| Original historical observation | Top-tier 5-constraint adherence (63.5/65): 100% accurate 'REALTEST 2026' wooden sign text, exact 3 red apples + 2 blue ceramic mugs, and native 2048×2048 (9.96 MB) PNG output, tempered only by a bottom-left watermark on free-credit exports. | Seedream 3.5 demonstrates strong typography ("REALTEST 2026" 25/25), but Raphael AI caps free users at 640×640 (0.5K Low) WebP and an ~85s queue despite its "100% Free · Powered by GPT Image 2.5" hero banner. |
