GPT-6 Astra and Image 2.5 land in the same week as Codex's built-in image generation gets praised
The author compares built-in image generation in Codex, MiniMax and Grok, calling Codex the strongest, and uses Image 2.5's Sketch mode to turn a doodle into a Demon's Souls boss fight.
OpenAI is cooking right now with GPT 6 Astra and Image 2.5 in the same week One of the best-selling points that Codex has always had is how strong their built-in image generation is There are literally only three good models with built-in image generation, and that's Codex, MiniMax, and Grok 1. Grok images/videos are straight slop but have no rules and are super cheap 2. MiniMax's H3 video generation is amazing, but images are a bit behind 3. Codex has and always has had the strongest built-in image generation Anthropic doesn't even have built-in image generation, let alone a model worth using nowadays Sketch mode for image 2.5 is also super fun lol it turned this straight-up slop painting of mine into a Demon's Souls boss fight pretty easily lmaoo
