TL;DR

OpenAI’s new image model sets a new bar for text rendering, photorealism, and mockup generation.

Key Takeaways

  • High-quality 1536×1024 costs $0.165 — cheaper than gpt-image-1’s $0.25 at same size.
  • First model practitioners find genuinely useful for slides, mockups, and UI prototypes.
  • QR codes, chess boards, spatial grids still fail — spatial reasoning remains broken.
