"MC Bench is officially dead": OpenAI's new image model stuns with photoreal 1000x1000 outputs

MC Bench founder Aizkmusic declared the benchmark "officially dead" following OpenAI's new model release, showcasing a 1000x1000 photorealistic panorama of San Francisco (medium tier, 2-shot) so detailed it wouldn't fit in one screenshot — "how tf did y'all pull this off." Community members were surprised by the early access, with many treating the output quality as the moment MC Bench's evaluation format lost its meaning.
