AI judge: "Maison Clair" in gold and "Fresh croissants" on the chalkboard are exact, and the two bistro chairs are complete and grounded. The chalkboard also carries garbled filler text below the headline. The facade perspective is consistent, but the overall image is flatter and less refined.

FLUX.2 [pro]

Editor pending · AI 4.8 · $0.030 · 10.2 s

AI judge: Both fascia signs read exactly "Maison Clair" and the chalkboard reads exactly "Fresh croissants". Corner facade, door and windows share a consistent perspective and the two folding bistro chairs are grounded, though their crossed legs are slightly simplified.

GPT Image 2

Editor pending · AI 4.8 · $0.171 · 96.6 s

AI judge: Gold "Maison Clair" and chalkboard "Fresh croissants" are both exact, on a convincing dark green corner facade with one consistent perspective. Both bistro chairs are complete and grounded. Minor flaw: the unrequested window lettering misspells the first letter of PATISSERIES.

Grok Imagine 2.0

Editor pending · AI 4.8 · $0.060 · 89.2 s

AI judge: The gold lettering reads exactly Maison Clair and the chalkboard reads exactly Fresh croissants. The dark green corner facade with large windows shares one consistent perspective, and two complete rattan bistro chairs sit properly grounded. Fine details in the shop interior are slightly mushy.

Ideogram V4.5

Editor pending · AI 3.8 · $0.060 · 11.0 s

AI judge: Gold Maison Clair lettering is exact, but the chalkboard reads Fresh Croissants with a capital C instead of Fresh croissants. The dark green facade has consistent perspective, though the corner setting is weak and the windows are modest in size. The two bistro chairs and the table have tangled, overlapping legs.

Krea 2 Turbo

Editor pending · AI 3.8 · $0.0080 · 3.9 s (1.0 s generating)

AI judge: Facade reads exactly "Maison Clair" and the chalkboard starts with "Fresh croissants", but it adds garbled pseudo-text lines and the door has unreadable gibberish. Perspective is consistent and the two bistro chairs are complete and grounded.

Nano Banana Pro

Editor pending · AI 4.3 · $0.150 · 19.1 s

AI judge: Script lettering reads exactly "Maison Clair" and the chalkboard has "Fresh croissants" correct, but it adds unrequested "Coffee" and "Pastries" lines. Beautiful, consistent corner-facade perspective, though there are more than two bistro chairs outside.

Qwen Image 3

Editor pending · AI 4.8 · $0.040 · 50.2 s

AI judge: Gold "Maison Clair" above the door and a chalkboard reading "Fresh croissants" are both exact and legible. Dark green corner facade with large windows and two bistro chairs shares one consistent perspective; minor softness in the chair weave detail.

Recraft V4.1

Editor pending · AI 4.8 · $0.035 · 10.4 s

AI judge: Gold lettering reads exactly "Maison Clair" and the chalkboard reads exactly "Fresh croissants". Dark green corner facade, large windows and door share one consistent perspective; two rattan bistro chairs are complete and grounded, plus a small table.

Seedream 5.0 Pro

Editor pending · AI 5.0 · $0.101 · 31.6 s

AI judge: Gold lettering reads exactly "Maison Clair" and the chalkboard reads exactly "Fresh croissants" with a croissant drawing. Dark green facade, large windows and two rattan bistro chairs are well grounded with consistent perspective and natural street light.
