Another week, another new AI model drops! 😅
It’s hard to keep up, and with all the mixed feedback on Google’s new Imagen 4, it’s tough to know what’s real.
That’s why I was so pumped to see this incredible hands-on analysis from Tianyu Xu. He decided to cut through the noise and test it himself, and his findings are super clear and helpful.
Here’s the breakdown from his post:
✨ Tianyu’s Verdict: Photorealism King
While GPT-4o is still his go-to for its amazing storytelling power, Tianyu found that Imagen 4 is an absolute beast when it comes to creating photorealistic images.
He discovered it excels at:
- 📸 Wildlife & real-life subjects
- 🏛️ Architecture
- 🧑🤝🧑 Handling human and animal characters
- 🎥 Nailing specific camera angles
💡 The Bottom Line
Based on Tianyu’s tests, here’s a simple guide:
- Use GPT-4o for its unparalleled storytelling capabilities.
- Use Imagen 4 when you need stunning, realistic photos or specific scenes.
He ran all his experiments on OpenArt AI, which he notes makes it easy to switch between models like Imagen 4, GPT-Image-1, and Flux Pro all in one spot.
This is an awesome, practical guide for any creator. For the full deep-dive and to see the amazing images he generated, you have to check out Tianyu Xu’s original post!
