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] Ultra

AI Judge Analysis

FLUX.2 [dev] Turbo

  • + Excellent depiction of realistic thick glass with dust and refraction.
  • + Perfect lighting physics with reflections on the table and within the cube.
  • + The blue sphere is correctly placed on the bottom surface as expected in reality.
  • The plant is slightly less sharp than the foreground elements.

FLUX1.1 [pro] Ultra

  • + Clean, modern aesthetic with sharp details.
  • + Crisp text on the spine of the red book.
  • + Accurate placement of all requested elements.
  • The blue sphere appears to be floating unnaturally in the center of the cube.
  • The light quality feels a bit more sterile and less like natural 'soft window light'.

Verdict: FLUX.2 [dev] Turbo produced a more photorealistic and physically plausible image, particularly in how the glass cube sits on the table and how the sphere rests on its base. While FLUX1.1 [pro] Ultra has sharper details on the book, the floating nature of the sphere detracts from the realism of the scene.

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] Ultra

AI Judge Analysis

FLUX.2 [dev] Turbo

  • + Excellent realization of 'natural skin texture' and fine details in the facial features
  • + Strong adherence to the 'imperfect framing' and 'candid' atmosphere
  • + The bicycle and its components look more authentic and weathered
  • The motion blur on the background cars is slightly less pronounced than requested

FLUX1.1 [pro] Ultra

  • + Dynamic motion blur on the passing cars effectively captures speed
  • + Clean composition with strong reflections on the pavement
  • The subject's skin and clothing look too smooth and AI-generated, lacking the 'no stylization' requirement
  • The bicycle anatomy is slightly simplified and lacks the requested weathered feel
  • The man's interaction with the bike is less specific to 'repairing'

Verdict: FLUX.2 [dev] Turbo captures the gritty, realistic, and candid nature of the prompt much more effectively than FLUX1.1 [pro] Ultra. While FLUX1.1 [pro] Ultra has better motion blur, it fails to deliver on the 'natural skin texture' and 'no stylization' requirements, resulting in an image that looks like a clean stock photo rather than a candid street photograph.

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] Ultra

AI Judge Analysis

FLUX.2 [dev] Turbo

  • + Excellent adherence to all prompt details including braided hair with beads, faint scars, and ornate engraved plate armor.
  • + Highly detailed textures on the leather straps, fabric, and metal engraving.
  • + Effective use of warm lighting and bokeh sparks to create a cinematic atmosphere.
  • The torch in the background is slightly blurry/indistinct compared to the rest of the composition.

FLUX1.1 [pro] Ultra

  • The model failed to generate any content, resulting in a completely black image.

Verdict: FLUX.2 [dev] Turbo produced a high-quality, detailed portrait that perfectly followed all aspects of the prompt, from the specific textures of the armor to the character's facial details. FLUX1.1 [pro] Ultra failed to return a valid image, resulting in a black square.

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] Ultra

AI Judge Analysis

FLUX.2 [dev] Turbo

  • + Excellent typography with very clean, readable headers and body text.
  • + Strong grid alignment and professional use of vibrant color accents.
  • + Realistic food photography that matches the casual dining theme.
  • The pricing for the 'Mains' section is formatted confusingly.
  • Some of the secondary text at the top remains illegible gibberish.

FLUX1.1 [pro] Ultra

  • + Dynamic layout with a variety of framing styles for the food photos.
  • + Excellent use of icons and graphics to enhance the casual branding.
  • + Good spatial balance across the page.
  • Text rendering is significantly weaker, with numerous spelling errors like 'Pizzzans'.
  • The perspective mockup (viewed at an angle) makes it less functional as a design asset.

Verdict: FLUX.2 [dev] Turbo produced a superior design for a functional menu, featuring highly legible typography and a professional, crisp grid layout that follows the prompt's minimalist requirement. While FLUX1.1 [pro] Ultra has more creative illustrative touches, its poor spelling and presentation of the menu at an angle make it less 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] Ultra

AI Judge Analysis

FLUX.2 [dev] Turbo

  • + Excellent text integration with the requested fiery, glowing effect.
  • + Highly photorealistic food textures, especially the lettuce and bun.
  • + Perfect adherence to the starburst element and layout requirements.
  • The 'exploded' effect is slightly more static compared to a full deconstruction.

FLUX1.1 [pro] Ultra

  • + Strong sense of verticality and height in the burger stack.
  • + Good contrast against the dark background.
  • Failed to include the starburst graphic for the price.
  • Text lacks the requested 'fiery, glowing' effect, appearing more as a flat neon/inner glow.
  • The burger structure is repetitive and less like an 'exploded' view of one burger.

