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.
