OpenAI's new image model has quietly made realistic AI image generation seem fully solved.

We also get readable English text， and usable design drafts from one prompt.

The old weakness was easy to spot because image models could fake texture and lighting but often broke on letters， layout， and multi-part instructions.

This is so important because text rendering is the hard bridge between "pretty image" and actual work like ads， posters， menus， magazine covers， and mock-ups.

The new system also uses a reasoning mode， which means it can spend extra steps planning the image instead of guessing the whole scene in one shot.

That extra planning helps with complex prompts， unusual aspect ratios， and multi-image outputs， but it also makes generation slower.
