How this was measured

  1. Same requests. 10 product photo prompts, written like real users write, sent to 12 models from Picsart's AI Playground.
  2. Blind judge, twice. An AI judge ranked each request's outputs without model names, then again reshuffled.
  3. Error bars. Plackett–Luce ratings bootstrapped over requests; CLIP, an aesthetic predictor shown as checks.
Read the full method and its limits

Questions people ask

Which AI model is best for product photos?
GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst (OpenAI): 21% chance of ranking first on 10 product photos requests, ahead of GPT Image 2 at 21%, out of 12 models tested the same way.
Is GPT Image 2 as good as GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst for product photos?
Close: their 95% error bars overlap (GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst +0.32 to +2.12, GPT Image 2 +0.65 to +1.86 log-strength), so on 10 requests GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst is only the more likely winner.
How was the best model for product photos measured?
Same 10 requests to every model; a blind AI judge ranked the outputs twice, shuffled (agreement between runs: Kendall tau 0.63, where 1 is an identical order and 0 unrelated); Plackett-Luce ratings with 95% bootstrap error bars, CLIP and aesthetic scores as checks.
