name: image-gen-compare version: 1.0.0 description: Side-by-side comparison of paid vs local image generation models — DALL-E 3, FLUX.1-schnell, Gemini Imagen, and others. Generates images from the same prompt, logs metadata, and stores run history. Use when evaluating which image model to use for a project. metadata: {"openclaw": {"emoji": "🖼️", "requires": {"bins": ["python3"], "env": ["OPENAI_API_KEY"]}, "primaryEnv": "OPENAI_API_KEY", "network": {"outbound": true, "reason": "Calls OpenAI DALL-E API for paid image generation. Local models (FLUX via mflux) run on-device."}}}

Image Gen Compare

Generate images from the same prompt across multiple models and compare results. Tracks costs, generation time, and quality for informed model selection.

Supported Models

Usage

python3 scripts/image_gen_compare.py --prompt "cyberpunk alley at night"
python3 scripts/image_gen_compare.py --model dalle3  # Single model
python3 scripts/image_gen_compare.py --list           # Previous runs

Key Lesson

Gemini (Imagen 4.0) beats fine-tuned SD 1.5 with zero training. Use commercial APIs for production quality; local models for experimentation, privacy, and offline use.