Verdict: FLUX.2 [dev] Turbo followed the prompt much more accurately, successfully integrating the starburst and the specific fiery effects for all text elements. FLUX1.1 [pro] Ultra produced a high-quality image but missed several layout instructions, such as the starburst and the specific stylistic rendering of the typography.

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] Ultra

AI Judge Analysis

FLUX.2 [dev] Turbo

  • + Excellent adherence to the requested text with zero spelling errors.
  • + Realistic chalk texture including believable smudges and dust on the board.
  • + Consistently elegant handwriting style that looks truly hand-rendered.
  • The layout is slightly cramped at the bottom, forcing the 'Cookies' text to wrap awkwardly.

FLUX1.1 [pro] Ultra

  • + Natural variation in lettering size and slant.
  • + The chalkboard frame and café background lighting are high quality.
  • Multiple spelling errors and garbled text (e.g., 'mushroomm ris.', 'friistratnisnios').
  • Failed to include the possessive apostrophe in 'TODAY'S'.
  • Significant repetition of phrases at the bottom of the board.

Verdict: FLUX.2 [dev] Turbo significantly outperforms the other model by accurately rendering every word from the prompt without a single typo, while maintaining a very realistic chalk aesthetic. FLUX1.1 [pro] Ultra struggles with text coherence, resulting in numerous spelling errors, abbreviations, and nonsensical repetitive lines at the bottom of the board.

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] Ultra

AI Judge Analysis

FLUX.2 [dev] Turbo

  • + Excellent texture on the horse's coat and mane
  • + Cinematic lighting with a warm sun flare and detailed nebula backgrounds
  • + Highly detailed space suit and saddle equipment
  • Failed the negative constraint; the astronaut is riding the horse instead of the horse riding the astronaut

FLUX1.1 [pro] Ultra

  • + Clean, sharp edges and great clarity in the depiction of Earth
  • + Dynamic composition with orbital debris and satellites in the background
  • Failed the negative constraint; the astronaut is riding the horse instead of the horse riding the astronaut
  • The horse's anatomy becomes slightly distorted where it connects to the harness

Verdict: Both FLUX.2 [dev] Turbo and FLUX1.1 [pro] Ultra completely ignored the specific spatial instruction for the horse to be on top of the astronaut. While both models produced high-quality images of an astronaut riding a horse, FLUX.2 [dev] Turbo is slightly better due to its more realistic textures and cinematic atmosphere.

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.”

100% wins 0% ties 0% wins

AI Judge Analysis

FLUX.2 [dev] Turbo

  • + Perfect adherence to the passenger being in the back seat.
  • + Highly realistic taxi interior details including the dashboard and light box.
  • + Capybara's paws are correctly placed on the steering wheel.
  • The capybara's paws look slightly more like human fingers in texture than animal paws.

FLUX1.1 [pro] Ultra

  • + Sharp, high-quality lighting and fur texture.
  • + The capybara's expression is very professional and alert.
  • Failed the spatial prompt by putting the passenger in the front passenger seat.
  • The passenger is holding a steering wheel that shouldn't exist in that position.
  • The capybara's arms and paws are anatomically confused and merge into the seat.

Verdict: FLUX.2 [dev] Turbo followed all instructions perfectly, placing the human passenger in the back seat and the capybara at the wheel with correct paw placement. FLUX1.1 [pro] Ultra failed the composition entirely, placing the passenger in the front seat and giving her a second, nonsensical steering wheel.

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] Ultra

AI Judge Analysis

FLUX.2 [dev] Turbo

  • + Excellent typography with clean, accurate text rendering.
  • + Perfect layout that integrates the jack-o-lantern and custom scroll banner seamlessly.
  • + Atmospheric and moody color palette that fits the 'vintage gothic' request.
  • The twisted trees are slightly clipped by the border.

FLUX1.1 [pro] Ultra

  • + Strong 'vintage parchment' feel with the large central scroll.
  • + Intricate thorn border creates a high-contrast framing effect.
  • Significant text repetition and spelling errors in the center section.
  • Missed the 'Party' in the main title text.
  • Overall composition feels a bit crowded and chaotic compared to it competitor.

Verdict: FLUX.2 [dev] Turbo followed all text instructions perfectly, producing a polished and legible event invitation. FLUX1.1 [pro] Ultra struggled with the text elements, repeating the 'night of frights' phrase and misspelling words, making it unusable as a functional 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] Ultra

AI Judge Analysis

FLUX.2 [dev] Turbo

  • + Excellent text rendering with clean, bold typography.
  • + Higly realistic textures on the fish and rice that feel tangible.
  • + Perfectly centered and balanced isometric composition.
  • The lighting is a bit more realistic than 'cartoon' as requested in the prompt.

