Alibaba's Qwen-Image-2.0 generates infographics well but struggles with specific requests. The presenter asked it to create a YouTube thumbnail with 16:9 dimensions and the text "this changes everything" from his headshot. It ignored the aspect ratio, and he's unclear how to use its advertised features like native 2K resolution and better text rendering.
The company Alibaba released a new image model this week called Quinn Image 2.0. Lots of good examples of the types of images it can generate. These are the types of images I'm the most impressed with. These like infographic style. I'll upload one of my headshots here and say generate a click Baity YouTube thumbnail using this person in the thumbnail. Give it text that says this changes everything. We've already got it set at 16 by 9 here, so it already should be the perfect aspect ratio for a thumbnail. And well, that wasn't impressive at all. It's even set on 16:9 and it didn't make a 16:9. What am I missing here? They've apparently improved the typography. It's now 2K native resolution, got much better text rendering and faster inference. I seem to not know how to use it. I guess.
