ChatGPT Quietly Shipped a New Image Model (Here’s What It Can Do)

OpenAI has officially released GPT Image 1.5, and it’s a massive leap forward in instruction following and text rendering. But the question remains: Can it actually beat Google’s Nano Banana Pro? In this video, I test them head-to-head using OpenAI’s official blog post prompts to see which model truly follows the rules. We also address the strange rollout—why are Free accounts getting this dedicated "Images" workspace before Business and Pro users?. Inside the Battle: - How to Find the Model: Look for the new "Images" tab in your sidebar. If you still see the "Styles" bar in your prompt field, you’re likely still on the old model. - Test 1 (The 90s Skater): Comparing photo-realism and precise edits like changing shirt colors and adding objects. Both models show incredible parity here. - Test 2 (Markdown Rendering): ChatGPT takes a surprise lead by correctly rendering markdown headers and bold text inside a newspaper layout where Gemini struggled. - Test 3 (Fibonacci Infographic): A test of logic and spatial reasoning. While ChatGPT messed up the arrow directions, Gemini’s Nano Banana Pro followed the diagram layout perfectly. Whether you are a creator, designer, or just curious, this comparison shows that the gap between OpenAI and Google has officially closed. ➡️ Level Up Your AI Skills: Ready to move past single hacks to full mastery?
