  As I looked through the images I was unimpressed entirely, at first. But, then I started thinking, these look a little... "childish" to me.Childish as in... A newish artist who is drawing a concept rather than light / forms (Which is something artists typically do as they understand drawing more and more).The rose in the vase specifically - some models understood that there was supposed to be shading, reflections, the concept of refraction - others just drew "blue = glass" and "green = stem" and "red = rose".Really odd to look at, considering if I saw any of these drawings from a human kid, I would say "good job buddy" and put it on the fridge. I'm expecting these to get better as models improve, and perhaps the artistic progression will be there along with it...

  GPT 5.6 Sol had the best two drawings (rose and starry nights) but even more impressive was how efficient it was RE cost/time/tokens vs Fable (3.4M vs 14.6M / $7.74 vs $161!). OpenAI has quietly innovated around inference - this is will be a growing differentiator even against open models.

  The Grok ones are amusing, almost comically bad. However, whenever I've tried to pass an image creation request to any of the Opus models, it's been far worse, like first week of using Microsoft Paint bad (while ChatGPT would create social media quality images using the same prompts)

  Grok! LOL!Seriously, what's going on there ? Why is it so different from others? Is it just behind technologically/training wise or it's using something fundamentally different?

  GPT-5.6 Sol is the knock out here. Some of those results are really human/charming.The rectangular smudge tool is a weird tool in the first place, but it's cute to see the models try to use it.

  The Grok ones are so weird that they cross into uncanny and surreal. Truly bizarre and capable of eliciting feelings from me, if only bad feelings…

  Would be great to see Kimi here.

  Grok's look like a truly disturbed child. Like the drawings from that kid in "The Ring".

  I wonder how much better a harness could get for drawing

  I think this is just an ad.

  Would love to see the results if they had used /goal or similar
• LastTrain
  Why include Grok when it is clearly not even in the same category as the other three?

  Claude was clearly 'pushing back' on the coziness of the cabin. But I think it did best with the cat. Grok, I fear, is making a case for euthanasia. It's suffering and I think it would be cruel to let it continue. Someone pull the plug. .

  I very much enjoyed Grok 4.5's rendition of the Mona Lisa as Elon Musk with tentacles.

  The difference in cost is pretty incredible.
• reactordev
  Should have compared against FLUX Klein and Z-Image Turbo...

  Useless They are not image generation models.

  Now add Deepseek, GLM and Kimi :-)
• Razengan
  Now this is a cool test. Sol's the best in each one, while Grok looks like the work of that person who "fixed" that Jesus painting..

  Tell them to draw LeBron James or Heisenberg. Everyone will refuse.
