GLM 4.5 Air (free) vs Qwen Image Edit 2511

GLM-4.5-Air is the lightweight version of our newest flagship model family, designed specifically for agent-focused applications. Like GLM-4.5, it uses a Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) architecture, but with a smaller parameter footprint. GLM-4.5-Air also supports hybrid inference modes, including a "thinking mode" for deeper reasoning and tool usage, and a "non-thinking mode" for real-time interactions.

Qwen-Image-Edit-2511 is the latest proprietary image editing model from Qwen, delivering substantial upgrades over its predecessor, Qwen-Image-Edit-2509. The new version features notable improvements in editing consistency, especially in multi-subject scenarios and character preservation, allowing for more faithful subject representation across edited images. Integrated support for popular community LoRAs now enables advanced lighting control and novel viewpoint generation natively. In addition, Qwen-Image-Edit-2511 offers enhanced industrial design capabilities, robust geometric reasoning for technical annotations, and improved fusion of multiple images. These advances result in more reliable, visually coherent, and creative image editing—making Qwen-Image-Edit-2511 a powerful and versatile tool for both imaginative and practical visual applications.
