OpenAI’s GPT-Image-2 still leads, while Seedance 2.5 may reset video generation

- The author says no image model has yet clearly unseated GPT-Image-2 in overall quality and reliability.
- After testing Qwen Image 3.0, they see it as a meaningful improvement over the previous version, but still far behind OpenAI’s model.
- By contrast, video generation is progressing faster: Seedance 2.5 is described as potentially outperforming everything that came before it.
- The poster argues the difference may be economic: image generation has a smaller commercial market, while video has a much larger one and attracts more investment.
