OpenAI’s New ImageGen is Unexpectedly Epic
I’ve spent quite a while testing the new 4o ImageGen from OpenAI, and comparing it to models released just yesterday, like Reve, Midjourney, Imagen 3, as well as models not yet out.
Rarely in AI is one model so much better than the rest, as we can see on the chatbot-side of things. Yes, I have a video imminent on Gemini 2.5 and DeepSeek. But for ImageGen, I was very impressed, as you’ll see. Still not perfect, don’t show it a mirror for example, and definitely not photorealistic, but incredibly obedient. You’ll see what I mean.
What Sam Altman calls ‘Images in ChatGPT’ will be available to everyone apparently, even free users. There are some filters, but I am sure everyone will soon have access to an unfiltered model of its strength, and its easy to imagine what will come of that.
