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 [klein] 4B
FLUX1.1 [pro] Ultra

AI Judge Analysis

FLUX.2 [klein] 4B

  • + Excellent photorealistic lighting and shallow depth of field.
  • + Accurate material rendering of glass and wood.
  • + Perfect adherence to spatial instructions with the sphere resting on the bottom.
  • The glass cube looks more like a small open-top container than a solid cube.

FLUX1.1 [pro] Ultra

  • + High resolution and very clean textures on the book spine.
  • + Vibrant colors and clear visibility of the plant through the glass.
  • The blue sphere is levitating, which defies realistic physics for the prompt.
  • The perspective of the cube's base feels slightly skewed compared to the table surface.

Verdict: Both models followed the complex spatial instructions well, but FLUX.2 [klein] 4B is the winner due to its superior realism and adherence to physics. While FLUX1.1 [pro] Ultra has more crisp details on the book, it depicts the blue sphere levitating in the center of the cube, whereas FLUX.2 [klein] 4B correctly places it on the interior surface.

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 [klein] 4B
FLUX1.1 [pro] Ultra

AI Judge Analysis

FLUX.2 [klein] 4B

  • + Excellent depiction of light rain and atmospheric depth.
  • + Strong textures on the clothing and skin of the subject.
  • + Effective use of shallow depth of field for a cinematic look.
  • Failed to include motion blur from passing cars as requested.
  • The bicycle anatomy is slightly warped near the rear wheel and pedal.

FLUX1.1 [pro] Ultra

  • + Perfectly captures the requested motion blur from passing cars.
  • + Highly realistic reflections on the wet pavement and crosswalk.
  • + Accurate bike anatomy and placement of the subject within the environment.
  • The man's posture looks more like he is just holding the bike rather than actively repairing it.
  • The skin texture is slightly smoother and less 'imperfect' than requested.

Verdict: FLUX1.1 [pro] Ultra followed the prompt more comprehensively by successfully incorporating the motion blur of passing cars, which creates a more dynamic street photography feel. FLUX.2 [klein] 4B produced a beautiful portrait with better rain effects, but it missed a key technical instruction and had minor anatomical issues with the bicycle.

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 [klein] 4B
FLUX1.1 [pro] Ultra

AI Judge Analysis

FLUX.2 [klein] 4B

  • + Excellent realization of the braided hair with small beads as requested.
  • + High level of detail in the engraved plate armor and leather textures.
  • + Effective lighting and bokeh sparks that match the torchlight prompt.
  • The facial scars appear a bit like surface-level marks rather than deep, battle-worn history.
  • The skin texture on the forehead is slightly smoother than expected for a battle-worn character.

FLUX1.1 [pro] Ultra

  • The image failed to load or is a solid black frame.
  • Complete failure to visualize the prompt.

Verdict: FLUX.2 [klein] 4B successfully adhered to all aspects of the prompt, delivering a detailed and atmospheric portrait of a paladin with consistent textures and lighting. FLUX1.1 [pro] Ultra failed to generate a visible image, resulting in a black frame. Therefore, FLUX.2 [klein] 4B is the winner by default.

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 [klein] 4B
FLUX1.1 [pro] Ultra

AI Judge Analysis

FLUX.2 [klein] 4B

  • + Excellent photo quality for individual food items
  • + Clean grid layout that maximizes space
  • + Clear hierarchical sections for different courses
  • Nonsensical text rendering for headers and menu items
  • The 'Mains' category is repeated twice with different spelling errors

FLUX1.1 [pro] Ultra

  • + Legible typography for main headers
  • + Realistic presentation as a printed mockup
  • + Distinct sections that align well with the prompt requirements
  • Grid layout is a bit chaotic and less 'minimalist'
  • The perspective view makes it harder to read than a flat design

Verdict: FLUX1.1 [pro] Ultra produces a more functional design with legible section headers like 'Appetizers' and 'Mains', presented in a professional-looking mockup format. While FLUX.2 [klein] 4B has higher-quality individual food photography, its text is completely illegible and it fails to include a specific section for pizza as requested.

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 [klein] 4B
FLUX1.1 [pro] Ultra

AI Judge Analysis

FLUX.2 [klein] 4B

  • + Excellent photorealistic texture on the burger bun and meat
  • + Dynamic sense of motion with the ember-filled background
  • + Correctly included all requested text elements in high quality
  • The main title 'MAGIC BURGER' is horribly misspelled and garbled
  • The burger is slightly tilted but not really 'exploded' into components as requested

FLUX1.1 [pro] Ultra

  • + Flawless rendering of text including 'MAGIC BURGER' and '€6.99'
  • + Perfect adherence to the 'exploded' composition with separated layers
  • + Dramatic lighting and creative use of fiery coals at the base
  • Missing the requested starburst element for the price
  • Small nonsensical watermark-like text at the very bottom

Verdict: While FLUX.2 [klein] 4B achieves great texture and lighting, it fails the basic task of spelling the brand name correctly. FLUX1.1 [pro] Ultra perfectly captures the 'exploded burger' concept with professional-grade typography and composition, making it the clear choice for an advertisement.

