Qwen-Image-2512 Tops Open-Source AI Image Rankings

Qwen-Image-2512 achieves top rankings in open-source AI image generation benchmarks, surpassing competitors with superior visual quality and prompt adherence

Someone tested Qwen-Image-2512 in over 10,000 blind comparisons and it turned out to be the top-ranked open-source image generator right now.

What’s improved:

  • Faces look way more natural - less of that obvious AI texture
  • Sharper details on landscapes, water, fur, and materials
  • Text rendering actually works - cleaner layouts and better accuracy when mixing text with images

The model competes pretty well against closed-source options, which is impressive for something openly available.

The facial improvements are apparently the biggest deal - previous versions had that telltale AI smoothness that screamed “generated.” This one fixes a lot of that uncanny valley stuff. Worth checking out if earlier open-source models weren’t cutting it for realistic human renders.
