GPT Image 2.5 vs. MAI-Image-2.6: Knitted Toy Prompt Comparison

A comparison of three image generation models—GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst, GPT Image 2.5 Flare, and MAI-Image-2.6—was conducted using a prompt for a knitted toy designer. GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst and Flare produced faithful knitted portraits with normal head proportions, while MAI-Image-2.6 successfully generated the exaggerated toy shape specified in the prompt. Notably, GPT Image 2.5 Flare was significantly faster than Sunburst for a similar output quality and cost, and MAI-Image-2.6 was the most cost-effective option for the designer toy aesthetic, though it is limited to 1024-pixel output.
