alt Hacker NewsIt cannot create an image of a pogo stick.
I was trying to get it to create an image of a tiger jumping on a pogo stick, which is way beyond its capabilities, but it cannot create an image of a pogo stick in isolation.

When given an image of an empty wine glass, it can't fill it to the brim with wine. The pogo stick drawers and wine glass fillers can enjoy their job security for months to come!
You are right, just tried even with reference images it can't do it for me. Maybe with some good prompting.
Because in theory I would say that knowledge is something that does not have to be baked in the model but could be added using reference images if the model is capable enough to reason about them.
Those are both good benchmark prompts. Z-Image Turbo doesn't like them either:

Dunno what this is, but it's not a pogo stick: https://i.imgur.com/OmMiLzQ.jpeg

It's a tough test for local models - (gpt-image and NB had zero problems) - the only one that came reasonably close was Qwen-Image

This is where smaller models are just going to be more constrained and will require additional prompting to coax out the physical description of a "pogo stick". I had similar issues when generating Alexander the Great leading a charge on a hippity-hop / space hopper.
