New TECCI benchmark reveals AI image editors struggle with complex edits

Researchers have introduced TECCI, a new benchmark designed to rigorously test text-guided image editing models. TECCI comprises 7,550 image-edit instruction pairs, intentionally curated to expose weaknesses in current AI editing capabilities, particularly with challenging edits involving position, motion, and creativity. Human evaluations of leading models on TECCI revealed that none achieved over a 22% success rate, with Nano Banana Pro showing the best performance, though all models struggled more with minimal edits and visual quality than with instruction following.

    TECCI: Tricky Edits of Collected and Curated Images

    arXiv:2606.01213v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Despite tremendous recent progress, current text-guided image editing methods still struggle with many aspects of editing involving instruction following, minimally editing the source image, and ensuring high visual quality. These…
