Same scene, 30 art styles, 8 local models on a Mac (mflux): Qwen-Image 2.1, FLUX.2 Klein, Krea 2, Z-Image, Ming-Image, FIBO 1.5, ERNIE, Boogu

I got into text-to-image when Qwen-Image 2.1 came out, and started playing with it on my Mac with mflux 0.22.

Key points

  • I was impressed by how many art styles it could pull off, so I ran one simple prompt through it with only the art style changed, 30 times.
  • Then I got curious how the other models would handle the same 30 styles.
  • I like Qwen-Image 2.1 best, though I may be biased since it's what got me started.
  • Qwen-Image 2.1 25, step cache 0.4 ~53 s
