Cyberpunk & Sci-Fi — Side-by-Side Results
Prompt
"A 20s Asian woman with a short black bob and subtle eyeliner wears an oversized hoodie, biker shorts, and chunky sneakers, holding her phone at arm’s length for a rainy street selfie while glancing near the lens with a relaxed half-smile. She’s under a neon ramen shop awning on a rain-slick cyberpunk street with pink-blue-purple signage, holographic ads reflecting in puddles, and a few commuters with transparent umbrellas in the background. Natural phone-camera look with soft streetlight glow, slight motion blur from passing lights, candid “on my way home” Instagram story vibe."

Flux Ultra 1.1 Strengths
- Exceptional micro-detail for dense neon streetscapes (signage, cables, rain speckle, surface wear) with a premium, polished finish
- Strong photoreal material rendering for sci-fi tech (metal alloys, glass, holographic UI glow, emissive panels) and convincing reflections
- Handles complex lighting scenarios well (neon spill, rim light, volumetric haze) for cinematic cyberpunk mood
- Best choice when you need a “final-frame” hero image with minimal compromises in clarity and texture fidelity
Grok Imagine Strengths
- More cost-efficient at 4 credits/image, making it easier to iterate on cyberpunk concepts, angles, and colorways
- Creative compositions that can push stylized dystopian framing (dramatic perspectives, layered foreground elements, bold silhouettes)
- Image-to-image support enables controlled sci-fi variations (upgrade a street photo into neon noir, remix a tech prop, maintain layout while changing style)
- High detail output that’s well-suited for rapid moodboards, storyboard beats, and multiple scene options per campaign
Verdict
Choose Flux Ultra 1.1 when your cyberpunk or sci-fi brief demands maximum realism and density—think close-up hero shots of augmented characters, ultra-detailed neon alleys, or premium key art where tiny textures and lighting nuance matter.
Choose Grok Imagine when you need strong photoreal results with faster iteration and more experimentation per budget—especially for exploring dystopian set designs, testing multiple neon palettes, or using image-to-image to keep composition consistent while evolving the look.
