Seedream 5.0 Pro 8 / 10 One of the most appealing and spatially coherent scenes, with a particularly strong sense of place. It sits below the leaders mainly because the smaller, simpler character gives less scope for the detailed magical-girl design emphasized by the task.

Seedream 5.0 Pro 4 / 10 Rank 12 of 12: the clearest departure from the core minimalist brief. Its readable text and competent rendering cannot compensate for an overly illustrative, ornamented symbol.

A group selfie of three friends of different ethnic backgrounds smiling at the camera. - Seedream 5.0 Pro
