people said similar things about flux at first, then flux dominated and chroma split off from it to fix many of its problems.

qwen image can do insane stuff, it's a qualitative leap over prior local models, but it still has limitations and quirks and is kind of bloated.I would hope to see either a de-slopping tune of it (though it's nowhere near as slopped as flux was), or future models that learn whatever there is to learn from its architecture and training methodology.

bottom line is qwen image is our deepseek, it trades blows with the SOTA proprietary models and proves local can still be cutting edge for image gen.
