numerous spelling errors and a font that looks digitally overlaid rather than handwritten.

The Reversed Rodeo

Text-to-Image

“Horse riding astronaut in space — horse on top, not vice versa. Surreal, highly detailed, cinematic.”

FLUX.2 [dev] Turbo
FLUX1.1 [pro]

AI Judge Analysis

FLUX.2 [dev] Turbo

  • + Excellent anatomical realism of the horse.
  • + High cinematic quality with realistic planetary backgrounds.
  • + Superior lighting and texture on the space suit.
  • Failed the negative constraint: astronaut is on top, not the horse.

FLUX1.1 [pro]

  • + Creative interpretation of the horse body appearing like a spacecraft module.
  • + Dynamic and colorful composition.
  • + Maintains a surreal aesthetic.
  • Failed the negative constraint: astronaut is on top, not the horse.
  • The horse's front legs exhibit slightly messy anatomy compared to Model A.

Verdict: Both FLUX.2 [dev] Turbo and FLUX1.1 [pro] failed the difficult spatial logic constraint of placing the horse on top of the astronaut, instead defaulting to the common 'astronaut riding horse' trope. FLUX.2 [dev] Turbo is the preferred image due to its superior realism, cleaner details, and more grounded cinematic quality, whereas FLUX1.1 [pro] felt slightly more cluttered.

The Capybara Taxi Driver

Text-to-Image

“Photorealistic scene inside a yellow New York taxi at night. A capybara is driving, wearing a yellow taxi driver cap and a dark jacket. It has a calm, professional expression and both front paws on the steering wheel. In the back seat sits a human businesswoman in a coat, looking at her phone with a completely normal, bored expression (as if this is just another normal ride). Through the windows you can see the streets of Manhattan at night with blurred lights. Realistic taxi interior, photorealistic, detailed fur and fabric, 35mm lens, night lighting with reflections, shallow depth of field.”

FLUX.2 [dev] Turbo
FLUX1.1 [pro]

AI Judge Analysis

FLUX.2 [dev] Turbo

  • + Excellent adherence to the 'front paws on steering wheel' instruction
  • + Higher realism in the taxi interior and exterior city lights
  • + The female passenger is correctly positioned in the back seat
  • The passenger is sitting in the front seat instead of the back as requested
  • Minor texture blurring on the capybara's hands compared to the fur

FLUX1.1 [pro]

  • + Atmospheric lighting and bokeh
  • + Characteristically accurate capybara facial features
  • Failed to place the capybara's paws on the steering wheel
  • The passenger is sitting in the front passenger seat next to the driver
  • The composition feels less like a real taxi interior and more like a studio set

Verdict: FLUX.2 [dev] Turbo adhered much better to the specific prompt requirements, successfully rendering the capybara with its paws on the steering wheel. While both models failed to place the passenger in the back seat (placing her in the front instead), FLUX.2 [dev] Turbo's overall photorealism and depiction of the New York taxi felt more grounded and authentic than the stylised output of FLUX1.1 [pro].

The Halloween Invitation

Text-to-Image

“Vintage gothic Halloween party invitation. Dark parchment poster, spooky border with webs and thorns, central glowing jack-o-lantern, bats, twisted trees, moody night sky. Add elegant gothic title text saying "Halloween Party Invitation", a small scroll banner saying "You are invited to a night of frights", and event details at the bottom: Date: 30.10.2026 Time: 7pm Location: The Arches, NYC Spooky but polished, cinematic lighting, square format.”

FLUX.2 [dev] Turbo
FLUX1.1 [pro]

AI Judge Analysis

FLUX.2 [dev] Turbo

  • + Perfect text rendering with zero spelling errors across all requested fields.
  • + Strong adherence to the vintage parchment aesthetic with a high-quality thorn and web border.
  • + Excellent composition that feels like a professional invitation layout.
  • The jack-o-lantern's glow is a bit flat compared to the atmospheric lighting in the background.

FLUX1.1 [pro]

  • + Beautiful cinematic lighting and depth with a striking full moon and silhouettes.
  • + High visual contrast and vibrant colors that make the jack-o-lantern pop.
  • Significant text errors including redundant text duplication ('Party Party') and spelling mistakes ('You inivted').
  • Layout feels cluttered with repeated location and time lines at the bottom.
  • Fails the square format requirement, instead producing a vertical poster.

Verdict: FLUX.2 [dev] Turbo significantly outperforms FLUX1.1 [pro] in this task by following all instructions, including the square format and specific text requirements, with perfect accuracy. While FLUX1.1 [pro] has impressive lighting and atmosphere, its failure to render the text correctly and its disregard for the requested aspect ratio make it unusable as an invitation.

Isometric Miniature Diorama Scenes

Text-to-Image

“Create a clear, 45° top-down isometric miniature 3D cartoon scene of Japan's signature dish: sushi, with soft refined textures, realistic PBR materials, gentle lighting, on a small raised diorama base with minimal garnish and plate. Solid light blue background. At top-center: 'JAPAN' in large bold text, 'SUSHI' below it, small flag icon. Perfectly centered, ultra-clean, high-clarity, square format.”

FLUX.2 [dev] Turbo
FLUX1.1 [pro]

AI Judge Analysis

FLUX.2 [dev] Turbo

  • + Excellent text rendering and alignment.
  • + High-realism PBR textures on the fish and rice.
  • + Includes the requested flag icon next to the text.
  • The sushi looks more realistic than the requested 'cartoon' style.
  • The diorama base is slightly more complex than 'minimal' compared to the overall scene.

