Modern image generators: speed, text handling, and identity consistency

Modern image generators: a rubric I trust I compare time‑to‑first‑pixel and full render at fixed sizes, text/layout correctness on posters and UI, identity consistency with multi‑reference, and cost per 100 outputs. The rubric lives in version control alongside seeds and prompts. Why this rubric holds up It maps to real creative work - ads, product shots, and storyboards - where typography and layout matter as much as style. Teams save hours when text is correct and grids are stable on the first pass. Reproducibility and batching Batch with consistent seeds and record sampler settings. Re‑render the same pack when upgrading models so stakeholders can compare apples to apples.
