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
Seedream 4.5

AI Judge Analysis

FLUX.2 [klein] 4B

  • + Excellent photographic realism with natural bokeh and depth of field.
  • + Very accurate lighting that matches the requested 'soft window light from the left'.
  • + Clean, modern composition with high material fidelity.
  • The glass cube perspective is slightly distorted near the top right edge.
  • The blue sphere appears more like a solid bead than glass, though its placement is correct.

Seedream 4.5

  • + Strong adherence to the spatial constraints of the prompt.
  • + The glass cube has realistic thickness and green-tinted edges typical of clear glass.
  • + The small blue sphere feels more integrated into the surface it sits on.
  • The red book is much larger than the cube, creating an awkward overhanging composition.
  • Lighting is a bit harsh, creating sharp shadows that don't fully communicate 'soft' light.
  • The plant in the background is slightly less defined compared to the subject.

Verdict: Both models followed the prompt instructions perfectly, including all requested objects in the correct positions. FLUX.2 [klein] 4B is the winner due to its superior photographic quality and more sophisticated handling of light and depth, whereas Seedream 4.5 feels slightly more like a studio product shot with less naturalistic lighting.

Man and Car in California

Editing
Edit instruction

“Make a photo of the man driving the car down the California coastline”

FLUX.2 [klein] 4B
Seedream 4.5

AI Judge Analysis

FLUX.2 [klein] 4B

  • + Excellent preservation of the specific white car model and its details.
  • + Effective motion blur on the wheels and road creates a sense of driving.
  • + Perfectly captures the 'California coastline' background request.
  • The man's likeness is only generic and lacks the specific clothing details from the source image.
  • The man's face is slightly blurry and low in detail.

Seedream 4.5

  • + Exceptional preservation of the subject's identity, including hair, coat, scarf, pants, and shoes.
  • + High-quality, clear rendering of the man's face and hands.
  • + Successfully merges both source images into the requested scene.
  • The car door is open while the car appears to be in motion, which is illogical.
  • The car has been modified into a different model or configuration compared to the source.

Verdict: Seedream 4.5 is the clear winner for its superior ability to preserve the subject's identity and specific clothing from the source image, whereas FLUX.2 [klein] 4B used a generic subject. Although Seedream 4.5 has a composition error with the door being open while driving, the overall quality and adherence to the character reference makes it a more successful edit.

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
Seedream 4.5

AI Judge Analysis

FLUX.2 [klein] 4B

  • + Natural skin lighting and texture on the man's face
  • + Good atmospheric rain effect and wet pavement reflections
  • The bicycle frame is physically impossible and nonsensical
  • The man's right hand is disconnected/merged poorly with the bicycle seat
  • Fails to include the requested motion blur from passing cars

Seedream 4.5

  • + Excellent adherence to the motion blur instruction with passing cars
  • + Stronger composition that feels more like a candid, imperfect framing
  • + Detailed interaction between the man's hands and the bicycle chain
  • The bicycle tires and seat positioning are slightly inconsistent
  • Water droplets on the raincoat look a bit oversized and uniform

Verdict: Seedream 4.5 captures the technical aspects of the prompt much better, specifically the motion blur and the 'candid' feel. FLUX.2 [klein] 4B produces a high-quality human subject but fails significantly on the physical construction of the red bicycle and ignores the motion blur requirement.

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
Seedream 4.5

AI Judge Analysis

FLUX.2 [klein] 4B

  • + Excellent depiction of ornate engraving on the armor
  • + Very clear skin textures and realistic facial hair
  • + Accurately represents the braided hair with small colored beads
  • Lighting feels a bit flat and artificial compared to the prompt's 'warm torchlight'
  • The bokeh sparks look like simple digital dots rather than integrated lighting elements

Seedream 4.5

  • + Superior cinematic atmosphere with rich warm torchlight and dynamic bokeh sparks
  • + High-quality textures on leather straps and cloth underlayer as requested
  • + Lifelike eye rendering with excellent light catch and depth
  • The beads in the hair are concentrated in one area rather than throughout the braid
  • The close crop cuts out a significant portion of the armor's overall design

Verdict: While FLUX.2 [klein] 4B provides a very clear and technically sound interpretation of the prompt, Seedream 4.5 is the winner due to its superior artistic execution and lighting. Seedream 4.5 captures the 'warm torchlight' and 'battle-worn' aesthetic with much more depth, realistic textures on the materials, and a more lifelike expression.

