Finally had a chance to play with the new "Aurora" image models from OpenAI, which are currently being tested on Arena.
Green 🟢 > Red 🔴
> The resulting image feels like one I would expect from Nano Banana and GPT Image models working together.
> Aurora outputs feel much better than gpt-image-2.5-flare, especially in the color scheme.
Nano Bana 3 Pro will face tough competition.
OPENAI 🔥: 3 new model references have been spotted on the APIs recently.
- aurora-red-alpha
- aurora-green-alpha
- aurora-blue-alpha
> These model references were removed shortly after so it was a mistake rollout.
> The chance that normal users will have a chance to test these exact models anytime soon is quite low (alpha).
> Higher probability of a new Daybreak update announcement. This also doesn’t exclude the fact that other model releases might be planned.
Not soon? 👀