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 [klein] 4B
FLUX1.1 [pro] Ultra

AI Judge Analysis

FLUX.2 [klein] 4B

  • + Features a very authentic chalk texture with realistic smudges and dust.
  • + Successfully captures the requested 'elegant cursive' style for the majority of the text.
  • + Excellent overall composition and framing within the wooden board.
  • Several spelling errors including 'Musheram', 'Ootrpous', and 'Brawn Buter'.
  • Spacing issues in the title where it reads 'TODAY'S S TPECIALS'.

FLUX1.1 [pro] Ultra

  • + Provides a better environmental context with the café background.
  • + The handwriting style is clear and looks like actual chalk ink.
  • + Correctly spells 'Brown Butter' which was the start of the truncated prompt.
  • The text is extremely repetitive, doubling up on words and prices.
  • Missing the apostrophe in 'TODAYS' and several other spelling/grammar errors.
  • Fails the 'elegant cursive' requirement, using a more blocky handwriting style.

Verdict: FLUX.2 [klein] 4B followed the stylistic instructions much better, delivering a beautiful cursive chalkboard aesthetic despite many spelling errors. FLUX1.1 [pro] Ultra suffered from significant text repetition and ignored the 'elegant cursive' requirement, resulting in a cluttered and messy layout. FLUX.2 [klein] 4B is preferred for its superior artistic execution and adherence to the requested atmosphere.

The Reversed Rodeo

Text-to-Image

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

FLUX.2 [klein] 4B
FLUX1.1 [pro] Ultra

AI Judge Analysis

FLUX.2 [klein] 4B

  • + Excellent anatomical details on the horse's musculature and face
  • + Clear, high-quality rendering of the astronaut's suit and helmet
  • + Well-executed dust particles around the hooves adding a sense of weight
  • The horse lacks protective gear for the space environment, making it less surreal and more logically inconsistent
  • Simplified background interaction with the horizon

FLUX1.1 [pro] Ultra

  • + Dynamic and cinematic composition with a rearing horse
  • + Beautiful lighting effects and lens flares that enhance the cinematic feel
  • + Includes interesting space debris and orbital elements to fill the frame
  • Odd orange object protruding from the astronaut's backpack
  • The white horse's mane looks somewhat artificial compared to the body

Verdict: Both models failed the negative constraint to have the horse on top of the astronaut, instead defaulting to the standard riding position. FLUX1.1 [pro] Ultra is the winner due to its far more cinematic and dynamic composition, featuring better lighting and a sense of movement that aligns better with the 'surreal' prompt requirements compared to the static nature of FLUX.2 [klein] 4B.

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 [klein] 4B
FLUX1.1 [pro] Ultra

AI Judge Analysis

FLUX.2 [klein] 4B

  • + Perfect camera placement and composition showing both the driver and the passenger in their respective seats.
  • + Highly realistic textures on the capybara fur and the woman's coat.
  • + Excellent adherence to spatial prompts, placing the woman clearly in the back seat.
  • The steering wheel looks a bit thick and rubbery compared to a real car.

FLUX1.1 [pro] Ultra

  • + Clear, vibrant lighting and sharp focus on the capybara.
  • + The capybara's hat has specific 'TAXI' text as requested.
  • Major spatial error by placing the passenger in the front seat next to the driver.
  • The passenger's hands are interacting awkwardly with the steering wheel area despite holding a phone.
  • The composition feels cramped and logically inconsistent for a taxi.

Verdict: FLUX.2 [klein] 4B followed the instructions much better by correctly placing the woman in the back seat, creating a believable taxi scene. FLUX1.1 [pro] Ultra failed the spatial arrangement by sitting the passenger in the front and merging her space with the driver's controls.

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 [klein] 4B
FLUX1.1 [pro] Ultra

AI Judge Analysis

FLUX.2 [klein] 4B

  • + Atmospheric cinematic lighting that blends the subject and background well
  • + High-quality rendering of the jack-o-lantern and thorny border
  • Several severe spelling errors in the main title
  • The year in the date is missing a digit (206 instead of 2026)
  • Missing the 'Time' detail requested in the prompt

FLUX1.1 [pro] Ultra

  • + Almost perfect adherence to the requested text for both titles and event details
  • + Beautiful parchment scroll effect and thorn border
  • + Clear, legible layout with all information present
  • Redundant and misspelled text added below the scroll banner
  • The jack-o-lantern lighting is a bit separate from the background compared to Model A

Verdict: FLUX1.1 [pro] Ultra is the clear winner as it successfully follows the complex text-heavy prompt, providing all event details accurately. While FLUX.2 [klein] 4B has a stronger cinematic atmosphere, its inability to spell 'Halloween' or include the full date makes it less useful as an actual 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 [klein] 4B
FLUX1.1 [pro] Ultra

