Hunyuan Image 3.0 Test Results
Testing in progress
Every model runs the same eight-category prompt set — portrait, product, poster text, anime character, interior, multi-reference, image editing and character consistency — recording generation time, success rate, text accuracy and identity retention. That run has not finished for Hunyuan Image 3.0, so this page shows no scores. We do not publish numbers we have not measured.
Hunyuan Image 3.0 Limitations
- Substantially more expensive than distilled draft models
- Text-to-image only here
- The 2K tier should be reserved for final candidates

Frequently Asked Questions
How is this different from Hunyuan Image 3 Instruct?+
This is the base text-to-image model with classic diffusion controls; Instruct adds a reasoning-oriented prompt workflow.
Why does 2K cost many more credits?+
The upstream route bills by output megapixel, so a square 2K image contains four times the pixels of 1K.
