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 [max]
Wan 2.6
AI Judge Analysis
FLUX.2 [max]
- + Perfect adherence to spatial instructions with the sphere inside and book on top.
- + Exceptional rendering of lens flare and glass refraction.
- + Highly realistic texture on the red book cover and wooden table.
- − The glass cube lacks a top pane, appearing more like a glass display case with an open top.
- − The plant in the background is extremely out of focus.
Wan 2.6
- + Excellent depiction of a solid glass cube with visible top and side thickness.
- + Successfully captures the plant visible through the glass as requested.
- + Realistic sunlight and shadow play across the wooden surface.
- − The glass cube's back edge appears slightly warped through the internal refraction.
- − The red book has a slightly worn, vintage look that might not suit all aesthetic preferences.
Verdict: Both models followed the prompt perfectly, but FLUX.2 [max] produced a more modern, polished image with slightly better lighting coherence. However, Wan T2I-V2.6 is arguably better for 'prompt adherence' as it rendered the green plant clearly visible through the glass, whereas FLUX.2 [max] blurred the background so heavily that the effect is lost.

AI Judge Analysis
FLUX.2 [max]
- + Excellent preservation of the specific car model and details
- + Identifiable facial features and hairstyle matching the source
- + Accurate depiction of the California coastline environment
- − The man appears to be on the passenger side for a US-spec car, or the image is at an odd angle for driving
- − The man's expression is very stern compared to the source
Wan 2.6
- + Captures a much more dynamic sense of motion with blurred wheels and background
- + Maintains the man's cheerful expression from the source image
- + Stronger composition that emphasizes the 'driving' aspect
- − Notable distortion of the car's proportions (the front end is shortened and stylized)
- − The man's hand on the steering wheel has anatomical issues (extra long/unstructured fingers)
Verdict: FLUX.2 [max] did a superior job of preserving the physical characteristics of both the car and the man, maintaining the specific Rolls-Royce model accurately. However, Wan 2.6 provided a much more creative and visually pleasing composition by adding motion blur and keeping the subject's original smile, even though it heavily distorted the car's anatomy. FLUX.2 [max] is the winner for its technical accuracy in an editing task.
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 [max]
Wan 2.6
AI Judge Analysis
FLUX.2 [max]
- + Excellent adherence to the 'motion blur from passing cars' prompt requirement
- + Highly realistic skin textures and hand anatomy without over-smoothing
- + Accurate depiction of a 50mm shallow depth of field with cinematic lighting
- − The bike's frame geometry is slightly off, particularly where the fork meets the wheel
- − The 'imperfect framing' requested is not very prominent as the composition remains fairly balanced
Wan 2.6
- + Atmospheric rain effect with very visible water droplets on the jacket
- + Good reflections on the wet pavement contributing to the cinematic feel
- + Strong character design for the elderly man
- − Failed to include 'motion blur from passing cars' as the car in the background is static/clear
- − The bike's rear wheel and chain area have significant structural artifacts (missing seat post connection, floating chain)
- − The skin texture on the hands appears somewhat muddy or over-processed
Verdict: FLUX.2 [max] is the winner as it successfully incorporated all elements of the prompt, most notably the motion blur of passing cars which Wan 2.6 missed. While Wan 2.6 captured the texture of rain well, it suffered from significant anatomical and mechanical errors in the bicycle structure.
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 [max]
Wan 2.6
AI Judge Analysis
FLUX.2 [max]
- + Excellent depiction of ornate, high-contrast engraved plate armor.
- + Superior facial skin texture and realistic depth of field.
- + Follows the request for beaded braids with a more subtle, integrated design.
- − The scars appear slightly more like surface scratches than deep battle wounds.
- − The lighting on the face is a bit flat compared to the dramatic armor highlights.
Wan 2.6
- + Stronger atmospheric storytelling with visible torches and embers.
- + Highly effective interpretation of 'battle-worn' through gritty dirt and moist eyes.
- + Great detail on the weathered leather straps and fraying cloth underlayer.
- − The beads in the hair look a bit like modern jewelry or glass marbles.
- − Slight anatomical awkwardness in the ear and hair transition.
- − The armor engraving is slightly less crisp than Model A's.
