Try GPT Image 2

GPT Image 2 (gpt-image-2) is OpenAI's image generation model released in April 2026, the model behind ChatGPT Images 2.0, and the predecessor of GPT Image 2.5. It's known for following detailed prompts closely and for clean, legible text in images.

On AirGallery you can run it straight from the browser, alongside Google's Nano Banana models, and compare results on the same prompt.