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
Seedream 4.5

AI Judge Analysis

FLUX.2 [klein] 4B

  • + Excellent photographic quality and lighting in the food images
  • + Complex layout with sophisticated typographic hierarchy
  • + Includes branding elements and a logo area
  • Text is largely gibberish or nonsensical characters
  • Grid layout is slightly cluttered compared to a minimalist approach

Seedream 4.5

  • + Perfect adherence to specific section headers (Appetizers, Pizza, Mains)
  • + Extremely clean, minimalist aesthetic with clear vibrant accents
  • + Legible fonts and prices
  • Repetitive text entries (e.g., 'Pizza' listed twice under Pizza section)
  • Less complex layout than Image A

Verdict: While FLUX.2 [klein] 4B produces more realistic and appetizing food photography, Seedream 4.5 is the winner for this specific task because it accurately followed the request for specific text sections (Appetizers, Pizza, Mains) and maintained a cleaner, more minimalist professional layout. Image A's failure to render legible section headers makes it less functional as a menu design.

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
Seedream 4.5

AI Judge Analysis

FLUX.2 [klein] 4B

  • + Excellent photographic quality and lighting on the burger textures.
  • + High-quality starburst graphic for the price tag.
  • + Vibrant color palette and clean background sparks.
  • The primary text 'MAGIC BURGER' is severely garbled and unreadable.
  • The burger is not truly 'exploded'; it is just a fully assembled burger floating intact.

Seedream 4.5

  • + Perfect text rendering for all requested copy including 'MAGIC BURGER'.
  • + Successfully captures the 'exploded' concept with floating ingredients like pickles and tomatoes.
  • + Dynamic fiery typography matches the prompt's requested style perfectly.
  • The main patty texture looks slightly less realistic compared to the other model.
  • The starburst design is slightly more generic in its geometric shape.

Verdict: Seedream 4.5 is the clear winner because it followed every instruction, including the complex 'exploded burger' layout and perfect text rendering. While FLUX.2 [klein] 4B produced a very high-quality static burger image, it failed to separate the ingredients as requested and produced completely unintelligible headline text.

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
Seedream 4.5

AI Judge Analysis

FLUX.2 [klein] 4B

  • + Excellent realistic chalk texture on the board and within the letters.
  • + Coherent cursive handwriting style consistently applied across all text.
  • + Accurately represents the requested date and prices.
  • Numerous spelling errors including 'Truffel', 'Musheram', 'Ootrpous', and 'Brawn Buter'.
  • Poor spacing in the title with 'S PECIALS' having an unintentional gap.

Seedream 4.5

  • + Perfect spelling for all requested menu items and the date.
  • + Clean and legible handwriting that maintains a realistic chalk aesthetic.
  • + Better composition and framing within a café environment.
  • Repetitive text in the first item line where '$24' is written twice.
  • The handwriting style is slightly more 'clean' and less textured than the smudge effects in the other model.

Verdict: Seedream 4.5 is the clear winner because it successfully rendered all the text with perfect spelling and high legibility, whereas FLUX.2 [klein] 4B suffered from significant typos on every menu item. While FLUX.2 [klein] 4B had slightly more realistic chalk smudging, Seedream 4.5's ability to follow the complex text instructions accurately makes it the superior choice.