AI Judge Analysis

FLUX.2 [klein] 4B

  • + Excellent PBR material textures on the fish and plate
  • + Accurate 45 degree isometric perspective
  • + High clarity and simple composition
  • Spelling error in the text: 'SUSH' instead of 'SUSHI'
  • The flag icon is incorrect, resembling the Austrian flag instead of Japan
  • Failed to include the requested 'raised diorama base' in a meaningful way

FLUX1.1 [pro] Ultra

  • + Correct spelling of all text and accurate Japanese flag icon
  • + Followed the 'diorama base' instruction perfectly with a thick white platform
  • + Beautiful stylized '3D cartoon' aesthetic with smooth, refined lighting
  • Includes excessive garnish and items, ignoring the 'minimal garnish' instruction
  • Lower contrast on the main heading text makes it harder to read against the background
  • Slightly less realistic PBR textures compared to the other model

Verdict: FLUX1.1 [pro] Ultra is the clear winner for its superior prompt adherence regarding typography, iconography, and the diorama structure. While FLUX.2 [klein] 4B achieved more realistic material shaders, it failed significantly on the text rendering ('SUSH') and provided the wrong national flag, whereas the stylized interpretation of FLUX1.1 [pro] Ultra felt more like a complete, purposeful 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 [klein] 4B
FLUX1.1 [pro] Ultra

AI Judge Analysis

FLUX.2 [klein] 4B

  • + Excellent variety in animal postures following the 'tumbling/chasing' part of the prompt.
  • + Detailed fur textures and realistic anatomy for the puppy and fox.
  • + Strong interpretation of the sun rays and dew sparkles.
  • Failed to include a bunny, instead generating two kittens.
  • Anatomy on the kitten's front leg is slightly warped.

FLUX1.1 [pro] Ultra

  • + Successfully included all four requested animals: puppy, kitten, bunny, and fox.
  • + Very consistent 'big expressive eyes' and cute, whimsical aesthetic.
  • + Clean, soft lighting that perfectly matches the 'wholesome' intent.
  • The animals are largely static and sitting rather than 'tumbling together'.
  • The fur texture is a bit smoothed out and less hyper-photorealistic compared to Model A.

Verdict: While FLUX.2 [klein] 4B provides more dynamic action and superior fur texture, it failed to generate the bunny requested in the prompt. FLUX1.1 [pro] Ultra followed the prompt's subject list perfectly and captured the requested 'big eyes' aesthetic, making it the better choice for overall adherence despite being less photorealistic.

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 [klein] 4B
FLUX1.1 [pro] Ultra

AI Judge Analysis

FLUX.2 [klein] 4B

  • + Clean vector aesthetic that matches the minimalist request.
  • + Accurate 'Est. 1720' text within the banner.
  • + Excellent use of negative space and subtle paper texture.
  • Failed to spell the main brand name correctly, rendering it as 'FLAXTION'.
  • Redundant repetition of 'Est. 1720' at the bottom.

FLUX1.1 [pro] Ultra

  • + Stronger visual composition with a circular emblem design.
  • + Sophisticated use of warm brown and cream tones.
  • + Artistic illustration of the cloche dome with elegant steam.
  • Misspelled the main brand name as 'Framilian'.
  • The design is quite complex and busy, deviating from the minimalist request.

Verdict: Both models failed to correctly spell the primary name 'Caffè Florian', which is a significant drawback for a logo. FLUX.2 [klein] 4B adhered better to the 'minimalist' and 'vector' elements of the prompt, whereas FLUX1.1 [pro] Ultra created a much more ornate and detailed emblem that, while visually impressive, ignores the minimalist constraint.

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 [klein] 4B
FLUX1.1 [pro] Ultra

AI Judge Analysis

FLUX.2 [klein] 4B

  • + Clean vector illustration style.
  • + Effective use of the requested color palette.
  • + Crisp graphics for the lunar module and rocket.
  • Severely garbled and nonsensical text rendering.
  • Fails to follow the requested 6-step chronological structure.
  • Includes multiple Earths and lacks clear phase labeling.

FLUX1.1 [pro] Ultra

  • + Excellent layout that feels like a professional infographic.
  • + Properly rendered main title 'APOLLO 11'.
  • + Successfully follows the instruction for iconography and specific mission steps.
  • Small body text is still largely gibberish.
  • The rocket design is more generic and less historically accurate than Model A.
  • Some icons are repeated or disorganized in the bottom half.

Verdict: FLUX1.1 [pro] Ultra is the clear winner as it provides a cohesive infographic layout with readable primary text and a logical progression of icons. FLUX.2 [klein] 4B produces clean individual assets but fails significantly in composition, spelling, and following the structural requirements of the prompt.
