I'll be running gpt-image-1.5 through my GenAI Showdown later today, but in the meantime if you want to see some legitimately impressive NB Pro outputs, check out:

In particular, NB Pro successfully assembled a jigsaw puzzle it had never seen before, generated semi-accurate 3D topographical extrapolations, and even swapped a window out for a mirror.

Nice! Your comparison site is probably the best one out there for image models

The mirror test is cool!

Subtle detail but the little table casts a shadow because of the light in the window and the shadow remains unchanged after the mirror replaces the window.

More obviously, the objects in the mirror aren't actually reversed!

That one's on me! It was still using the old NB image.

Updated the mirror test to use the NB Pro version.