Pose & Character Mashup

Editing
Edit instruction

“Use Image 1 as the exact pose reference and Image 2 as the character reference. Recreate the person/character from Image 2 in the exact dynamic pose and body position from Image 1. Keep the exact face, hair, clothing style/details, and expression from Image 2. Match the lighting and environment of Image 1. The final image must show the character from Image 2 performing the precise action/pose from Image 1 with perfect anatomy and natural integration.”

Source
FLUX.2 [klein] 4B
Seedream 4.5

AI Judge Analysis

FLUX.2 [klein] 4B

  • + Excellent adherence to the complex leg-crossing pose from Image 1.
  • + Successfully combines clothing elements from both source images.
  • + Maintains the hair length and flow from the pose reference while attempting the character's face.
  • The hair is a mix of the two characters, failing to keep the 'exact hair' from Image 2.
  • Notable anatomical issues with the left foot and right hand fingers.

Seedream 4.5

  • + Perfectly replicates the character's facial features, haircut, sunglasses, and scarf from Image 2.
  • + Very clean visual quality with high resolution and clear textures.
  • + Excellent integration of the logo/text on the sweatshirt consistent with Image 2.
  • Fails to replicate the specific leg-crossing pose from Image 1, simplifying it significantly.
  • The character's expression is neutral rather than mimicking the lighting/angle of the original pose's head tilt.

Verdict: This comparison highlights a trade-off between pose accuracy and character fidelity. FLUX.2 [klein] 4B followed the instruction to use the exact dynamic pose from Image 1 much better than its competitor, though it struggled to maintain the character's short hair. Seedream 4.5 perfectly captured the likeness and clothing of the man in Image 2 but failed the primary edit instruction to replicate the specific, difficult body position from Image 1.

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
Seedream 4.5

AI Judge Analysis

FLUX.2 [klein] 4B

  • + High resolution and clear textures on the spacesuit and horse fur.
  • + Consistent lighting between the horse and the astronaut.
  • + Cinematic composition with a realistic planet horizon.
  • Prompt adherence failure: shows an astronaut on a horse instead of the requested 'horse on top'.
  • Anatomical issues with the horse's legs appearing to emerge from clouds over Earth.

Seedream 4.5

  • + Dynamic, cinematic pose with vibrant colors and nebulas.
  • + Clean rendering of the astronaut's helmet and visor reflection.
  • Prompt adherence failure: shows an astronaut on a horse instead of the specific 'horse on top' instruction.
  • Anatomical artifact with an extra leg or stirrup floating behind the horse's belly.

Verdict: Both FLUX.2 [klein] 4B and Seedream 4.5 failed the negative constraint to invert the roles (horse on top of astronaut), instead producing the standard trope of an astronaut riding a horse. FLUX.2 [klein] 4B is slightly preferred for its superior clarity and grounded composition, despite Seedream 4.5 having more vibrant colors.

Outfit Transfer Challenge

Editing
Edit instruction

“Use Image 1 as the base person. Dress them in the exact elaborate outfit from Image 2 (including all layers, accessories, jewelry, and shoes). Carefully adapt the clothing to the body shape and pose in Image 1 while maintaining realistic fabric behavior, correct proportions, and perfect lighting/shadow matching. Keep the person’s exact face, hair, and background completely unchanged.”

FLUX.2 [klein] 4B
Seedream 4.5

AI Judge Analysis

FLUX.2 [klein] 4B

  • + Successfully preserved the subject's face, hair, and vitiligo patterns with high fidelity.
  • + Included the additional jewelry/accessories like the gold bracelets and necklaces requested.
  • + Maintained consistent lighting and sand textures from the source image.
  • The scarf's pattern and color are slightly altered compared to the source image 2.
  • The hands are a bit muddled, and the pose interaction with the pockets is slightly unnatural.

Seedream 4.5

  • + Excellent replication of the scarf's specific plaid pattern and colors.
  • + Highly accurate rendering of the coat's fabric and buttons.
  • + The hand holding the watch and ring is very well-detailed and anatomical.
  • Failed to include the gold neck chains and secondary bracelets found in image 2.
  • The transition between the vitiligo-patterned chest and the shirts looks like a rigid cutout.
  • Slightly changed the subject's expression and face shape compared to Image 1.

