Three new models entered the Image Arena Top 10 this past month (Text-to-Image): - #2 Reve 2.0 by @Reve (1,273), behind only GPT Image 2. - #4 MAI-Image-2.5 by @MicrosoftAI (1,253). - #9 Ideogram 4.0 Quality by @Ideogram_ai enters at #9 (1,204). And the only open-weights model in the top 10.

Reve 2.0 and MAI-Image-2.5 displaced their own predecessors, as both previous generations dropped out of the Top 10 with these improvements.

The three new entries bring different strengths across the Text-to-Image categories:

- Reve 2.0 has the broadest profile, leading the three models in six of eight categories. Its clearest strengths are Text rendering, Commercial Design and Photorealistic Imagery. - MAI Image 2.5 leads in 3D Imaging and Art, while remaining competitive across the other categories. - Ideogram 4.0 Quality’s strongest relative results are in overall performance and Text Rendering.

@arena @reve @MicrosoftAI @ideogram_ai I like the idea that NB Pro is 8th... it should be the 1st, as for Ideogram, probably the 3-4th... MAI Image 2.5 is ass

@MrM1361036 @arena @reve @MicrosoftAI @ideogram_ai NB pro is second. But it could join no.1 with GPT Image 2 depend on the usage.

@arena @reve @MicrosoftAI @ideogram_ai GPT image text rendering’de hala 1. olmasına rağmen @reve gibi yeni modellerin de gelişmesi oldukça sevindirici. Birkaç deneme yaptığımda %90 oranında Türkçe karakterlerde başarılı sonuç elde ettim 👇🏻

@arena @reve @MicrosoftAI @ideogram_ai Por qué no agregan los tres mejores modelos GPT Image 2 (Medium) y Nano Banana 2 y Nano Banana Pro 2K? Por favor, tráiganlos de vuelta!

@arena @reve @MicrosoftAI @ideogram_ai I'm sorry Reve isn't that good. I've tried it, not even close to gpt image 2. It's not bad for editing. Will try krea2, mai, and ideogram.

@BusyTadpole @arena @reve @MicrosoftAI @ideogram_ai GPT Image 2 is not very good when it comes to the real life. It can be but not really. NB Pro is quite consistent.