Verdict: Both models performed exceptionally well, but FLUX.2 [max] takes a slight lead in technical visual quality and the intricate rendering of the engraved armor. While Wan 2.6 provided a more emotive and atmospheric interpretation of a 'battle-worn' character, FLUX.2 [max] achieved a more realistic photographic finish with better skin micro-details and clearer textures.
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 [max]
Wan 2.6
AI Judge Analysis
FLUX.2 [max]
- + Excellent typographic hierarchy with clean, bold sans-serif fonts
- + Very organized grid layout and clear sectioning
- + Logical pricing alignment and professional icons
- − Internal logic error: includes pizza photos under the 'Appetizers' heading
- − The text is gibberish/placeholder language
Wan 2.6
- + Strong 'vibrant accents' with the colorful geometric borders
- + High-quality, appetizing photography in the grid
- + Includes clear dollar signs for pricing
- − Layout feels a bit cluttered with redundant 'Pizza' headings
- − Several text rendering errors and overlapping characters
- − Section headers are less prominent than in the other model
Verdict: FLUX.2 [max] creates a much more professional and realistic menu layout that feels like a finished graphic design product, despite its confusion over which food photos go in which section. Wan 2.6 has more vibrant color accents and excellent photography, but suffers from significantly more text artifacts and a slightly less intuitive information hierarchy.
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 [max]
Wan 2.6
AI Judge Analysis
FLUX.2 [max]
- + Excellent photo-realism on the burger textures including the bun and patty.
- + Crystal clear typography that matches the requested fiery glow effect.
- + Clean and professional-looking starburst graphic for the price.
- − The 'exploded' effect is a bit static and vertically stacked.
- − The background is somewhat muted compared to the fiery prompt request.
Wan 2.6
- + Fantastic sense of motion and dynamic energy in the burger explosion.
- + Very strong adherence to the 'fiery background' and 'glowing embers' prompt.
- + Creative use of sauce drips and smoke to enhance the composition.
- − The pricing starburst looks a bit like a cartoon sticker compared to the photorealistic burger.
- − The 'MAGIC BURGER' text is slightly less legible due to the heavy fire effects.
Verdict: Both models performed exceptionally well, but FLUX.2 [max] is the winner for its superior text rendering and high-end commercial photography aesthetic. While Wan 2.6 captures the 'dynamic explosion' and fiery atmosphere better, FLUX.2 [max] produces a more polished and professional final advertisement with better integration of all graphic elements.
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 [max]
Wan 2.6
AI Judge Analysis
FLUX.2 [max]
- + Excellent text rendering with perfect spelling and punctuation.
- + Consistent chalk texture and realistic lighting across the whole image.
- + Strong adherence to the prompt's layout and content instructions.
- − The handwriting feels slightly too uniform, bordering on a digital font look in certain sections.
- − The lighting is a bit flat compared to the more atmospheric Model B.
Wan 2.6
- + Very authentic chalk texture with realistic smudges and dust on the frame.
- + Dynamic handwritten style with natural variations in letter size.
- + Good depth of field that contributes to a cozy café atmosphere.
- − Mild text inconsistencies, particularly in the spacing and slope of the 'TODAY'S SPECIALS' heading.
Verdict: FLUX.2 [max] produced a cleaner, more readable image with perfect adherence to the text requirements, though it feels a bit more structured and less 'random' than real chalk. Wan 2.6 achieved a much more realistic chalk texture and authentic café atmosphere, but the heading feels slightly less polished. FLUX.2 [max] is the winner for its flawless execution of the text-heavy prompt.
The Reversed Rodeo
Text-to-Image“Horse riding astronaut in space — horse on top, not vice versa. Surreal, highly detailed, cinematic.”