Verdict: Both models performed well, but FLUX.2 [klein] 4B is the winner because it better preserved the exact likeness of the subject's face and vitiligo patterns from Image 1 while incorporating the requested jewelry. Seedream 4.5 had better clothing textures and a higher-quality hand, but it altered the subject's face slightly and failed to include all the specified accessories.

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
Seedream 4.5

AI Judge Analysis

FLUX.2 [klein] 4B

  • + Excellent photorealism in textures, especially the capybara's fur and the woman's coat
  • + Realistic interior lighting matches the street-lit environment
  • + Stronger spatial awareness with a better sense of depth and perspective
  • The vehicle size feels a bit cramped, looking more like a small hatchback than a New York sedan

Seedream 4.5

  • + Composition through the windshield offers a better view of the 'New York' setting
  • + Clear 'TAXI' text on the hat as requested
  • + Front paws are well-positioned on the steering wheel
  • The lighting on the capybara's face is a bit flat compared to the passenger
  • The woman's hands and phone interaction are slightly less natural looking

Verdict: Both models followed the prompt closely, but FLUX.2 [klein] 4B is the winner due to its superior lighting and texture rendering, which creates a much more convincing photorealistic effect. Seedream 4.5 offers a better cinematic angle from outside the windshield, but the overall image quality and skin/fur details are not as refined as FLUX.2.

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
Seedream 4.5

AI Judge Analysis

FLUX.2 [klein] 4B

  • + Excellent gothic typography style
  • + Intricate thorny and webbed border design
  • + Consistent 'parchment' texture across the whole frame
  • Major spelling errors in the main title
  • Inaccurate date ('206' instead of '2026') and typos in event details
  • Central jack-o-lantern is slightly off-center

Seedream 4.5

  • + Perfect text rendering with no spelling errors
  • + Clean, high-quality cinematic lighting around the jack-o-lantern
  • + Accurate adherence to all requested event details including time and date
  • The 'thorns' look more like modern barbed wire
  • Composition feels a bit more generic compared to the first image
  • The spider webs are less integrated into a border

Verdict: Seedream 4.5 is the clear winner due to its perfect text legibility and accuracy, which is crucial for an invitation design. While FLUX.2 [klein] 4B captured the artistic gothic aesthetic and border-details much better, its significant spelling failures rendered the invitation unusable.

Bald man challenge

“Give the person a full, thick head of natural hair with realistic texture, density, and a natural hairline. Preserve facial features and lighting.”

Before After
FLUX.2 [klein] 4B
Before After
Seedream 4.5

AI Judge Analysis

FLUX.2 [klein] 4B

  • + Excellent texture and realistic hair volume
  • + Maintains original facial features and lighting flawlessly
  • + Highly natural hair integration with the background and ear area
  • None notable

Seedream 4.5

  • + Successfully adds a full head of hair
  • + Preserves the original facial features and background well
  • The hairline is a bit sharp/artificial in transition
  • The hair texture is slightly less detailed compared to Model A

Verdict: FLUX.2 [klein] 4B provided a more realistic and aesthetically pleasing result by adding hair with natural-looking curls and a softer, more believable hairline transition. While Seedream 4.5 followed the instructions well, its hair implementation looks slightly more like a 'toupee' due to the uniform density and sharper edges along the forehead.

