Black Forest Labs released a new version of Flux last week — 1.1 Pro — claiming it outperformed all other AI image generators on most benchmarks. My early tests found its realism was impressive, speed was fast and prompt adherence exceptional.
However, for a long time, Midjourney has held the 'most realistic AI image model' crown, not just in my tests but generally. With the release of v6.1 in July it even improved skin texture on people and atmospheric rendering.
