Suno Tops Music Downloads

OpenAI just dropped ChatGPT Images 2.0 (GPT Image 2) and it's by far the new #1 AI image model. 2K resolution, multi-language support, incredible text rendering, and yes, it can write on individual grains of rice.

This week on AI For Humans, OpenAI dropped ChatGPT Images 2.0 (GPT Images 2) and it instantly took the #1 spot on the Arena leaderboard, beating Nano Banana 2 by a significant margin. The new model generates images up to 2K resolution, handles multiple languages including non-Latin scripts like Japanese, Korean, and Hindi, and excels at image-to-image editing. There's a standard instant mode and a thinking mode for paid users that can search the web and double-check its work.

We walk through the best examples so far: Simon Willison's Where's Waldo test, Ethan Mollick's otter benchmark, Gavin's own periodic table test and his AI For Humans in 2045 screenshot. Plus, the OpenAI livestream moment where the model wrote text on individual grains of rice went viral.

Elsewhere, SpaceX just bought Cursor for $60 billion to build the new xAI and take on OpenAI and Anthropic for coding and knowledge work. Suno became the #1 music download in the world. And we've got HyperFrames, a cool new way to make motion graphics with Claude Code or Codex.

CHATGPT IMAGES 2.0 IS THE NEW IMAGE KING. WHAT A WEEK.
