So the announcement said the API works with the new model, so I updated my Golang SDK grail (https://github.com/montanaflynn/grail) to use but it returns a 500 server error when you try to use it, and if you change to a completely unknown model it's not listed in the available models:

  POST "https://api.openai.com/v1/responses": 500 Internal Server Error {
    "message": "An error occurred while processing your request. You can retry your request, or contact us through our help center at help.openai.com if the error persists. Please include the request ID req_******************* in your message.",
    "type": "server_error",
    "param": null,
    "code": "server_error"
  }

  POST "https://api.openai.com/v1/responses": 400 Bad Request {
    "message": "Invalid value: 'blah'. Supported values are: 'gpt-image-1' and 'gpt-image-1-mini'.",
    "type": "invalid_request_error",
    "param": "tools[0].model",
    "code": "invalid_value"
  }

> Still some scientific inaccuracies, but ~70% correct

That's still dangerously bad for the use-case they're proposing. We don't need better looking but completely wrong infographics.

If this was a farm of sweatshop Photoshopers in 2010, who download all images from the internet and provide a service of combining them on your request, this would escalate pretty quickly. Question: with copyright and authorship dead wrt AI, how do I make (at least) new content protected? Anecdotal: I had a hobby of doing photos in quite rare style and lived in a place where you'd get quite a few pictures of. When I…

my question to your anecdotal: who cares? not being fecicious, but who cares if someone reproduced your stuff and millions of people see your stuff? is the money that you want? is it the fame? because fame you will get, maybe not money... but couldn't there be another way?

To clarify my question - I do not want anything I create to be fed into their training data. That photo is just an example that I caught and it became personal. But in general I don't want anymore to open source my code, write articles and put any effort into improving training data set.

I am very impressed a benchmark I like to run is have it create sprite maps, uv texture maps for an imagined 3d model

Noticed it captured a megaman legends vibe ....

https://x.com/AgentifySH/status/2001037332770615302

and here it generated a texture map from a 3d character

https://x.com/AgentifySH/status/2001038516067672390/photo/1

however im not sure if these are true uv maps that is accurate as i dont have the 3d models itself

but ive tried this in nano banana when it first came out and it couldn't do it

Every person in every picture in their examples is white except for 1 Asian dude. Like a 46:1 ratio for the page (I counted). Not one Middle Eastern or Black or Jewish or Indian or South American person.

Not even one. And no one on the team said anything?

Come on Sam, do better.

I have a Nano Banana Pro blog post in the works expanding on my experiments with Nano Banana ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45917875 ). Running a few of my test cases from that post and the upcoming blog post through this new ChatGPT Image model, this new model is better than Nano Banana but MUCH worse than Nano Banana Pro which now nails the test cases that previously showed issues. The pricing is unclear bu…

I've been a filmmaker for 10+ years. I really want more visual tools that let you precisely lay out consistent scenes without prompting. This is important for crafting the keyframes in an image-to-video style workflow, and is especially important for long form narrative content.

One thing that gpt-image-1 does exceptionally well that Nano Banana (Pro) can't is previz-to-render. This is actually an incredibly useful capability.

The Nano Banana models take the low-fidelity previz elements/stand-ins and unfortunately keep the elements in place without attempting to "upscale" them. The model tries to preserve every mistake and detail verbatim.

Gpt-image-1, on the other hand, understands the layout and blocking of the scene, the pose of human characters, and will literally repair and upscale everything.

Here's a few examples:

- 3D + Posing + Blocking: https://youtu.be/QYVgNNJP6Vc

- Again, but with more set re-use: https://youtu.be/QMyueowqfhg

- Gaussian splats: https://youtu.be/iD999naQq9A

- Gaussians again: https://youtu.be/IxmjzRm1xHI

We need models that can do what gpt-image-1 does above, but that have higher quality, better stylistic control, faster speed, and that can take style references (eg. glossy Midjourney images).

Nano Banana team: please grow these capabilities.

Adobe is testing and building some really cool capabilities:

- Relighting scenes: https://youtu.be/YqAAFX1XXY8?si=DG6ODYZXInb0Ckvc&t=211

- Image -> 3D editing: https://youtu.be/BLxFn_BFB5c?si=GJg12gU5gFU9ZpVc&t=185 (payoff is at 3:54)

- Image -> Gaussian -> Gaussian editing: https://youtu.be/z3lHAahgpRk?si=XwSouqEJUFhC44TP&t=285

- 3D -> image with semantic tags: https://youtu.be/z275i_6jDPc?si=2HaatjXOEk3lHeW-&t=443

I'm trying to build the exact same things that they are, except as open source / source available local desktop tools that we can own. Gives me an outlet to write Rust, too.

It's really weird to see "make images from memories that aren't real" as a product pitch

I can actually imagine actors selling the rights to make fake images with them.

In late stage capitalism you pay for fake photos with someone. You have chat gpt write about how you dated for a summer, and have it end with them leaving for grad school to explain why you aren't together.

Eventually we'll all just pay to live in the matrix. When your credit card is declined you'll be logged out, to awaken in a shared studio apartment. To eat your rations.

we seriously can't be burning GW of energy just to have sama in a GPT-Shirt Ad generated by A.I impressive stuff though - as you can give it a base image + prompt.

counterpoint: we should make energy abundant enough that it really doesn't matter if sama wants to generate gpt-shirt ads or not. we have the capability, we just stopped making power more abundant.

I think we can say the pause we took was reasonable once we realized the environmental impact of dumping greenhouse gases into the atmosphere but if now that can ensure further growth won’t do it, let’s make sure we restart, just clean this time.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Suddenly, copyright doesn't matter anymore when it's no longer useful to the narrative.

Copyright has overstepped its initial purpose by leaps and bounds because corporations make the law. If you're not cynical about how Copyright currently works you probably haven't been paying attention. And it doesn't take much to go from cynical to nihilist in this case.

There's definitely a case of miscommunication at play if you didn't read cynicism into my original post. I broadly agree with you, but I'll leave it at that to prevent further fruitless arguing about specifics.
