I am hopeful that OpenAI will potentially offer clarity on their loss-leading subscription model. I'd prefer to know the real cost of a token from OpenAI as opposed to praying the venture-funded tokens will always be this cheap.

incognito124•59m ago
If only there was a social network with solely AI generated videos, I would pay literal money for it...
simonw•1h ago
I've been trying out the new model like this:

  OPENAI_API_KEY="$(llm keys get openai)" \
    uv run https://tools.simonwillison.net/python/openai_image.py \
    -m gpt-image-2 \
    "Do a where's Waldo style image but it's where is the raccoon holding a ham radio"
Code here: https://github.com/simonw/tools/blob/main/python/openai_imag...

Here's what I got from that prompt. I do not think it included a raccoon holding a ham radio (though the problem with Where's Waldo tests is that I don't have the patience to solve them for sure): https://gist.github.com/simonw/88eecc65698a725d8a9c1c918478a...

makira•1h ago
> though the problem with Where's Waldo tests is that I don't have the patience to solve them for sure

I see an opportunity for a new AI test!

simonw•58m ago
I've actually been feeding them into Claude Opus 4.7 with its new high resolution image inputs, with mixed results - in one case there was no raccoon but it was SURE there was and told me it was definitely there but it couldn't find it.
makira•27m ago
I just tried feeding your image to Claude Code, using /effort max. I get better results when Claude has a dedicated VM so I tend to ask more involved questions directly in a clear Claude Code session.

"Inspect waldo.png, and give me the pixel location of a raccoon holding a ham radio."

It used python to split the images into smaller sections, and got this:

"Found it. The raccoon holding a ham radio is inside the HAM RADIO booth, standing between two humans.

  Pixel location: approximately (662, 500) in the 1402×1122 image.                                                                 
                                                                                                                                   
  Bounding box of the raccoon is roughly (645, 475) to (680, 525). You can see its characteristic dark-masked face, pointy ears,   
  light belly, and it's holding the radio at chest level." (Baked for 2m 23s)
Looks like a human to me. So I prompted: "That is a human, but I understand the confusion. Look elsewhere.".

It made much smaller sections and inspected them one by one.

"Found it — the raccoon is sitting on the ground near the trash can, holding a ham radio with a visible speaker/dial face.

  Pixel location: approximately (370, 1030) in the 1402×1122 image.                                                                
                                                                                                                                   
  Bounding box of the raccoon + radio is roughly (340, 1005) to (400, 1060). It's in the lower-left region, just right of the      
  General Store, next to a silver trash can." (Sautéed for 4m 26s)
Still not it, but it was an interesting visual test.
tptacek•56m ago
5.4 thinking says "Just right of center, immediately to the right of the HAM RADIO shack. Look on the dirt path there: the raccoon is the small gray figure partly hidden behind the woman in the red-and-yellow shirt, a little above the man in the green hat. Roughly 57% from the left, 48% from the top."

(I don't think it's right).

ritzaco•52m ago
I tried

> please add a giant red arrow to a red circle around the raccoon holding a ham radio or add a cross through the entire image if one does not exist

and got this. I'm not sure I know what a ham radio looks like though.

https://i.ritzastatic.com/static/ffef1a8e639bc85b71b692c3ba1...

jackpirate•48m ago
Also, the racoon it circled isn't in the original.
angiolillo•41m ago
Indeed. I suppose one way to ensure you can find Waldo in any image is to add it yourself.
Aurornis•36m ago
I love how perfectly this captures the difficulties of using generative AI for detection tasks.
ritzaco•55m ago

simonw•43m ago
I just got a much better version using this command instead, which uses the maximum image size according to https://github.com/openai/openai-cookbook/blob/main/examples...

  OPENAI_API_KEY="$(llm keys get openai)" \
    uv run 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/simonw/tools/refs/heads/main/python/openai_image.py' \
    -m gpt-image-2 \
    "Do a where's Waldo style image but it's where is the raccoon holding a ham radio" \
    --quality high --size 3840x2160
https://gist.github.com/simonw/88eecc65698a725d8a9c1c918478a... - I found the raccoon!

I think that image cost 40 cents.

makira•22m ago
Fed into a clear Claude Code max effort session with : "Inspect waldo2.png, and give me the pixel location of a raccoon holding a ham radio.". It sliced the image into small sections and gave:

"Found the raccoon holding a ham radio in waldo2.png (3840×2160).

