OpenAI just dropped GPT Image 2, and it's now ranked the #1 image model, beating Nano Banana 2 by 242 points on arena.ai. I ran 30 side-by-side matchups between the two models, had Claude Opus 4.7 judge them, and then pushed GPT Image 2 through 15+ real use cases like product packaging, ad creatives, real estate staging, logo variants, and book covers. If you use AI images for content or work, this comparison will show you which model to reach for. GITHUB REPO
