Yo Microsoft just dropped MAI-Image-2.5, they're saying it's top 3 globally for image generation now.

Just saw Microsoft dropped MAI-Image-2.5, claiming it’s ranked third globally. Not sure which leaderboard or what metrics they’re using—haven’t seen the details yet, so I’ll take their word for now. The fact that Microsoft is building their own image model is pretty interesting, since before they mostly relied on partners.

Looks like it’s still a general-purpose text-to-image model. Whether it can beat the top tier in texture and text rendering, we’ll have to wait for someone to post real comparison shots.

Anyone got access yet? Drop some side-by-sides with the same prompt—can’t judge just from rankings.

Third, which leaderboard are we talking about? They didn’t even say where the source is from.

Microsoft is training their own image model now, that’s kinda interesting.

Let’s wait for actual tests first, rankings like this are usually full of BS.

Let’s see if your text layout can even compete with the top tier first.

Where’s the download link? I wanna try generating a few myself.

I’ll wait and see until the comparison images come out.
