Review of MAI-Image-2.6: Issues with Image Generation
The new version MAI-Image-2.6 reveals serious issues with the diversity of image generation. The model produces nearly identical results on repeated prompts.
Review of MAI-Image-2.6: Issues with Image Generation
In the new version MAI-Image-2.6, I conducted testing as access to MAI-Image-2.5-pro was restricted. During the testing, I used the prompt <code>a man and a woman</code> four times, and the model produced four nearly identical images. This indicates that the diversity of generation in the model is at a zero level.
Generation Issues
On two out of four images, the woman has issues with her fingers. This raises concerns about the quality of generation and the capabilities of the model.
Overall, the model appears to be heavily distilled, and even the faces of the people do not change. This raises questions about its effectiveness in creating unique images.
Why it matters
AnalysisThis review highlights the importance of diversity in image generation for AI models. The issues found in MAI-Image-2.6 may impact its use in creative projects.