  - Raccoon center: roughly (460, 1680)                                                                                            
  - Ham radio (walkie-talkie) center: roughly (505, 1650) — antenna tip around (510, 1585)                                         
  - Bounding box (raccoon + radio): approx x: 370–540, y: 1550–1780                                                                
                                                                                                                                   
  It's in the lower-left area of the image, just right of the red-and-white striped souvenir umbrella, wearing a green vest. "
Which is correct!

Flere-Imsaho•40m ago
I wake up everyday, read the tech news, and usually see some step change in AI or whatever. It's wild to think I'm living through such a massive transformation in my lifetime. The future of tech is going to be so different from when I was born (1980), I guess this is how people born in 1900 felt when they got to see man land on the moon?

> Wow, the difference between AI and non-AI images collapses. I hate the future where I won't be able to tell the difference.

Image generation is now pretty much "solved". Video will be next. Perhaps things will turn out the same as chess: in that even though chess was "solved" by IBM's Deep Blue, we still value humans playing chess. We value "hand made" items (clothes, furniture) over the factory made stuff. We appreciate & value human effort more than machines. Do you prefer a hand-written birthday card or an email?

dag100•21m ago
Chess exists solely for the sake of the humans playing it. Even if machines solved chess, people would rather play chess against a person than a machine because it is a social activity in a way. It's like playing tennis versus a person compared to tennis against a wall.

Photographs, videos, and digital media in general, in contrast, are used for much, much more than just socializing.

abraxas•19m ago
As someone born in 1975 I always felt until the last couple of years that I had been stuck in a long period of stagnation compared to an earlier generation. My grandmother who was born in the 1910s got to witness adoption of electricity, mass transit, radio, television, telephony, jet flights and even space exploration before I was born.

Feels like now is a bit of a catchup after pretty tepid period that was most of my life.

toraway•18m ago
"Solved" seems a tad overstated if you scroll up to Simonw's Where's Waldo test with deformed faces plus a confabulated target when prompted for an edit to highlight the hidden character with an arrow.

____tom____•37m ago
No mention of modifying existing images, which is more important than anything they mentioned.

I think we all know the feeling of getting an image that is ok, but needs a few modifications, and being absolutely unable to get the changes made.

It either keeps coming up with the same image, or gives you a completely new take on the image with fresh problems.

Anyone know if modification of existing images is any better?

Anything better that OpenAI?

This is not as exciting as previous models were, but it is incredibly good. I am starting to think that expressing thoughts in words clearly is probably the most important and general skill of the future.
hahahacorn•22m ago
One of the images in the blog (https://images.ctfassets.net/kftzwdyauwt9/4d5dizAOajLfAXkGZ7...) is a carbon copy of an image from an article posted Mar 27, 2026 with credits given to an individual: https://www.cornellsun.com/article/2026/03/cornell-accepts-5...

Was this an oversight? Or did their new image generation model generate an image that was essentially a copy of an existing image?

recitedropper•16m ago
This is hilarious. Seems like kind of a random image for a model to memorize, but it could be.

There is definitely enough empirical validation that shows image models retain lots of original copies in their weights, despite how much AI boosters think otherwise. That said, it is often images that end up in the training set many times, and I would think it strange for this image to do that.

Regardless, great find.

minimaxir•10m ago
Given the recency of that image, it is unlikely it is in the training data and therefore I would go with oversight.
arjie•9m ago
That has to be the wrong stock image included or something, bloody hell.

     magick image-l.webp image-r.jpg -compose difference -composite -auto-level -threshold 30% diff.png
It's practically all dark except for a few spots. It's the same image just different size compression whatever. I can't find it in any stock image search, though. Surely it could not have memorized the whole image at that fidelity. Maybe I just didn't search well enough.
dktp•22m ago
One interesting thing I found comparing OpenAI and Gemini image editing is - Gemini rejects anything involving a well known person. Anything. OpenAI is happy to edit and change every time I tried

I have a sideproject where I want to display standup comedies. I thought I could edit standup comedy posters with some AI to fit my design. Gemini straight up refuses to change any image of any standup comedy poster involving a well know human. OpenAI does not care and is happy to edit away

Melatonic•21m ago
How does it determine they are well known and not just similar looking?
dktp•15m ago
I don't know tbh. I've tried it on 10-20 various level of famous standups and Gemini refuses every time

Just for testing, I just tried this https://i.ytimg.com/vi/_KJdP4FLGTo/sddefault.jpg ("Redesign this image in a brutalist graphic design style"). Gemini refuses (api as well as UI), OpenAI does it

Melatonic•15m ago
Can it generate anything high resolution at increased cost and time? Or is it always restricted?
