Reviewer scorecard
“Figma is non-negotiable for product design. The AI features are catching up to standalone tools. Make is promising but still needs refinement for complex layouts.”
“Text rendering quality is a breakthrough. Finally, an open model that handles typography correctly.”
“Dev Mode is the killer feature for developers. Inspect designs, copy CSS, export assets — all without asking the designer. The MCP integration with Claude Code is next-level.”
“Flux Pro generates images that rival Midjourney. The open-weight models are perfect for self-hosted pipelines.”
“Figma's platform play is smart — become the OS for design, then add AI on top. Code Connect, Dev Mode, Make — they're building the bridge between design and code.”
“The Stability AI team's second act is delivering. Flux sets a new bar for open image generation.”
