This outperforms Gemini 3 pro image (nano banana pro) on Text-to-Image Arena and Image Edit Arena. I'm surprised they didn't mention this leaderboard in the blog post.

I like this benchmark because its based upon user votes, so overfitting is not as easy (after all, if users prefer your result, you've won).

There are no visible watermarks, but model makers can use steganographic codes to identify outputs from their own models.
