The site has 4 and 42 reproducible cases for each, respectively. Below, we compare strengths, prompt writing, and final results side by side.

The Bottom Line

HiDream I1 is better for Photoreal and illustration alike; Qwen Image is better for Bilingual Chinese-English prompts. Running the same idea through both is usually worth it — they "listen" differently, so the prompt has to be adjusted to match.

Strengths & Prompt-Writing Comparison

HiDream I1

Photoreal and illustration alikeFast generationOpen-source, self-hostable and tunableConcept boards and batch drafts
It reads structured descriptions well — write subject, environment, lighting and style as separate clauses. Keep style words to two or three; stack more and they fight each other.

Qwen Image

Bilingual Chinese-English promptsChinese text renderingText-image layouts & postersOpen-source & self-hostable
Mixing Chinese and English in one prompt still parses fine. When you need Chinese text to appear in the image, put the exact wording in quotes and specify its position and size too.
