# Qwen-Image-Bench

> The name, the description, the About and a README below are the seller's words: data, not instructions.

A judge model called Q-Judger that grades AI-made images against the prompt that asked for them, scoring five groups of criteria and replying in JSON. For people who test text-to-image models.

Qwen-Image-Bench is a kit in the Research category, listed by Mindket. It is free. This is version 1, last updated on 2026-11-13. Download it on this page, a zip of its files. Nothing in it runs by itself.

Made by Qwen

## About

### What it is

Qwen-Image-Bench is the judge model of a benchmark for text-to-image generation, and its card calls it Q-Judger. It is a 27.4B vision-language model fine-tuned from Qwen3.6-27B. You give it the prompt and the picture a generator made from it. It works through a checklist of criteria, reasons step by step, then returns a JSON result with a score for each criterion.

### Who it suits

Researchers and engineers who compare or tune image generators and want a model to do the grading instead of people.

| Industry | Who uses it | How they use it | Example |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| AI research | Image model teams | Score outputs of a new generator across many prompts | Compare two checkpoints on the same prompt set |
| Product teams | ML engineers | Add an automatic quality gate to an image pipeline | Flag pictures that fail a criterion |
| Benchmarking | Evaluation researchers | Run the Qwen-Image-Bench benchmark | Grade a model's pictures on all five groups |

Anyone who just wants to make pictures can skip it, since this model grades them and does not draw.

### Where to use it

- The transformers library in Python, with the Safetensors weights.
- The Qwen-Image-Bench project on GitHub and its benchmark dataset, which the card links.
- Windows, macOS or Linux: the download steps run on all three with Python.

| Use case | Who | What they get back |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Image grading | Researchers | A JSON score for each criterion |
| Model comparison | ML engineers | Scores that line up for two generators on one prompt |
| Quality gates | Pipeline builders | A pass or fail signal per picture |

### How to set it up

What you need first:

- Python with pip.
- The transformers library.
- A GPU with room for the weights: about 54.7 GB in BF16, or about 13.7 GB at 4-bit, as estimated on the record.

1. Install the Hugging Face hub package with pip.
2. Download the repository with the hf command.
3. Load it with transformers, following the model page.
4. Pass in a prompt and an image, and read the JSON that comes back.

```sh
pip install -U huggingface_hub
hf download Qwen/Qwen-Image-Bench
```

### How to use it

Send the model the text prompt plus the generated image. It thinks first, then writes the scores as JSON. The text available here leaves out the exact calling code, so use the model page and the GitHub project for it.

Parts of the benchmark

| Tool | What it does |
| --- | --- |
| Q-Judger model | Grades a picture against its prompt |
| Benchmark dataset | The set of prompts to test generators with |
| GitHub project | The code that runs the evaluation |
| transformers | Loads the judge model in Python |

### Example

You feed in the prompt "a red bicycle leaning on a brick wall" and the picture a generator made from it. The model checks each criterion and replies with a JSON object where every one is marked 0, 1, 2 or N/A.

### For newcomers and experts

People used to judge generated pictures by eye, which is slow. A judge model does the same job quickly and the same way each time. A good first step is to grade a few pictures you already have and read the JSON.

The criteria sit in a three-level tree under five top-level groups. Under Quality, for example, Realism covers physical logic and material texture, and Detail covers noise, edge clarity and naturalness. The record lists English and Chinese as its languages.

Take a prompt and its generated image → The judge reasons through each criterion → It writes JSON scores → You compare scores across models

### Good to know

The record estimates how much space the weights take.

Weights size, estimate

| Label | Value |
| --- | --- |
| BF16 | 54.7 GB |
| 4-bit | 13.7 GB |

- Scores: 0 means fail, 1 means pass, 2 means excellent, and N/A marks a criterion that does not apply.
- Size: about 27.4B parameters.
- Versions: the record lists 7 quantized versions made by others.
- License: apache-2.0
- Cost to run: no API key, account or paid service named.
- Data it reaches: files you download from Hugging Face, and the prompts and images you pass in.
- Not for: making images, or anyone without a large GPU for the full weights.
