Prompt 2: Airport wayfinding sign
Signs look simple, but spacing and letter shapes drift fast. This prompt checks crisp text under realistic lighting.

Prompt 4: Leaf diagram with labels
Diagrams fail in two ways: labels turn to gibberish, or leader lines point nowhere. This prompt checks both.
Prompt: Clean scientific diagram on a white background. Cross section of a leaf with neat labels and leader lines. Labels must be readable: CUTICLE, EPIDERMIS, PALISADE MESOPHYLL, SPONGY MESOPHYLL, STOMATA. Flat vector style. Precise alignment.

Prompt 5: Magazine cover layout
This prompt mixes photo realism with a typical cover hierarchy: big headline, smaller cover line, and a barcode.
Prompt: Magazine cover photo of a trail runner in winter gear on a snowy forest path. High fashion editorial lighting. Add clean readable cover text: WINTER RUN KIT. Smaller cover line: 12 LAYERS THAT WORK. Small barcode at bottom right.

Comparison table
| Model | Best at | Weak spot | Observed runtime (this run) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Seedream V5 Lite | Layout-heavy prompts and clean typography targets | Longer runs for simple prompts | 31 to 42 seconds |
| Seedream v3 | Fast baseline with solid photo results | Small text and dense UI can drift | 8 to 15 seconds |
| Pruna P-Image | Speed on some photo prompts | Can spike in time on layout prompts | 5 to 102 seconds |
Verdict
Seedream V5 Lite fits teams that care about text, diagrams, and UI mocks. Seedream v3 stays a good fast default when text does not matter. P-Image can be a quick pick, but the runtime swings on layout-heavy prompts.
