Image Gen Compare

Generate images from the same prompt across multiple models and compare results. Tracks costs, generation time, and quality for informed model selection.

Supported Models

Model Type Cost Speed (M4)
DALL-E 3 Cloud (OpenAI) ~$0.04-0.08/img 5-10s
FLUX.1-schnell Local (mflux) Free ~105s
Gemini Imagen 4.0 Cloud (Google) $0.04-0.13/img 3-8s
SDXL-Turbo Local (diffusers) Free ~15s (512px)

Usage

python3 scripts/image_gen_compare.py --prompt "cyberpunk alley at night"
python3 scripts/image_gen_compare.py --model dalle3  # Single model
python3 scripts/image_gen_compare.py --list           # Previous runs

Key Lesson

Gemini (Imagen 4.0) beats fine-tuned SD 1.5 with zero training. Use commercial APIs for production quality; local models for experimentation, privacy, and offline use.
