It's sort of amazing that Grok's image model beats Nano Banana on nearly every one of the metrics they chose to highlight.

- uejfiweun 3mo ago... does it? Are you seeing something I'm not seeing? Number one is that this just doesn't appear to be true (non-lite versions beat it across the board it seems), number two is that this specifically is a low-cost bulk model and not a SOTA frontier model, of course the benchmarks are lower.
- timr 3mo agoIt’s not a universal win, but grok outperforms on 2 of the metrics, and is close on a third. Image editing: banana 1308, grok 1329 Image generation: banana 1251, grok 1174 (grok loses, but is close) Cost: banana 3.4 cents, grok 2 cents Grok is a good image model, so it isn’t totally surprising, but it’s weird that they’d pick a set of metrics where they’re not the clear winner.

- JeremyHerrman 3mo agoI was surprised with how well grok imagine performed when reviewing fast image generation. It balances quality, speed and cost really well with under $0.02 per 1K image within a few seconds.
- croes 3mo agoI guess less security boundaries have some advantages
