Three AI image models. 15 rounds. Same prompts. One of them you can download and run on your own GPU. GPT Image 2, Nano Banana 2, and open weights Ideogram 4, head to head on photorealism, text, spatial reasoning, and style. The closed giants were supposed to win easy. They didn't. The open one came in third by a hair, then beat both giants at rendered text, the thing AI is usually worst at. You don't need anyone's API for top tier results anymore. Full scorecard at the end. Here's the link to get started with Ideogram 4.0 👍 https://docs.google.com/document/d/1vveMIlHaM12fNERyfSzAtvQiyFSfG4cYvGqgXgxtWlk/edit?usp=sharing