FLUX1.1 [pro]

  • + Perfectly captures the 'miniature 3D cartoon' aesthetic with soft, pillowy textures.
  • + Great use of color and composition for a diorama.
  • + Accurate 45-degree isometric projection.
  • Failed to include the requested flag icon.
  • The text 'SUSHI' is relatively small and lacks the 'large bold' impact of the model A text.
  • Incorporated extra garnishes (tomatoes/onions) that weren't specifically requested.

Verdict: FLUX.2 [dev] Turbo followed the specific technical elements of the prompt better, specifically the flag icon and text styling. However, FLUX1.1 [pro] better captured the '3D cartoon' aesthetic and diorama feel, though it missed the flag and the text was less prominent. FLUX.2 [dev] Turbo is the overall winner for its strict adherence to text and icon requirements while maintaining high material quality.

Adorable Baby Animals in Sunny Meadow

Text-to-Image

“Hyper-photorealistic scene of fluffy baby animals—a golden retriever puppy, tabby kitten, baby bunny, and red fox kit—with big expressive eyes and ultra-detailed soft fur, playfully chasing butterflies and tumbling together in a lush wildflower meadow, warm golden sunrise light with god rays and dew sparkles, joyful wholesome vibe, 8K masterpiece.”

FLUX.2 [dev] Turbo
FLUX1.1 [pro]

AI Judge Analysis

FLUX.2 [dev] Turbo

  • + Successfully included all four requested animals (dog, cat, rabbit, fox).
  • + Excellent dynamic composition showing interaction and playfulness.
  • + Beautiful rendering of dew sparkles and atmospheric god rays.
  • Some minor anatomical blurring where the animals overlap.

FLUX1.1 [pro]

  • + Very soft, high-quality lighting and fur rendering.
  • + Wholesome and cute aesthetic with consistent color palette.
  • Failed to include the fox kit completely.
  • The animals are sitting relatively still rather than 'tumbling together' as requested.
  • The kitten and bunny look very similar in color and facial structure.

Verdict: FLUX.2 [dev] Turbo followed the prompt much more accurately by including all four distinct animals and capturing the 'tumbling' action. FLUX1.1 [pro] produced a high-quality, cute image but failed on the specific animal count and the dynamic nature of the scene.

Vintage Cafe Logo

Text-to-Image

“Vintage minimalist restaurant logo for "Caffè Florian", retro cloche dome with steam and "Est. 1720" banner, classic typography, warm brown and cream tones, subtle texture on light background, vector emblem style.”

FLUX.2 [dev] Turbo
FLUX1.1 [pro]

AI Judge Analysis

FLUX.2 [dev] Turbo

  • + Perfect spelling of the brand name including the grave accent on the letter 'e'.
  • + Excellent minimalist vector aesthetic with clean, balanced proportions.
  • + Highly effective use of texture and warm tones to create a vintage feel.
  • The steam effect is a bit simple compared to the resto of the detailing.

FLUX1.1 [pro]

  • + Intricate etching style on the cloche dome adds a premium vintage look.
  • + Elegant border designs that enhance the overall logo presentation.
  • Failed to spell the restaurant name correctly, outputting 'FRATILIAN' instead of 'Florian'.
  • The typography is a bit cluttered with extra decorative lines that reduce readability.

Verdict: FLUX.2 [dev] Turbo significantly outperforms FLUX1.1 [pro] by accurately rendering the requested text 'Caffè Florian', which the latter failed to do. While FLUX1.1 [pro] offered a more sophisticated illustrative style, FLUX.2 [dev] Turbo provided a cleaner, more professional logo that adhered perfectly to every detail of the prompt.

Apollo 11: Journey to Tranquility

Text-to-Image

“Create a clean, modern vector infographic poster about the Apollo 11 mission. NASA-inspired palette (navy, white, muted red, light gray). Flat-vector style, crisp lines, consistent iconography, subtle gradients only. Steps (stop at landing): 1. Launch (Saturn Vicon) 2. Earth Orbit (Earth + orbit ring icon) 3. Translunar (trajectory arc icon) 4. Lunar Orbit (Moon + orbit ring icon) 5. Descent (lunar module descending icon) 6. Landing (lunar module on the surface icon) Small supporting elements (minimal text): • Crew strip: three silhouette icons with only last names: Armstrong, Aldrin, Collins. • Landing site marker: Moon pin labeled "Tranquility" only. Layout constraints: generous margins, large readable labels, clean background with subtle stars. Vector-only, print-poster look, high resolution.”

FLUX.2 [dev] Turbo
FLUX1.1 [pro]

AI Judge Analysis

FLUX.2 [dev] Turbo

  • + Excellent typography with nearly perfect spelling for all steps and labels.
  • + High level of detail in the lunar module and rocket illustrations while maintaining a clean aesthetic.
  • + Logical layout that follows a semi-chronological flow from launch to landing.
  • Included 'Saturn Vicon' as literal text instead of interpreting it as an icon of a Saturn V.
  • Repeated labels like 'Translunar' and 'Landing site' create some visual clutter.

FLUX1.1 [pro]

  • + Stronger adherence to the 'flat-vector' and 'minimalist' infographic style requested.
  • + Follows a clear numeric step system (though numbers are slightly duplicated).
  • Poor text rendering with several illegible words and misspellings like 'Deseert'.
  • The icons are generic and do not accurately represent the specific Apollo hardware (e.g., the rocket looks like a generic cartoon rocket).
  • The composition is less informative and feels more like a template than a completed infographic.

Verdict: FLUX.2 [dev] Turbo is the clear winner as it provides a highly legible, accurate, and professional-looking infographic that correctly names the mission steps and crew. While FLUX1.1 [pro] better captures the requested 'flat-vector' style, its failure to render readable text or accurate mission hardware makes it far less useful as an infographic.