FLUX.2 [max]
Wan 2.6
AI Judge Analysis
FLUX.2 [max]
- + Excellent anatomical rendering of both horse and astronaut
- + Beautiful cinematic lighting and depth of field
- + Highly detailed background containing a spiral galaxy and realistic asteroid textures
- − Static composition feels less 'surreal' than the prompt might imply
Wan 2.6
- + Dynamic, energetic posing with the horse mid-gallop
- + Vibrant use of color in the nebula and reflections on the visor
- + Detailed horse tack and equipment textures
- − Slightly messy rendering of the reins and horse's mane
- − The lighting on the ground and horse doesn't perfectly match the space backdrop
Verdict: Both models failed the specific 'horse on top' spatial instruction, instead defaulting to the common trope of an astronaut riding a horse. FLUX.2 [max] produced a more polished, high-fidelity image with better lighting and cleaner details, whereas Wan 2.6 offered more movement but with more textural artifacts.
Outfit Transfer Challenge
EditingEdit 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 [max]
Wan 2.6
AI Judge Analysis
FLUX.2 [max]
- + Successfully replicates the specific plaid pattern and colors of the scarf from Image 2.
- + Includes all requested accessories like the watch and ring with excellent detail.
- + Maintains high fidelity to the subject's facial features and vitiligo patterns.
- − The color grade of the original background has been shifted to a more muted, brownish tone.
- − The lighting on the subject's face is slightly flatter compared to the original high-contrast sunlight.
Wan 2.6
- + Preserves the original sky and beach color grading more accurately than the competitor.
- + Cleverly includes the sunglasses from Image 2, which Model A omitted.
- − The scarf pattern is a generic red plaid rather than the specific green/red/white grid from Image 2.
- − The face has been altered significantly, losing the specific characteristic shape and details of the original person.
- − The hands and lower body details (jeans, belt, watch) are missing due to the tighter crop.
Verdict: FLUX.2 [max] is the winner because it successfully transferred the exact outfit and accessories, including the specific scarf pattern and jewelry, while maintaining the subject's identity perfectly. Although it slightly altered the background's color temperature, it followed the complex assembly instructions much better than Wan 2.6, which failed to replicate the specific clothing patterns and significantly changed the person's facial structure.
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 [max]
Wan 2.6
AI Judge Analysis
FLUX.2 [max]
- + Excellent anatomical integration of the capybara into the driver's seat
- + Highly realistic lighting and texture on the capybara's fur and the jacket
- + Superior interior detail including the dashboard and center console
- − The capybara's paws look more like black gloves than natural paws
- − The capybara wearing jeans is a bit of an odd anatomical stretch
Wan 2.6
- + The 'taxi driver cap' better matches the professional style requested
- + The woman's expression in the back perfectly captures the requested 'bored' look
- + Visible rain and window details add to the cinematic atmosphere
- − The capybara's paws on the wheel are poorly rendered with some artifacting
- − The scale of the capybara feels slightly too large for the vehicle
Verdict: Both models handled the complex prompt remarkably well, but FLUX.2 [max] achieved a higher level of photorealism in the lighting and fur textures. While Wan 2.6 better captured the specific 'bored' expression of the passenger and the classic style of the taxi hat, FLUX.2 [max] produced a more coherent and believable physical scene with superior rendering of the car's interior.
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 [max]
Wan 2.6
AI Judge Analysis
FLUX.2 [max]
- + Excellent typography with clean, legible text for all required information.
- + Very polished and professional layout that feels like a real invitation.
- + Strong atmosphere with cinematic lighting on the jack-o-lantern.
- − The parchment texture is less prominent than Model B's.
- − Background elements like the trees are a bit thin and sparse.
Wan 2.6
- + Rich, detailed illustration with very twisted, gnarled trees and thorns.
- + Vibrant color palette and strong 'vintage parchment' feel.
- + Creative use of a horizontal scroll banner.
- − Some text rendering issues, particularly the uneven font sizes and spacing in the main title.
- − The 'Date' text has some slight blurring/artifacting compared to Model A.
Verdict: Both models followed the prompt exceptionally well, including all specific text requirements. FLUX.2 [max] is the winner because its typography is significantly cleaner and more professional, making it more functional as a graphic design piece, whereas Wan 2.6 has slight irregularities in its text rendering despite having a more detailed background illustration.

