Looks about what you'd get with FLUX and attaching some language model to enhance your prompt with eg more text
I'm excited to see what a Flux 2 can do if it can actually use a modern text encoder.
EDIT: Seems not, "The smallest image size I can generate is 1024x1024. Would you like me to proceed with that, or would you like a different approach?"

Flux 1.1 Pro has good prompt adherence, but some of these (admittingly cherry-picked) GPT-4o generated image demos are beyond what you would get with Flux without a lot of iteration, particularly the large paragraphs of text. I'm excited to see what a Flux 2 can do if it can actually use a modern text encoder.
The image generators used by creatives will not be text-first.
"Dragon with brown leathery scales with an elephant texture and 10% reflectivity positioned three degrees under the mountain, which is approximately 250 meters taller than the next peak, ..." is not how you design.
Creative work is not 100% dice rolling in a crude and inadequate language. Encoding spatial and qualitative details is impossible. "A picture is worth a thousand words" is an understatement.
ofc 4.5 is best, but its slow and I am afraid I'm going to hit limits.
Did they time it with the Gemini 2.5 launch? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43473489 Was it public information when Google was going to launch their new models? Interesting timing.
LPT: while the benchmarks don't show it, chatGPT4>4o. It amazes me people use 4o at all. But hey its the brand name and its free. ofc 4.5 is best, but its slow and I am afraid I'm going to hit limits.
OpenAI's livestream of GPT-4o Image Generation shows that it is slowwwwwwwwww (maybe 30 seconds per image, which Sam Altman had to spin "it's slow but the generated images are worth it"). Instead of using a diffusion approach, it appears to be generating the image tokens and decoding them akin to the original DALL-E ( https://openai.com/index/dall-e/ ), which allows for streaming partial generations from top to botto…
