It'd be interesting if you could add HunyuanImage-3 to the competition. It's better than Z-Image at almost everything I've thrown at it.
It can be (slowly) run at home, but needs 96GB RTX 6000-level hardware so it is not very popular.
I’ll have to give it another try. Its predecessor, Hunyuan Image 2.0, scored pretty poorly when I tested it last year: 2 out of 15, so it'll be interesting to see how much it has improved.
Here's ZiT, Gpt-Image-2, and Hunyuan Image 2 for reference:

Note: It won't show up in some of the newer image comparisons (Angelic Forge, Flat Earth, etc) because it's been deprecated for a while but in the tests where it was used (Yarrctic Circle, Not the Bees, etc.) it's pretty rough.
It does quite a bit better than 2.0, I think. Or at least it may be stylistically different enough to justify a rematch against the others.

9-pointed star: https://i.imgur.com/SpcSsSv.png (star is well-formed but only has 6 points)
Mermaid: https://i.imgur.com/R6MbMPX.png (fail, and I can't get Imgur to host it for some reason even though it's SFW)
Octopus: https://i.imgur.com/JTVH7xy.png (good try, almost a pass, but socks don't cover the ends of all the tentacles)
Above are one-shot attempts with seed 42.

You're killing me Smalls. This one is a 404. I'm really curious what it actually showed.
That ring toss is definitely leagues better than its predecessor. I’m not going to fault it too much for the star though, that one is an absolute slate wiper. The only locally hostable model that ever managed it for me was the original Flux, and I’m still not entirely convinced it wasn’t a fluke. Despite getting twice as many attempts, Flux 2, a much larger model, couldn’t even pull it off.
