Is GPT Image 2.6 *worse* than GPT Image 2.5? Saw some benchmarks saying this, so I tested in @floraai ... so far it doesn't seem to be *better* than 2.5, at least. - Flare lost the scales in the snake's tail in both versions - Color is quite a bit different in Sunburst 2.6 - Both added a reflection on the floor that's weird imo (floor material doesn't look reflective to me) I suspect this update was like NBP 2: goal is to make it more compute-efficient, not higher quality. New model != better model Of course, this is only one random test, so don't read too much into it!
