Where it falls short

–Web search grounding does not always reflect the very latest product designs
–Chain of Thought reasoning adds a small overhead — not always faster than claimed 2-3s
–Stylized and artistic output is weaker than Flux 2
–Only one showcase image available — less community proof than other models

Prompt tips

1.
Give it layered instructions in order: subject, layout, text, style, then background. This model handles structured prompts well, so use that.
2.
If the design needs text, write the exact wording and specify language, placement, and hierarchy like “large title, small subtitle, bottom CTA.”
3.
Use example-based editing when the vibe matters more than the description. One good reference can save 5 prompt rewrites.
4.
For trend-based content, mention what should feel current and what should stay generic. That keeps the output timely without making it too literal.
