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.”

LongCat-Image
Qwen Image 2.0

AI Judge Analysis

LongCat-Image

  • + Excellent refraction and reflection on the glass cube surfaces.
  • + Realistic rendering of the blue sphere sitting naturally at the bottom.
  • + Accurate soft window lighting from the left.
  • The glass top of the cube appears slightly merged with the book cover.

Qwen Image 2.0

  • + Strong prompt adherence regarding object placement.
  • + High texture detail on the red book cover.
  • The blue sphere is floating unnaturally in the center of the cube.
  • Confusing reflections inside the cube create the illusion of multiple spheres.
  • The glass cube has an extra vertical support line in the middle that isn't physically coherent.

Verdict: LongCat-Image produces a much more realistic result with convincing physics; the ball sits on the bottom of the cube and the glass refractions are consistent with the environment. Qwen Image 2.0 struggles with the internal logic of the scene, showing the ball floating and creating nonsensical reflections and structures within the glass cube.

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.”

LongCat-Image
Qwen Image 2.0

AI Judge Analysis

LongCat-Image

  • + Excellent cinematic atmosphere and lighting
  • + Beautiful reflections and rainy aesthetic
  • + Accurately represents 'light rain' and 'motion blur' from cars
  • The red bicycle is physically impossible with a detached front wheel and broken frame geometry
  • The man's scale relative to the bike feels slightly off
  • Less 'natural skin texture' detail on the face compared to Model B

Qwen Image 2.0

  • + Highly realistic skin textures, age spots, and facial details
  • + The bicycle structure is much more coherent and believable
  • + Effective 'imperfect framing' that enhances the candid street photography feel
  • The background car lacks the requested motion blur
  • The rain is barely visible, appearing more like 'post-rain' than 'in rain'
  • The crop is a bit tight on the subject's head

Verdict: While LongCat-Image excels at the cinematic atmosphere, lighting, and environmental effects like rain and motion blur, it fails significantly on the physical logic of the bicycle. Qwen Image 2.0 provides a much more grounded and realistic image with superior skin textures and a functional-looking bike, though it misses the motion blur requirement. Qwen Image 2.0 is the preferred choice for its photographic realism and coherent anatomy.

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.”

LongCat-Image
Qwen Image 2.0

AI Judge Analysis

LongCat-Image

  • + Excellent depiction of ornate engraved plate armor with high-fidelity metal reflections.
  • + Perfectly captures the 'braided hair with small beads' prompt instruction.
  • + Clean and balanced composition with cinematic bokeh.
  • The character looks a bit too pristine and youthful for the 'battle-worn' description.
  • The scars look like surface-level scratches rather than deep battle scars.

Qwen Image 2.0

  • + Superb 'battle-worn' aesthetic with grit, deep skin texture, and aged features.
  • + Highly detailed texture on the leather pauldron and cloth layers.
  • + Authentic hair braiding and excellent 'warm torchlight' atmosphere.
  • The hand placement on the sword hilt appears slightly awkward and anatomically distorted.
  • The eyes, while striking, look more supernatural than 'lifelike'.

Verdict: LongCat-Image produces a very clean, beautiful image with superior armor engravings and lighting, but the character lacks the ruggedness implied by 'battle-worn'. Qwen Image 2.0 much better captures the grit, scars, and texture of a veteran soldier, making it more faithful to the spirit of the prompt despite a slight issue with hand anatomy.

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.”

LongCat-Image
Qwen Image 2.0

AI Judge Analysis

LongCat-Image

  • + Includes all requested text sections like Pizza and Mains
  • + Uses vibrant blue and yellow accents well
  • + Effective use of vertical layout and varied photo sizes
  • Text is highly garbled and unreadable
  • Layout feels a bit cluttered compared to a minimalist aesthetic
  • Some food images have unnatural cropping

Qwen Image 2.0

  • + Strong adherence to the minimalist prompt with a very clean grid
  • + Excellent text legibility for the main section headers
  • + Consistent high-quality food photography throughout the grid
  • The 'Mains' column contains more pizza images, reducing variety
  • Text below the images is gibberish
  • The layout is somewhat repetitive

Verdict: Qwen Image 2.0 provides a much cleaner, more professional menu design that better fits the 'minimalist' and 'grid' descriptors in the prompt. While LongCat-Image attempted a more complex layout with specific subsections, the text legibility and overall aesthetic were inferior to Qwen Image 2.0's polished execution.

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.”

