Tested export PNG · Output attached Historical test · 2026-11-01 | Magic Studio (AI Art Generator) Image generation 44/100 Seven-aspect task score The AI Art flow quickly generates and downloads 1024px JPEG images without a card gate; previews omit the exported bottom-right watermark, and text, object counts and hand constraints failed on this prompt.

| Fixture findings | Superb text spelling and multi-object count/color binding; realistic brass robot aesthetics, full 1024px native resolution with a corner watermark. | The brass robot and wooden table are recognizable, but the sign lacks the required text, two blue mugs are missing and the five-finger right hand is not met. |
| Original historical observation | NightCafe (Flux 2 Klein 9B Fast) demonstrates top-tier semantic following in multi-constraint benchmark: 100% text accuracy, zero count/color bleeding, with impressive metallic and ceramic lighting. | First native export from the AI Art path using the full standard prompt (1024x1024 JPEG, 0.93s median network-observed server wait): brass robot and dark wooden table are present (structure 10/20), two red apples and one yellow-green apple appear without the two blue mugs (count/color 7/20), and the wooden sign lacks legible REALTEST 2026 text (0/25); the exported file adds a bottom-right MagicStudio watermark absent in the preview. |
