Will be interesting to see if they release the weights for local deployments. I love running Flux2 locally via ComfyUI.
Why would they want to deal with the amount of bad press they'll get for unsavory porn? Look at what happened to Grok.
Looks like this model is meaningfully less good than gpt-image-2. Arena.ai score is 1263 vs 1380. https://arena.ai/leaderboard/text-to-image
Everything is less good than gpt-2-image and I suspect that will be the case for awhile, until potentially Nano Banana Pro 2. However, cost is significantly lower in this case. A Pro image here is $0.04, a gpt-2-image high is $0.21 and lower resolution.

gpt-2-image has such a yellow tinge though. It stands out badly on nearly any screen. The image quality is great otherwise, but I generally prefer nano banana for its color balance.
Here's a quick trend of the "piss filter" in the gpt image series:
Pretty annoying user experience trying to test out the model on the official Qwen site. You get an immediate popup with "Security Notice: For security purposes, please add a payment method" that blocks you from clicking anywhere. Honestly if you're launching a new model, you should probably just make it free for the 24 hours after launch so people can test it out. Otherwise just wait till it's on openrouter.
Qwen lost some key people after 3.6 and it looks like we're seeing the consequences of that, or perhaps the cause.

I doubt any labs will be releasing weights for frontier image models. Why would they want to deal with the amount of bad press they'll get for unsavory porn? Look at what happened to Grok.

As I’ve said before, I wouldn’t put a lot of stock in Arena’s scoring system. They have MAI Image 2.5 ranked above Gemini Nano Banana Pro, and maybe that’s true on paper but good luck using it. Microsoft’s censorship makes Google feel like the wild west by comparison. They also have Meta’s Muse Image ranked above NB Pro, which is just patently absurd. In my own GenAI benchmark it only managed a lackluster 7 passes ou…
The photo rankings on this page are so absurd that the only reasonable explanation is that they were judged by an AI.