AI Judge Analysis
FLUX.2 [max]
- + Excellent preservation of the original face and skin texture
- + Hair lighting matches the environmental light perfectly
- + Highly realistic stray hairs and flyaways
- − The hairline on the forehead looks slightly superimposed compared to the original skin
- − Smaller volume of hair compared to the request for 'full, thick'
Wan 2.6
- + Successfully added a very full, thick head of hair
- + Maintains the subject's overall likeness and facial structure
- + Matches hair color to the existing beard well
- − Subtle changes to the eyelid/eyebrow area compared to the source
- − The hair texture is slightly softer and more painterly than the sharp details of the source image
- − Small artifact where the hair meets the left temple
Verdict: FLUX.2 [max] did an incredible job of preserving the original image's fidelity, making the hair look naturally grown, though the volume is a bit conservative. Wan 2.6 provided a much thicker, more stylistic hairstyle that fits the 'full' requirement well, but it introduced very slight changes to the eyes and skin texture that drift away from the source image. FLUX.2 [max] is the winner for its superior realism and flawless preservation of the original's lighting and detail.
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 [max]
Wan 2.6
AI Judge Analysis
FLUX.2 [max]
- + Excellent adherence to the 'diorama base' prompt with a multi-tiered platform.
- + Very clean and professional typography with perfect spacing for 'JAPAN' and 'SUSHI'.
- + Soft, refined textures on the wooden board and sushi elements look high-quality.
- − The placement of the sushi rolls is slightly off-center on the plate.
- − The textures are a bit flat compared to the requested realistic PBR materials.
Wan 2.6
- + Better material rendering for the fish and rice, showcasing more 'PBR' style details.
- + Bolder, more vibrant colors that pop against the blue background.
- + Includes a shrimp (ebi) Nigiri which adds visual variety to the dish.
- − The text layout is slightly cluttered with the flag icon squeezed between the words.
- − The diorama base is a simple block, less interesting than the tiered design in Model A.
Verdict: Both models followed the prompt exceptionally well, producing clean, isometric 3D scenes. FLUX.2 [max] wins on composition and layout, particularly with its sophisticated tiered diorama base and cleaner typography, whereas Wan 2.6 has slightly better material textures for the food itself but a less balanced text arrangement.
Over-the-top cartoon caricature

AI Judge Analysis
FLUX.2 [max]
- + Excellent narrative composition combining all elements into a unified scene.
- + Strong preservation of facial features from the source image in the caricature style.
- + High level of detail in the background hockey rink and themed dog jerseys.
- − The denim jacket, while from the source, feels a bit casual for a 'TV anchor' persona compared to Model B.
Wan 2.6
- + Effective 'exaggerated' facial expression that fits the caricature request.
- + Clearly depicts both the TV studio setting and the anchor profession with a suit and headset.
- + Integrates the hockey stick and puck directly into the foreground action.
- − The facial resemblance to the source image is significantly weaker than Model A.
- − Structural issues with the hockey stick passing behind the character's arm but appearing in front of the hand.
Verdict: FLUX.2 [max] is the winner because it successfully carries over the subject's specific facial features into the caricature while brilliantly weaving the news anchor, hockey, and dogs into a single coherent 'Hockey Night' broadcast concept. Wan 2.6 captures the 'exaggerated' spirit well and uses more professional attire, but it loses the likeness of the original woman and has some confusing perspective issues with the hockey stick.
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 [max]
Wan 2.6
AI Judge Analysis
FLUX.2 [max]
- + Excellent anatomical proportions and grounded poses
- + Better integration of the animals within the meadow environment
- + More realistic dew sparkles and atmospheric depth
- − Lighting is a bit muted and hazy compared to the 'golden sunrise' request
- − The rabbit looks slightly more like a plush toy than the other realistic animals
Wan 2.6
- + Captures the 'golden sunrise' and 'god rays' lighting much better
- + Displays more dynamic, joyful expressions on the animals' faces
- + High-contrast colors make the subjects pop
- − Noticeable anatomical issues including a floating fox paw and the cat's leg positioning
- − The butterflies have slightly messy wing anatomy
- − The kitten's tail looks unnaturally attached
Verdict: FLUX.2 [max] produced a more coherent and technically polished image with realistic fur and grounded interactions, whereas Wan 2.6 better captured the specific lighting and joyful mood of the prompt. However, Wan 2.6 suffers from significant anatomical errors (floating paws and strange leg joints) that make FLUX.2 [max] the superior choice for a high-quality masterpiece.

