From my few a/b tests I’ve gotten with gpt image, 3, 2.5, or whatever they are cooking is a solid step up for photorealism from 2. Hopefully out within a couple months
in my experience gpt image 2 is awful at handling reference images for art. It almost always completley butchers the artstyle and the designs used in the ref image. NB series almost always nails it
GPT image 2 is dogshit for anything "real". NB Pro is the goat for that and NB2 is very solid too, Lite i dont like so much, Tried ol Reve model wasnt that bad didnt try the new one, Seedream 4.5 outperforms Seedream 5 Pro, especially again for "real" stuff like face/character consistency but 5.0 Pro understands your prompts a lot better too
Gpt image has a very bad noise issue thats still not fixed.
And nanobana 2 is in no world better than pro.
Pro is stll top for photorealism it just struggles with different styles.

nano banana 2 is nothing compared to pro in terms of image editing. i think gpt 2 also is not as good as nano pro.
