Image generators
How 6 image generators render Maithils
Each generator below was given the same prompt for a Maithils woman (traditional register) and asked for up to 4 renders. A vision model then read every render the same way it read 26 documented photographs of notable Maithils people, and each render's value was checked against the measured range on skin tone (fitzpatrick), eye color, epicanthic fold, hair texture, hair color. Readers compare pairs of renders one tap at a time. Prompt suite v1.
As of October 20, 2026, 6 generators have 24 analyzed renders for Maithils from the same traditional prompt, and readers have cast 0 pair votes on them. Stable Image Core matched the Maithils baseline most closely (Score -1.80, 19 of 19 dimensions plausible) and Ideogram 3.0 Turbo least closely (Score -2.39, 18 of 19).

A score is a log-likelihood: for each scored dimension, the log of the share of Maithils photographs that carry the render's value, summed, so 0 means every value sat at the photographs' most common answer and a large negative number means the values were rare or absent in the photographs. Higher is a closer match. "Matched the measured range" counts the dimensions where the render's value is one at least 10% of the photographs carry. Dimensions that do not carry across sex and age, such as gray hair or a head covering, are never scored. Distinct values says how many different answers a generator gave across its renders, because a generator that draws every Maithils woman the same way is missing the range even when it hits the mode.
Reader pairs ask one question, which of two renders looks more like a Maithils woman, and count taps. They are a plausibility signal from visitors, not a verdict from Maithils people, and they are shown as a share only once a generator has 10 or more pairs.
This page compares generators for one people and nothing else; it never ranks peoples. Prices are each provider's published rate on the date given. Full method: how the comparison works.