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
Seedream 4.5

AI Judge Analysis

FLUX.2 [klein] 4B

  • + Excellent PBR textures with realistic translucency on the salmon
  • + Clean and professional typography layout
  • + Accurate 45-degree isometric perspective
  • Missed the 'small flag icon' (rendered a generic red/white block)
  • Lacks the requested 'raised diorama base', placing the plate directly on the background

Seedream 4.5

  • + Successfully included the 'small flag icon' of Japan
  • + Accurately rendered the 'raised diorama base' with layered textures
  • + Greater variety of sushi types (nigiri and maki)
  • The 'J' in Japan is slightly stylistic/incomplete at the bottom
  • The textures feel slightly more matte/plastic compared to the requested realistic PBR look
  • Minor shadow clipping on the left side of the base

Verdict: Seedream 4.5 followed the complex architectural instructions better by including the raised diorama base and the specific Japanese flag icon. While FLUX.2 [klein] 4B had superior material rendering for the fish itself, it failed to generate the base and correctly identify the flag, making Seedream 4.5 the more accurate overall result.

Over-the-top cartoon caricature

Editing
Edit instruction

“Create a caricature of me and my job. Make it exaggerated and humorous, incorporating my profession as a tv show anchor and my love for dogs and hockey.”

Source
FLUX.2 [klein] 4B
Seedream 4.5

AI Judge Analysis

FLUX.2 [klein] 4B

  • + Expertly captures the cartoon caricature style with exaggerated facial features and line art.
  • + Clearly depicts the TV anchor profession with a full studio backdrop and news desk.
  • + Includes two well-designed dogs that fit the artistic style of the image.
  • Completely fails to include any hockey-related elements.
  • The likeness to the original woman is significantly altered due to the heavy caricature style.

Seedream 4.5

  • + Successfully includes all three requested elements: TV anchor (desk/mic), dogs, and hockey (stick/gloves/puck).
  • + Maintains a much better facial likeness to the source image while still applying a bobblehead-style caricature effect.
  • + Preserves the original background elements like the couch and picture frames from the source image.
  • The transition between the 3D realistic face and the slightly more stylized body is a bit jarring.
  • The scale of the hockey gloves and puck is slightly inconsistent with the rest of the desk items.

Verdict: Seedream 4.5 is the clear winner as it is the only model that adhered to all parts of the prompt, specifically including the hockey elements which FLUX.2 [klein] 4B omitted entirely. Seedream 4.5 also did a superior job of maintaining the subject's likeness and core features from the source image while still delivering a humorous caricature effect.

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
Seedream 4.5

AI Judge Analysis

FLUX.2 [klein] 4B

  • + Excellent anatomy and realistic fur texture for all animals
  • + Stronger adherence to the 'hyper-photorealistic' part of the prompt
  • + Clean lighting with distinct rays of sunlight
  • Missing the baby bunny requested in the prompt
  • Replaced the bunny with a second kitten

Seedream 4.5

  • + Successfully included all four animals: puppy, kitten, bunny, and fox
  • + Dynamic composition that better captures the 'chasing' and 'tumbling' action
  • + Beautiful use of bokeh and 'dew sparkles' or floating particles
  • Anatomy of the fox is a bit stylized with unnaturally large eyes
  • Slightly more 'digital art' feel rather than hyper-photorealism

Verdict: While FLUX.2 [klein] 4B provides superior photographic textures and realistic animal anatomy, it fails the prompt instructions by omitting the bunny and including a second kitten instead. Seedream 4.5 manages to include all requested animals and better captures the sense of movement and 'tumbling' action, making it the more accurate interpretation of the prompt despite being less photorealistic.

Studio Ghibli Anime Style

“Transform this photo into a Studio Ghibli–inspired illustration. Use soft pastel colors, hand-painted textures, gentle lighting, dreamy backgrounds, and a warm, nostalgic mood”

Source
FLUX.2 [klein] 4B
Seedream 4.5

AI Judge Analysis

FLUX.2 [klein] 4B

  • + Excellent soft pastel color palette and warm, nostalgic lighting.
  • + Captures the 'dreamy' aspect of the prompt with beautiful background textures.
  • + Maintains the pose and relative positioning of the characters well.
  • The art style leans more towards modern shoujo manga/anime than the specific Studio Ghibli aesthetic.
  • Character expressions are slightly softened, losing the sharp look of betrayal from the original meme.

