    If I had a nickel for every model card, repo, or spec posted here that had zero samples of the actual output, I could probably start financing a rack of MI455Xs.

      I prefer no samples over cherry picked samples, though.

        Really? You prefer not to see the top end of the distribution? Why?

      OpenAI does surprisingly well in this regard with their blog posts, and I'm more of an Anthropic fanboy. I wish most tech releases for AI were as well done as OpenAIs they actually showcase what they've built, honestly, if I had to compare it to another company, I wouldn't be surprised if former Apple employees are doing OpenAI's press briefings. Whoever does press briefings at Apple, they are worth their weight in gold.

        The last chief communications officer of OpenAI used to work at Apple for 7 years according to her linkedin.

          As I was writing this it dawned on me, and I had a feeling someone would confirm. :)

          I am not a Sam Altman fan, but I do give him credit where its due, their press briefings are chef's kiss.

    Looks like this model is meaningfully less good than gpt-image-2. Arena.ai score is 1263 vs 1380.

      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.
        • vunderbaan hour ago
          True but it’s at least addressable with some basic tone-mapping changes. It’s easier to correct an issue like this than to deal with an image that simply doesn’t follow your prompt.

          Here's a quick trend of the "piss filter" in the gpt image series:

            Not a great test case, considering how much of the artwork in-distribution for that type of image will have age-yellowed lacquer.

      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 out of 15. Even the open‑weight Ideogram 4 scored higher than that.

      For reference, here’s GPT‑Image‑2, NB Pro, and Muse compared:

        The photo rankings on this page are so absurd that the only reasonable explanation is that they were judged by an AI.
        • minimaxir41 minutes ago
          The rankings are for prompt adherence, not subjective quality.
    • DANmodean hour ago
      Less than 10% is meaningful?

      If these were processors, I wouldn’t spend another hundred on the faster one…

      • minimaxiran hour ago
        The scores are pairwise ELO rankings, not simple metric scores.

    Also available on OpenRouter (whose image output support is getting better): https://openrouter.ai/qwen/qwen-image-3-pro

    is this going to get released on huggingface or is it cloud/hosted only?
    • pixelesquean hour ago
      They promised weights for Qwen Image 2 around 6 months ago and there's still nothing, so wouldn't get your hopes up...
    • vunderbaan hour ago
      Given that Qwen Image 2 didn’t even get an open-weight release, I really doubt we’re going to see any kind of open release for it. They seem to have completely shifted over to proprietary models sadly.
    • uniclaude2 hours ago
      The page lists it as "No" for open source, so I wouldn't hold my breath.
      • cubefox2 hours ago
        The page does not mention open source.

          >The page does not mention open source.

          on the right-hand side, it says:

          "Version Tag: MAJOR

          Open Source: No

          Updated: Jul 20, 2026"

          • cubefox2 hours ago
            It doesn't for me.
            • DANmodean hour ago
              Are you on mobile? Doesn’t seem to show on mobile.
              • cubefoxan hour ago
                Yes, even if I enable "desktop mode".
  • saltysaltan hour ago
    Will be interesting to see if they release the weights for local deployments. I love running Flux2 locally via ComfyUI.
    • Eueudhsbsj32an hour ago
      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.

    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.

    • CamperBob2an hour ago
      Not a great time to release a pile of closed-weight excuses and locked gates when MiniMax-H3 just dropped.

      Qwen lost some key people after 3.6 and it looks like we're seeing the consequences of that, or perhaps the cause.

    • bayesianbotan hour ago
      And now you got 90% of the people saying the model sucks as it timed out while serving them

    Old news, no?
    • minimaxir2 hours ago
      The model was added to OpenRouter yesterday.
