Fair points, thank you for the very thoughtful feedback! "Alexandrian who found area from mere sides" is a bad hint because it is fairly obscure, and really just a history trivia check. And the image is a bit random. You can view the explanation for the hint by clicking the ? button in the upper right corner after a word is completed if you are curious about the models reasoning.

As a bit of an explanation I generated these before Nano banana pro came out, and at the time I made a large comparison grid for various image and text models. For this style qwen image performed very well. LLM wise I started with 5.1 and updated to 5.2. Of course with the rate of model release my choices are pretty much already obsolete... Expense is also a factor for a hobby project, and NB pro is 7.5x more expensive than Qwen image.

Yeah understandable. If you've got the hardware for it, consider looking into Flux.2 Dev with the Turbo LoRA. It's probably the best-in-class for sheer prompt adherence right now, though Qwen-Image is still very respectable.

And of course, we should see Qwen-Image 2.0 become open-weight in 4-6 weeks as well - so good things on the horizon!

Yep, I need to compare the new models and update everything. Foolish of me to generate ahead at all!