Seedream 4.5

  • + Perfectly captures the Studio Ghibli character design style, especially in the eyes and hair.
  • + Superior preservation of the original image's background details, including the red bus.
  • + Accurately translates the facial expressions into an animated style while maintaining the meme's intent.
  • The lighting is a bit flat compared to the 'warm/dreamy' request in the prompt.
  • The watercolor texture is slightly less pronounced than in Model A.

Verdict: While FLUX.2 [klein] 4B produces a very beautiful and nostalgic illustration with superior lighting, Seedream 4.5 is the winner for its uncanny ability to replicate the specific Studio Ghibli art style requested. Seedream 4.5 manages to keep the iconic 'distracted boyfriend' meme recognizable while making the characters look like they belong in a Miyazaki film.

Seedream 4.5

AI Judge Analysis

FLUX.2 [klein] 4B

  • + Excellent source preservation, maintaining the exact identity of the woman and dog.
  • + Natural-looking hair motion that follows the wind direction.
  • + Subtle and realistic addition of autumn leaves.
  • The leash handle looks slightly distorted compared to the source.
  • Motion blur on the leaves is minimal.

Seedream 4.5

  • + Great sense of kinetic energy with motion-blurred leaves in the foreground.
  • + Effective hair flow that looks dynamic and lively.
  • + Added sunlight flare enhances the 'energetic' feel requested.
  • Significant loss of source preservation; the woman's face and the dog's features have changed.
  • Structural changes to the woman's pose and clothing details from the original.

Verdict: FLUX.2 [klein] 4B is the clear winner for image editing because it successfully applied all requested changes—windy hair and flying leaves—while perfectly preserving the identity and composition of the source image. Seedream 4.5 created a more visually dynamic 'new' image, but it failed the primary task of editing by altering the facial features of the woman and the appearance of the dog.

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
Seedream 4.5

AI Judge Analysis

FLUX.2 [klein] 4B

  • + Strong minimalist aesthetic with sharp vector lines.
  • + Excellent background texture consistency.
  • + Clean banner execution for the established date.
  • Major spelling error in the primary brand name ('FLAXTION').
  • Repetitive text elements below the banner create a cluttered layout.

Seedream 4.5

  • + Perfect spelling of 'Caffè Florian'.
  • + Better use of 'arch' typography which gives it a classic cafe feel.
  • + High-quality vector cross-hatching shadows on the cloche dome.
  • The line weight of the steam is slightly inconsistent with the rest of the logo.

Verdict: Seedream 4.5 is the clear winner as it correctly spells the requested name 'Caffè Florian', whereas FLUX.2 [klein] 4B hallucinates the word 'FLAXTION'. Additionally, Seedream 4.5 offers a more balanced composition and superior retro details like the cross-hatched shading and curved typography.

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
Seedream 4.5

AI Judge Analysis

FLUX.2 [klein] 4B

  • + Captures the requested navy, white, and red color palette effectively.
  • + Detailed illustration of the lunar module on the surface.
  • Nonsensical and garbled text across the entire image.
  • Composition is cluttered and lacks the logical flow of an infographic.
  • Includes four silhouettes for a three-person mission.

Seedream 4.5

  • + Perfect adherence to the 6-step logical flow requested in the prompt.
  • + Excellent text rendering with no spelling errors for the main steps and names.
  • + Clean, professional flat-vector aesthetic that matches the 'modern infographic' request.
  • The 'Descent' icon is a generic satellite rather than a lunar module descent stage.
  • Minor iconographic mismatch for step 3 where the arc terminates before the moon.

Verdict: Seedream 4.5 is the clear winner as it successfully creates a functional infographic with legible text, correct historical names, and a logical progression of steps. In contrast, FLUX.2 [klein] 4B produces an unorganized layout with severely garbled text and a confusing number of crew silhouettes, failing the primary objective of an infographic.
