OpenAI has introduced a series of new image models on Chatbot Arena, identified by the codenames maskingtape-alpha, gaffertape-alpha, and packingtape-alpha. Initial evaluations indicate that these models possess exceptional knowledge and deliver nearly flawless text rendering, with some blind tests revealing they even surpass the Nano Banana Pro. Reports suggest that these models may already be available to some users in ChatGPT. To test the new capabilities, try generating a celebrity selfie; if the resulting image appears lifelike, without any artificial or "plastic" characteristics and features an accurate facial representation, you are likely using one of the new models.
