OpenAI's New Model is Incredibly Powerful! Photorealistic Images Explode on Social Media
After image2 appeared, AI-generated images on Chinese internet can already pass as real. This article explores through real cases how visual AI achieves breakthroughs in daily life and social scenarios.
image2 is here, and the battle is over.
On April 21, OpenAI quietly released image2. No press conference, no preview, just pushed directly to OpenAI and Codex. 12 hours later it topped the Image Arena leaderboard with 1512 points, 242 points ahead of second place.
After running this model for days and generating nearly 100 images, I can confirm: it’s currently the best model in aesthetics, text rendering, and image logic performance.
Chinese Internet: Passable as Real
I asked image2 to generate an image of “a beauty streamer live streaming on Douyin” with a simple prompt. The result: natural composition, realistic features, rich background elements. Most importantly, Chinese characters in comments were completely correct.
WeChat Moments Screenshots Too
image2 is also excellent at replicating WeChat Moments. Generate a screenshot of Elon Musk’s WeChat Moments with a comment and watch it create the hottest tech discussion screenshot of the day.
Design Posters Also Work
Using image2 for design and advertising works without issues. Images 2.0 is OpenAI’s first image model with “thinking” capability.
Available Now
image2 is now fully online, and free users can use it too. Subscribe to Plus ($20/month) for unlimited quota and thinking mode.
In Conclusion
The inflection point for visual AI may really be here. This tool has shown amazing practical value for social media graphics, e-commerce images, brand design, and content creation.
