Where's the raccoon with the ham radio? (ChatGPT Images 2.0)
Summary
OpenAI released ChatGPT Images 2.0 on April 21, 2026, an image generation model (a system that creates pictures from text descriptions) that the company claims represents a major leap in capability. The author tested it against other models like Google's Gemini and Claude by asking them to generate Where's Waldo-style images with a hidden raccoon holding a ham radio, finding that gpt-image-2 produced more detailed and accurate results, especially at higher quality settings.