LongCat-Image
Qwen Image 2.0

AI Judge Analysis

LongCat-Image

  • + Excellent graphic design layout for a marketing ad
  • + Vibrant and clean text rendering with high readability
  • + Strong use of the starburst element requested in the prompt
  • Failed the 'exploded' instruction as the burger is mostly assembled
  • The lighting on the burger feels a bit flat compared to the fiery background

Qwen Image 2.0

  • + Successfully captured the 'exploded' effect with suspended components
  • + Highly photorealistic textures on the patty and vegetables
  • + Beautiful fiery typography that integrates well with the smoke and embers
  • The price starburst is tucked into a corner rather than being a focal point
  • Slightly less 'commercial' layout compared to LongCat-Image

Verdict: Both models followed the complex prompt very well, but Qwen Image 2.0 is the winner for better adhering to the 'exploded burger' requirement while maintaining superior photorealistic textures and atmospheric integration. LongCat-Image produced a very polished advertisement layout, but the burger itself remained largely intact, missing the core creative direction of the prompt.

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.”

LongCat-Image
Qwen Image 2.0

AI Judge Analysis

LongCat-Image

  • + Excellent chalk board texture with realistic smudges and dust at the base.
  • + Good bokeh effect on the background café scene.
  • Severe spelling errors throughout the entire board, failing to render the requested text accurately.
  • The title font is messy and overlaps awkwardly, reducing legibility.

Qwen Image 2.0

  • + Perfect adherence to text prompts with near-flawless spelling and realistic handwriting style.
  • + Beautiful lighting and shadows that enhance the 'cozy café' atmosphere.
  • + Highly realistic chalk texture featuring authentic erasure marks and variations in pressure.
  • One minor hyphen placement after 'Cookies' is slightly redundant.

Verdict: Qwen Image 2.0 is the clear winner as it successfully rendered every requested menu item with perfect spelling and a highly realistic handwritten aesthetic. LongCat-Image struggled significantly with text generation, producing gibberish for most of the menu items despite having a nice overall composition.

The Reversed Rodeo

Text-to-Image

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

LongCat-Image
Qwen Image 2.0

AI Judge Analysis

LongCat-Image

  • + Strong cinematic lighting and atmosphere.
  • + Good anatomical proportions for the horse and astronaut.
  • Failed the core prompt instruction of 'horse on top' of the astronaut.
  • Contains random artifacts like a distorted airplane in space.

Qwen Image 2.0

  • + Beautiful surreal textures like the metallic scales on the horse.
  • + High visual quality with clean details and no obvious artifacts.
  • Failed the negative constraint; the astronaut is riding the horse instead of being beneath it.
  • The pose is somewhat generic for this cliché prompt despite the 'horse on top' instruction.

Verdict: Both LongCat-Image and Qwen Image 2.0 completely failed to follow the specific spatial instruction 'horse on top, not vice versa,' instead producing the standard 'astronaut riding a horse' trope. Qwen Image 2.0 is the overall better image due to its superior artistic detail, surreal textures, and lack of the messy background artifacts found in LongCat-Image.

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.”

LongCat-Image
Qwen Image 2.0

AI Judge Analysis

LongCat-Image

  • + Features a more cinematic composition with two passengers which adds to the narrative
  • + Includes realistic exterior details like the taxi roof sign
  • + The capybara's expression is very calm and fits the prompt well
  • The capybara only has one paw on the wheel instead of two as requested
  • The passenger's hand holding the phone has anatomical issues
  • The capybara seems to be merging into the dark jacket awkwardly

Qwen Image 2.0

  • + Successfully placed both front paws on the steering wheel as requested
  • + Excellent texture on the capybara's fur and the jacket
  • + The bored expression of the passenger is perfectly executed
  • The passenger is seated in the front passenger seat rather than the back seat as requested
  • The steering wheel and dashboard details are slightly warped

Verdict: Qwen Image 2.0 captures the specific physiological details of the capybara driving with two paws and high-resolution textures better than LongCat-Image. However, LongCat-Image better understands spatial placement by putting the passengers in the back seat, even though it failed the requirement of having both paws on the wheel. Qwen Image 2.0 is the likely winner for its superior realism and adherence to the character's interaction with the car.

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.”

LongCat-Image
Qwen Image 2.0

AI Judge Analysis

LongCat-Image

  • + Excellent typography style for the main title
  • + High-contrast cinematic lighting on the jack-o-lantern
  • + Clean parchment paper aesthetic with sharp thorn border
  • Serious spelling errors in the bottom address ('The Armiees')
  • Redundant time text at the bottom ('7pm' listed twice)
  • Text placement is cluttered at the base

Qwen Image 2.0

  • + Perfect text accuracy for all details including the location
  • + Superior composition with balanced trees and a central scroll
  • + Higher artistic quality with a moody, foggy atmosphere and full border
  • The main title font is slightly more condensed, making it harder to read
  • Minor 'ghosting' artifact on the 'w' in Halloween

Verdict: Qwen Image 2.0 is the clear winner as it correctly rendered all technical text requirements, including the location 'The Arches', whereas LongCat-Image hallucinated the spelling of the location and repeated the time. Qwen Image 2.0 also felt more like a cohesive poster with a better-integrated layout and atmosphere.

