Suppose xAI released their new version of Image 2.0. They currently rank 2nd globally in the Arena (with a max Elo score of 1,439. The current champion is GPT-Image-2 from OpenAI, with a max Elo score of 1,463). Competition in the image generation space is heating up, leading to an increasingly competitive top of the leaderboard where models are separated by only a few dozen points.

Imagine is a model that focuses on image editing, and supports up to five references and fine typography.
