In among the maelstrom of everything else that's happening with AI right now, OpenAI has pushed out ChatGPT Images 2.5, which it describes as faster, sharper, and smarter, with "better tools for creating whatever you can dream of." Those new tools include templates, more precise editing features, and a way of converting your on-screen doodles into fully realized images.
This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.To answer all these questions and more, I fired up the new image generator in ChatGPT to see what it was capable of. Everyone is getting it—it's rolling out for all users across the web, the desktop apps, and the mobile apps now—though as usual there are varying usage limits (which ChatGPT only vaguely defines) on each plan.
How food images in ChatGPT Images 2.5 and Gemini Nano Banana 2 compare

The images should show (from top to bottom, left to right) a cheeseburger, six nuggets, a box of fries, and a Coke. Make the pictures look as photorealistic as possible with natural lighting, but add variations and imperfections to give the impression of real food."
ChatGPT is on the left and Gemini on the right. Both do a decent job of producing menu items that look realistic and actually edible, albeit with the usual AI tendency towards the generic. Personally, I'd say the ChatGPT images look slightly more like real food, though Gemini has done better on the backgrounds and wider scene (the Burger King logo would cause trouble, though).
How ChatGPT Image 2.5's Sketch tool compares to Google Nano Banana 2

Gemini doesn't have a Sketch tool per se, though it's easy enough to add an image to a prompt for inspiration. Google's AI went far more traditional with its illustration and decided to drop in an alien astronaut, whereas ChatGPT used a touch more realism. Both do the job well enough, but if I had to pick, I think I'd take the Gemini one.
ChatGPT Image 2.5 offers more precise edits
Both forest cabins were expertly edited (ChatGPT left, Gemini right).

I tried getting it to remove some cabin furniture and change the time of day from early morning to dusk, and it completed the brief with aplomb—with the rearranged shadows a particularly clever touch.
Gemini gives you a simpler set of editing tools when you click on an image, but the basics are the same: Use text comments or scribbled annotations to specify the changes. Again, I got the AI to remove some cabin chairs (there must be a lot of chairs in AI model training data), and switch the scene to dusk. Gemini did fine as well, but ultimately the ChatGPT effort looked a little more lived-in and a little less artificial.
Both ChatGPT Images 2.5 and Google Nano Banana 2 perform well
Both AI models can clearly do a good job of ripping off Bladerunner (ChatGPT left, Gemini right). Credit: LifehackerThe debate over when and why to use these tools continues, and I think there will always be more value in actual human art and photography, no matter how good AI gets at making pictures. A real forest is always going to beat an approximation of one stitched together by AI. For visualizations and ideas where you wouldn't employ an artist or have the design chops to do it yourself, though, both Gemini and ChatGPT are at a higher level than ever.
It's the editing tools that are potentially the most useful at this point: Changes to pictures that would usually take professionals hours can now be done by anyone, in seconds, and the capabilities are only going to improve in the future.
