OpenAI GPT Image-1.5 claims to beat Nano Banana Pro, #1 across all Arenas, but completely fails Vibe Checks
The headline details of OpenAI’s new image model are good - precise image editing, executing creative ideas, better instruction following, much better text and markdown rendering, fixing obvious bugs in the old gpt-image-1, and even voluntarily highlighting known regressions in the model. It even scores 1277 on LMArena and 1344 on Design Arena and 1272 on AA Arena, all #1 spots.
