Gemini 2.5 Flash Image

I've updated the GenAI Image comparison site (which focuses heavily on strict text-to-image prompt adherence) to reflect the new Google Gemini 2.5 Flash model (aka nano-banana).

This model gets 8 of the 12 prompts correct and easily comes within striking distance of the best-in-class models Imagen and gpt-image-1 and is a significant upgrade over the old Gemini Flash 2.0 model. The reigning champ, gpt-image-1, only manages to edge out Flash 2.5 on the maze and 9-pointed star.

What's honestly most astonishing to me is how long gpt-image-1 has remained at the top of the class - closing in on half a year which is basically a lifetime in this field. Though fair warning, gpt-image-1 is borderline useless as an "editor" since it almost always changes the whole image instead of doing localized inpainting-style edits like Kontext, Qwen, or Nano-Banana.

Comparison of gpt-image-1, flash, and imagen.

I really like your site.

Do you know of any similar sites that that compares how well the various models can adhere to a style guide? Perhaps you could add this?

I.e. pride the model with a collection of drawings in a single style, then follow prompts and generate images in the same style?

For example if you wanted to illustrate a book, and have all the illustrations look like they were from the same artists.