FLUX.2 [max]
- + Excellent Ghibli-inspired aesthetic with warm, grainy paper texture.
- + Preserves the composition and poses of the iconic meme perfectly.
- + Soft, pastel color palette and gentle lighting match the prompt beautifully.
- − The woman in the foreground's facial expression is a bit generic compared to the original.
Wan 2.6
- + High-quality watercolor texture with visible hand-painted linework.
- + Great character designs that balance realism with a Studio Ghibli anime style.
- + Strong adherence to the requested high-key lighting for a dreamy look.
- − Added white sparkles/dust can feel a bit distracting from the main subject.
- − The man's expression is slightly more neutral/sad than the 'distracted' look of the original.
Verdict: Both models did an exceptional job translating a famous photographic meme into a specific art style while maintaining the composition. FLUX.2 [max] captures the nostalgic, warm atmosphere of a 90s Ghibli film more accurately, whereas Wan 2.6 leans more toward a modern watercolor manga illustration style. FLUX.2 [max] is the winner for its superior blend of lighting and texture that feels more authentic to the requested 'warm, nostalgic mood'.

AI Judge Analysis
FLUX.2 [max]
- + Successfully added a large volume of flying leaves across the scene.
- + Clearly depicted hair blowing strongly in the wind.
- + Maintained the overall composition and character likeness well.
- − Introduced a slight mutation to the subject's left hand (fingers appear messy).
- − The leaves are static and lacks motion blur, making them look like they are 'stuck' to the air.
Wan 2.6
- + Excellent hair physics that feels more natural and voluminous.
- + Better preservation of the subject's anatomy, including the hands.
- + Added fewer but more tastefully placed flying leaves.
- − Fewer leaves than requested, which reduces the 'energetic and lively' feel compared to the other model.
Verdict: Both models followed the instructions well, successfully adding wind-blown hair and flying leaves while keeping the source image mostly intact. FLUX.2 [max] captures the 'lively' energy better with a high density of leaves, but it introduces a visible artifact on the woman's left hand. Wan 2.6 is the superior choice because it achieves the requested motion effect with much higher global coherence and preserved details, despite having fewer flying leaves.

- + Perfect text rendering for both the name and the date banner.
- + Excellent composition with a professional emblem circular frame.
- + Subtle, realistic paper texture that adds to the vintage feel.
- − The line weight of the steam is a bit thin compared to the rest of the illustration.
Wan 2.6
- + Strong contrast and bold vector style.
- + Accurate text rendering of the brand name.
- − The 'Est. 1720' banner is awkwardly placed and partially overlaps the cloche.
- − Heavy grunge texture on the edges feels a bit generic compared to the requested minimalist style.
- − Composition is less balanced than the circular emblem.
Verdict: FLUX.2 [max] produced a much more polished and professional logo that perfectly followed all prompt instructions, including the specific banner request. Wan 2.6 created a decent graphic but struggled with the placement of the banner and the overall balance of a minimalist emblem.
Apollo 11: Journey to Tranquility

FLUX.2 [max]
- + Follows the complex 6-step infographic structure perfectly with clear icons for each stage.
- + Excellent text rendering with accurate spelling for 'Apollo 11 Mission' and astronaut names.
- + Consistently follows the flat-vector style and NASA-inspired color palette.
- − Minor spelling error in 'Tranquiity' (missing 'i') and 'Translunar' icon shows a moon instead of a trajectory arc.
- − The sequence of steps in the grid is slightly non-linear, jumping from top-right to middle-left.
Wan 2.6
- + Clean, minimalist aesthetic with a good color palette.
- + Correctly identifies the three astronauts by name.
- − Completely failed to include the requested 6-step infographic content.
- − The text 'ARMSTRONG' overlaps with the silhouette edges, reducing legibility.
- − The design is more of a book cover than an informative infographic poster.
Verdict: FLUX.2 [max] significantly outperformed Wan 2.6 by actually creating the requested 6-step infographic with high-quality icons and accurate labels. Wan 2.6 ignored almost all the specific instructions regarding the mission steps, resulting in a minimalist poster that lacks the required complexity and educational value.
