OpenAI’s new image model is HEAT.
Basically makes Nano Banana useless.
Here’s why:
1. It just works better. Look at the video. It took the prompt exactly and just made it look good.
2. Aspect ratio control is king.
3. No stupid watermark. I mean - come on.
The pro move?
⤷ Use the OpenAI API inside of Claude Code so you can then use the cool designs in your workflow.
It’s averaging out about $0.09 an image.
In e-commerce?
→ That’s a steal, folks.
