Frequently Asked Questions

Reve 2.1 currently leads the Artificial Analysis Image Editing Arena with an Elo score of 1261.

The top image editing models by Elo rating are: 1. Reve 2.1 (Elo 1261), 2. GPT Image 2 (high) (Elo 1258), 3. MAI-Image-2.5 (Elo 1256), 4. GPT Image 1.5 (high) (Elo 1252), 5. Nano Banana 2 (Gemini 3.1 Flash Image Preview) (Elo 1248). Rankings are based on blind user votes in the Artificial Analysis Image Arena.

Text to Image generation creates entirely new images from text descriptions, while image editing modifies existing images based on instructions. Image editing models take both an input image and editing instructions, then produce a modified version of the original image.

Models are ranked using an Elo rating system derived from user votes in blind comparisons. Users compare edited outputs from the same input image and editing instruction, choosing the result they prefer. Higher Elo scores indicate a model is preferred more often.
