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 but gpt-image-1.5 appears to be 20% cheaper than the current gpt-image-1 model, which would put a `high`-quality generation in the same price range as Nano Banana Pro.

One curious case demoed here in the docs is the grid use case. Nano Banana Pro can also generate grids, but for NBP grid adherence to the prompt collapses after going higher than 4x4 (there's only a finite amount of output tokens to correspond to each subimage), so I'm curious that OpenAI started with a 6x6 case albeit the test prompt is not that nuanced.

I'll be running gpt-image-1.5 through my GenAI Showdown later today, but in the meantime if you want to see some legitimately impressive NB Pro outputs, check out:

In particular, NB Pro successfully assembled a jigsaw puzzle it had never seen before, generated semi-accurate 3D topographical extrapolations, and even swapped a window out for a mirror.

Anyone else have issues verifying with openai? I always get a "congrats you're done" screen with a green checkmark from Persona, nothing to click, and my account stays unverified. (Edit, mystically, it's fixed..!)

Even from their own curated examples, this looks quite a bit worse than nano banan in terms of preserving consistency on image edits.

I still use Midjourney, because all of these major players are so bad at stylistic and creative work. They're singularly focused on photorealism.

That's the opinionated vs user choice dynamic. When the opinions are good, they have a leg up
