OpenAI was embarrassingly behind on images. 🎨 Now ChatGPT Image 1.5 is here, and we spent a full week testing it against Google's Nano Banana Pro to see if they finally caught up.

We’ll talk about:

• The Big Update: How Image 1.5 brings 4x faster generation, real in-chat editing, and readable text to ChatGPT for the first time.
• The "Face Consistency" Test: Why ChatGPT Image 1.5 is now the king of keeping a character's face identical across different shots (and why Google still struggles here).
• Text & Layouts: Why Nano Banana Pro still wins for infographics, posters, and complex scenes with multiple people.
• The "Ceramic Mug" Edit: A side-by-side stress test of editing capabilities—changing materials, outfits, and backgrounds without breaking the image.
• The Verdict: The simple rule for 2026—use ChatGPT for speed and people, use Google for structure and design.
