4 Image Models, 5 Art Styles: Hands-on Comparison of MiniMax H3, Seedream 5.5, Nano Banana 2.1 and GPT Image 2.6
aziz4ai · x · 2026-11-11
AI content creator aziz4ai ran identical prompts through MiniMax H3, Seedream 5.5, Nano Banana 2.1 and GPT Image 2.6 across 5 art styles, publishing the full prompts and results.
Early findings from two released cases:
- Crystal whale in rainy Tokyo (photorealism): Seedream 5.5 has the best glass material but inaccurate reflections; Nano Banana 2.1 renders street signs and neon text more clearly.
- Astronaut before monks (Baroque oil painting): GPT Image 2.6 has the best brushwork and shadow, but produces overlapping hands.
Each case includes a highly detailed prompt (lens, material, lighting, composition constraints) that readers can reuse to benchmark instruction-following across image models.
