OpenAI tests next-gen Image V2 model on ChatGPT and LM Arena

SMRTR summary

OpenAI is quietly testing Image V2, a next-generation image generator that briefly appeared on LM Arena and remains accessible to some ChatGPT users through A/B testing. The model shows significant improvements in rendering realistic UI interfaces with correctly spelled text and better prompt adherence, addressing longstanding AI weaknesses. This release appears to be OpenAI's response to competitive pressure from Google's Nano Banana Pro, which has dominated the image generation leaderboard for months.
