Just wasted 4hrs on the model by trying to do consistent sprite sheet art.

Nothing to see here.

I wish it was properly adjusted to design work. I can get some work done with Gemini over multiple prompts, center this, adjust this, keep stylized properties of this, etc.

Ask HN: Does anyone know whether a Codex subscription can generate images specifying gpt-image-2.6-sunburst without relying on an api_key?

Based on stolen artwork. F*ck this.

I love images 2, my only issue is the iterative changes. I want to change a tiny thing and it changes too or not exactly what I want, end up being a long conversation to get what I desire. I see this new model promises more control in editing, has anybody tried and experienced a decent improvement?

Off-topic, but the looping GIFs of stock prices going up / going down remind me of the currently airing anime https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FX_Fighter_Kurumi-chan .

Did a considerably worse job than Image Gen 2.0 on my standard test prompt.

"A macro close-up photograph of an old watchmaker's hands carefully replacing a tiny gear inside a vintage pocket watch. The watch mechanism is partially submerged in a shallow dish of clear water, causing visible refraction and light caustics across the brass gears. A single drop of water is falling from a pair of steel tweezers, captured mid-splash on the water's surface. Reflect the watchmaker's face, slightly distorted, in the curved glass of the watch face. Sharp focus throughout, natural window lighting from the left, shot on 100mm macro lens."

Whatever site you are hosting images seems to trap my mobile browser and require 3-4 back buttons to get out of.

Hmm, it's jumpshare one of those drag and drop file share companies (that I pay for). Thanks for the heads up I'll open a support ticket.

tweezers not holding the gear, and THOSE FINGERS, yick. What else?

2.5 is better than 2.6

I've been playing with it for the last hour or so. I immediately updated my platform to use both since 2.5 is my primary model (i run a prompt->design site).

After playing with it for an hour, I'm rolling back 2.6-flare to 2.5-flare. I've found 2.6-flare specifically to either be too simplistic in its approaches, or create outputs that are inherently broken in other cases.

Comparison examples: https://diffui.ai/app/canvas/178db5d5-ff87-4b43-aa98-2897773...

2.6-sunburst seems solid however.

Update: seems to be confirmed on arena.ai - 2.5 scores higher than 2.6 https://arena.ai/leaderboard/image/text-to-image

Update: based on info from design arena, it looks like gpt-image-2.6 was post-trained to output less text: https://x.com/DesignArena/status/2118124381155303918

This may be why text elements in particular appear more "zoomed in", and why it's providing less detail for UI design.

Oh thank god, the awful inspirational text shoved needlessly into everything has been excised.

I preferred 2.6 in all examples supplied!
jjcm 12 hours ago||
I firmly disagree. There's subjective comparison, and there's objective comparison.

In two of the examples the images from 2.6 are inherently broken, ie: https://image.non.io/161d8f02-fc2a-40e0-91b2-9d27ceb8fef1.we...

Objectively there are tests here where 2.5 are better. Subjectively prefering the layout of 2.6 is fine, but there are blocking flaws.

FOUR BILLION IMAGES PER WEEK???

As a 20$ subscription user, I get unlimited imagegen on chat. I could go up to 150 a day.

I wonder if there's some weird accounting going on, or if this is real. It would mean around 24M images an hour and that's in the area of "more images than anyone will see". It means there's lots of wasted automated effort in this process somewhere, even if we assume some creators will request 8x variants of their ideas.

I don't use AI image generation anymore, but when I was fiddling with it I would generate dozens of images per idea, limited only by my patience. "The same thing but a little different" is the easiest feedback you can give anything.

Same, when I messed around with it to learn how the models worked I would generate batches of hundreds or thousands with slightly tweaked prompts and negative prompts to get a sense of how the inputs changed the outputs.

How well does this handle SVG generation? Does it perform better than existing LLMs when asked to create SVGs?