FLUX1.1 [pro] Ultra

  • + Beautifully captures the 'cartoon miniature' aesthetic with stylized, soft textures.
  • + Sophisticated use of negative space and color harmony.
  • + Creative layout with various side elements that enhance the diorama feel.
  • Includes an unusual small insect-like detail on the wooden board.
  • Text contrast is lower, making 'JAPAN' slightly harder to read against the background.

Verdict: FLUX.2 [dev] Turbo produces a higher fidelity image with impressive textures that lean towards realism, while FLUX1.1 [pro] Ultra better captures the 'cartoon miniature' stylistic request with its soft, toy-like aesthetic. FLUX.2 is preferred for its crisp text and technical execution of materials, whereas FLUX1.1 excels in artistic interpretation of the scene.

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] Ultra

AI Judge Analysis

FLUX.2 [dev] Turbo

  • + Excellent fur texture and realism in the animal features.
  • + Dynamic composition that captures the requested 'tumbling' and 'chasing' actions perfectly.
  • + Highly detailed environment with visible dew sparkles and crisp backlit butterflies.
  • The kitten's facial expression is slightly distorted and wide-eyed in a way that looks a bit unnatural.
  • The lighting, while warm, lacks the soft golden 'glow' feel of the second image.

FLUX1.1 [pro] Ultra

  • + Captures a very consistent 'wholesome' and 'golden sunrise' aesthetic with beautiful god rays.
  • + Very cute facial expressions on all animals with the requested 'big expressive eyes'.
  • + Clean, soft lighting that minimizes harsh digital artifacts.
  • The animals look more like figurines or AI-enhanced dolls than photorealistic animals.
  • The composition is static and lacks the 'playfully chasing' and 'tumbling' movement requested in the prompt.
  • The fox kit and kitten look very similar in style and color, lacking distinct species characteristics.

Verdict: FLUX.2 [dev] Turbo followed the prompt much more effectively by capturing the action of the animals tumbling and chasing, while maintaining higher textural realism for the fur and environment. FLUX1.1 [pro] Ultra produced a very pretty, stylized image with great lighting, but it missed the 'hyper-photorealistic' and 'tumbling' aspects of the prompt, resulting in a more static, illustrative feel.

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] Ultra

AI Judge Analysis

FLUX.2 [dev] Turbo

  • + Perfect text accuracy including the requested accent on 'Caffè'.
  • + Excellent vintage texture and subtle paper background.
  • + Well-balanced minimalist composition with clean vector lines.
  • The cloche design is a bit generic compared to the detailed version in image B.

FLUX1.1 [pro] Ultra

  • + More sophisticated and intricate emblem design.
  • + Good use of the brown and cream color palette.
  • + Dynamic steam illustration.
  • Text error: misspelled 'Florian' as 'Framilian'.
  • The composition is a bit crowded for a 'minimalist' prompt.
  • The 'Est. 1720' text is slightly warped along the curve.

Verdict: FLUX.2 [dev] Turbo followed the prompt with high precision, accurately rendering all text and maintaining a minimalist vector style. While FLUX1.1 [pro] Ultra produced a more visually complex and aesthetically pleasing emblem, it failed the primary text requirement by misspelling the restaurant name as 'Framilian'.

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] Ultra

AI Judge Analysis

FLUX.2 [dev] Turbo

  • + Excellent text legibility and accuracy, correctly identifying crew names and mission stages.
  • + Clean, organized layout that follows the requested chronological steps for the most part.
  • + High visual fidelity for the lunar module and Saturn V icons while maintaining the color palette.
  • The layout is somewhat cluttered with redundant labels and overlapping icons in the center.
  • The prompt instructions to include specific numbered steps were ignored in favor of a free-form layout.

FLUX1.1 [pro] Ultra

  • + Follows the 'flat-vector' style and 'modern infographic' aesthetic much better than the competing model.
  • + Uses a structured, numbered step system as requested in the prompt.
  • + Superior adherence to the requested color palette and consistent iconography.
  • The text becomes 'lorem ipsum' style gibberish for all secondary descriptions.
  • Logic errors in the steps, such as placing the landing phase multiple times or using incorrect icons for specific stages.

Verdict: FLUX.2 [dev] Turbo produced a highly legible poster with accurate NASA history and names, but it feels more like a collection of clip-art than a cohesive infographic. FLUX1.1 [pro] Ultra captured the 'modern vector infographic' aesthetic perfectly with a superior layout, but failed significantly on text coherence and logical step progression. FLUX.2 [dev] Turbo is the overall winner for being functional and informative, despite the less sophisticated design.
