ChatGPT’s New Image Generator Is Now Better Than Midjourney And Flux
OpenAI’s image generator has never been on the list of the best AI models out there. It’s always been Midjourney, Flux, and Imagen. It’s as if OpenAI was deeply focused on text generation that they forgot about upgrading their image models.
However, a few days ago, OpenAI just dropped a brand new GPT-4o model with native image generation support that blows the competitors out of the water. This integration allows the model to produce precise, photorealistic images directly from text prompts, while also leveraging its built-in knowledge and chat context to enhance image quality, text accuracy, character consistency, and prompt coherence.
So now there are a couple of image generators competing for the top spot.
- Midjourney V6
- Flux 1.1 Pro Ultra from Black Forest Labs
- GPT-4o from OpenAI

I will also share some unique capabilities of the new ChatGPT image generator you might be interested in.
Let’s get started.
Prompt: A majestic lion kneeling near a crystal-clear water source in the savannah. It drinks slowly, its eyes fixed on the clear water, while its golden mane gently sways in the breeze. The water reflects its image, creating a perfect symmetry between the lion and its reflection. The grass around the water source is fresh and lush, contrasting with the warmth of the savannah. The wild landscape stretches in the background, slightly blurred, highlighting the tranquility of this serene moment
All three images look impressive, and the lions have a strong presence. But honestly, Midjourney nailed it here. The image feels softer and more realistic, like a photo you’d see in a nature magazine. The gentle blur in the background and the smooth reflections make it feel very real and peaceful. This image captures exactly the serene mood the prompt…