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.”

LongCat-Image
Qwen Image 2.0

AI Judge Analysis

LongCat-Image

  • + Excellent 3D miniature/cartoon aesthetic with clean, soft textures.
  • + Very high quality text rendering and logo placement.
  • + Strong adherence to the 'diorama' and 'isometric' style requested.
  • The sushi rice grains look slightly like bubbles or beads rather than rice.
  • The garnish is very minimal compared to the other model.

Qwen Image 2.0

  • + More realistic food textures and varied sushi types.
  • + Clear and accurately positioned text with a large flag icon.
  • + Higher detail in the wood grain of the diorama base.
  • Lacks the 'cartoon' miniature style requested in the prompt, appearing more like a standard photo.
  • The lighting is a bit flat compared to the stylized depth of the first image.

Verdict: LongCat-Image captured the '3D cartoon scene' and 'isometric miniature' elements of the prompt much more effectively, creating a cohesive stylized look. While Qwen Image 2.0 provided more realistic food textures, it failed to reflect the specific artistic style requested, making LongCat-Image the winner for better prompt adherence.

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.”

LongCat-Image
Qwen Image 2.0

AI Judge Analysis

LongCat-Image

  • + Excellent use of god rays and vibrant golden hour lighting.
  • + Clear individual rendering of all four requested animals.
  • Anatomical failure on the kitten which has large rabbit-like ears.
  • The style leans more toward a stylized digital illustration than hyper-photorealism.
  • The butterflies appear flat and pasted onto the scene.

Qwen Image 2.0

  • + Successfully captures a 'tumbling' and 'playful' interaction between the species.
  • + High degree of photorealism in the fur textures and lighting.
  • + Anatomically correct representation of all four animals.
  • The fox kit is a bit obscured by the other animals in the huddle.
  • The kitten has an extra paw visible during the tumbling.

Verdict: Qwen Image 2.0 significantly outperforms LongCat-Image by delivering a truly photorealistic scene that captures the requested 'tumbling' behavior. LongCat-Image fails on basic anatomy by merging the kitten and bunny features, creating a hybrid creature with rabbit ears on a cat body.

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.”

LongCat-Image
Qwen Image 2.0

AI Judge Analysis

LongCat-Image

  • + Strong vintage woodcut/hand-drawn style
  • + Accurate representation of the requested banner and steam
  • + Good use of subtle background texture
  • Redundant text with 'Caffè' appearing twice
  • Slightly cluttered composition with the 'Caffè' text overlapping the steam and cloche

Qwen Image 2.0

  • + Clean vector-style execution with smooth gradients
  • + Elegant and balanced layout typical of a modern-retro logo
  • + Legible and clean typography with no spelling errors
  • Steam appears to be 'on' the cloche rather than coming from it
  • Lacks the 'subtle texture' on the background compared to Model A

Verdict: LongCat-Image captures the vintage/retro aesthetic more authentically with its woodcut-like textures and hand-drawn feel, but suffers from repetitive text elements. Qwen Image 2.0 provides a much cleaner, professional-looking vector emblem, though it is slightly less adventurous with the background texture. Qwen Image 2.0 is the overall winner for its clarity and superior design balance.

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.”

LongCat-Image
Qwen Image 2.0

AI Judge Analysis

LongCat-Image

  • + Successfully uses the requested NASA-inspired color palette.
  • + Includes unique decorative elements like the astronaut silhouettes and flag icons.
  • Fails to follow the sequential instructional steps requested in the prompt.
  • Contains significant text gibberish and overlapping graphic elements.
  • Incorrectly depicts multiple shuttles instead of the Saturn V rocket.

Qwen Image 2.0

  • + Perfectly follows all 6 instructional steps in the correct order.
  • + Renders legible text for every stage of the mission.
  • + Features a much cleaner and more professional flat-vector aesthetic.
  • Contains a minor typo in the word 'Translunjar'.
  • The Saturn V icon is very small and lacks detail compared to other elements.

Verdict: Qwen Image 2.0 is the clear winner as it strictly follows the instructional flow of the prompt, including all six specific steps with legible labels. LongCat-Image fails to create a logical infographic, displaying garbled text and a generic layout that ignores the requested sequence.
