Existing Text-to-Image (T2I) benchmarks remain anchored in foundational criteria such as image quality and text-image alignment, failing to capture the nuanced capabilities that professional creators demand in real-world workflows. Meanwhile, evaluation pipelines that rely on an untrained multimodal model as a judge diverge from human standards. We introduce Qwen-Image-Bench, a creator-centric benchmark that extends evaluation with two application-driven dimensions (Real-world Fidelity and Creative Generation), alongside the conventional pillars of Quality, Aesthetics, and Alignment. The benchmark organizes these into a three-level taxonomy (5 pillars, 23 sub-capabilities, 56 verifiable rubrics) and provides 1000 stratified bilingual prompts. We train a unified Judge Model (Q-Judger) on Qwen3.6-27B, supervised by 80 professional annotators under blind labeling and triple-review protocols, that scores every image across all 56 facets with fine-grained, rubric-grounded diagnostics. Empirically, Qwen-Image-Bench reliably distinguishes leading T2I models, achieving the greatest separation on the application-driven dimensions where existing benchmarks provide limited insight.

Reward models play an essential role in aligning visual generative models, yet most existing visual reward models use a single scalar score or rely on fixed criteria that cannot adapt to different instructions. This limits both interpretability and task sensitivity, especially for text-to-image generation and instruction-based image editing, where different inputs require different evaluation dimensions. We propose RubricRM, a pairwise generative reward modeling framework that first produces an input-specific rubric with evaluation dimensions, weights, and scoring criteria, and then applies the rubric to score candidate images. We train dedicated RubricRM models for text-to-image generation and image editing using a two-stage training pipeline: supervised fine-tuning teaches the model the rubric-based scoring paradigm, while GRPO further improves scoring through fine-grained dimension-level rewards. Experiments on multiple generation and editing benchmarks show that RubricRM outperforms existing specialized reward models and remains competitive with strong proprietary MLLM judges despite using smaller backbones.
