Qwen-Image-2512: open AI that finally looks real
Qwen dropped Qwen-Image-2512 end of year - a text-to-image upgrade that punches with top closed models like Google Imagen and Gemini. Fully open weights on HuggingFace, but outputs now look like real life - bye bye cheap AI gloss!
What got fixed:
Humans without plastic - skin, hair, expressions like photos, poses hold up.
Textures that survive zoom - water, fur, fabrics stay sharp.
Text that works - layouts, banners, slides without glitches.
10k+ blind rounds on AI Arena: #1 open-source, tailing closed giants. Run locally in ComfyUI - free and fierce. Open‑source rules images!
