OpenAI’s GPT Image 2, released in late April 2026, drives the 92.5% market-implied odds by holding the top spot on independent blind-vote leaderboards such as Artificial Analysis and arena.ai through mid-August, posting Elo scores around 1,370—roughly 40–100 points ahead of the nearest rivals like Reve and Google’s Nano Banana models. Traders cite its native reasoning step for layout planning, superior text rendering, prompt adherence, and consistent high-resolution output as the factors behind the durable lead. With resolution set for end of August, the strong consensus reflects sustained benchmark dominance rather than speculation. A credible new model release or rapid leaderboard surge from a competitor in the next two weeks remains the main scenario that could narrow or reverse OpenAI’s position before the market closes.

Results from the "Rank" column under the "Text-to-Image Arena" Leaderboard tab at https://arena.ai/leaderboard/text-to-image (Overall) filtered for "Models" will be used to resolve this market.
Models will be ordered primarily by their leaderboard rank at the market’s check time. If two or more models are tied on rank, they will be ordered by which model is listed higher on the leaderboard. If a tie still remains, alphabetical order of company names as listed in this market group will be used as a final tiebreaker (e.g., “Google” would be ranked ahead of “SpaceXAI”). This market will resolve based on the company that occupies first place under this ranking.
