FLUX.2 [dev]

Editor pending · AI 4.0 · $0.012 · 4.7 s (2.9 s generating)

AI judge: Clean, buildable concrete box with straight verticals, strong cool blue sky against warm interior light and a rectangular pool. Only the ground floor has floor-to-ceiling glazing, and the pool reflection shows the lit ground floor but omits the upper volume, which is not fully consistent.

FLUX.2 [pro]

Editor pending · AI 4.7 · $0.030 · 11.0 s

AI judge: Two-story concrete and glass house at blue hour with warm glowing floor-to-ceiling glazing and a rectangular pool reflecting the house. Verticals are straight and the geometry is buildable, with the upper floor neatly stacked. Minor softness in interior details only.

GPT Image 2

Editor pending · AI 3.7 · $0.171 · 87.3 s

AI judge: Modern concrete and glass house at blue hour with warm interior light and a pool in front, framed with straight verticals. The pool shows mostly light points and barely reflects the house. The large unsupported roof overhang on the left and the glass railing that extends past the facade edge look questionable.

Grok Imagine 2.0

Editor pending · AI 4.3 · $0.060 · 51.8 s

AI judge: Two-story concrete and glass house at blue hour with warm floor-to-ceiling glazing and a rectangular pool whose reflection matches the facade. Verticals are straight and the cantilevered slabs are plausible, though the right-hand column/portico structure is muddled and the upper glass railing reads oddly.

Ideogram V4.5

Editor pending · AI 4.7 · $0.060 · 8.5 s

AI judge: Symmetric architectural framing with straight verticals, a buildable cantilevered concrete upper volume, warm floor-to-ceiling glazing and a deep blue-hour sky. The rectangular pool and minimal landscaping are present. The pool reflects only the ground floor and is small relative to the house.

Krea 2 Turbo

Editor pending · AI 4.3 · $0.0080 · 2.8 s (1.0 s generating)

AI judge: Buildable two-story concrete box with floor-to-ceiling glazing, cool blue sky against warm interiors and straight frontal verticals. The rectangular pool is cropped close and its reflection only loosely matches the facade; landscaping is minimal as requested.

Nano Banana Pro

Editor pending · AI 4.7 · $0.150 · 19.6 s

AI judge: Board-formed concrete and glass two-story house at blue hour with warm interiors, a long rectangular pool and minimal desert landscaping. The pool reflection closely matches the facade, including the window grid and staircase, and verticals are straight. Geometry is buildable, with only slight oddities at the cantilevered side volumes.

Qwen Image 3

Editor pending · AI 3.7 · $0.040 · 13.3 s

AI judge: A plausible L-shaped two-story concrete and glass house with strong blue-hour contrast and warm interiors, and a reflection that roughly matches. The pool is not rectangular (its coping is irregular and skewed), the low wide angle makes the verticals converge, and the landscaping is heavier than minimal.

Recraft V4.1

Editor pending · AI 4.7 · $0.035 · 9.5 s

AI judge: Convincing two-story concrete and glass house at blue hour with warm interiors, a rectangular pool and minimal landscaping. Geometry is buildable and verticals straight. The pool reflection shows mainly the ground floor and is a bit smeared, not a full match to the house.

Seedream 5.0 Pro

Editor pending · AI 5.0 · $0.101 · 44.3 s

AI judge: Buildable stacked concrete volumes with aligned floors, floor-to-ceiling glazing glowing warm against a blue-hour sky. The long rectangular pool reflection matches the window grid and lights well; verticals are straight and the landscaping is minimal.
