Given a demanding prompt requiring exact English spelling, count-color binding, and a 5-fingered brass robot hand, the engine accurately rendered the carved 'REALTEST 2026' wooden sign with 3 red apples and 2 blue mugs. The server wait was 3.85 seconds, offering a clean 1024x1024 unwatermarked PNG deliverable. Tested export 1024 × 1024 · PNG Historical test · 2026-11-02 | LightX AI Image Generator Image generation 83/100 Seven-aspect task score Requires sign-in and manually switching from the default 8-credit model to 2-credit GPT Image 1.5 Low to use daily free credits; generates in ~5.6s with accurate text and object counts, but stamps a bottom-left watermark on the 1024×1024 JPEG.
