What it does
The December update of Alibaba's Qwen-Image text-to-image foundational model
Compared to the base Qwen-Image model released in August, Qwen-Image-2512 features significant improvements in human realism, natural detail rendering, and text rendering quality. Qwen-Image-2512 excels in over 10,000 rounds of blind model evaluations on AI Arena, making it the strongest open-source model—while remaining highly competitive even among closed-source models. Significantly reduces the 'AI-generated' look and substantially enhances overall image realism, especially for human subjects. Adds richer facial details and better environmental context. Delivers notably more detailed rendering of landscapes, animal fur, and other natural elements. Enhanced water flow, foliage, and mist…from qwenimg.art

Hey HN! I wanted to share something I built over the last few weeks: isometric.nyc is a massive isometric pixel art map of NYC, built with nano banana and coding agents. I didn't write a single line of code. Of course no-code doesn't mean no-engineering. This project took a lot more manual labor than I'd hoped! I wrote a deep dive on the workflow and some thoughts about the future of AI coding and creativity: http://cannoneyed.com/projects/isometric-nyc
