> a cute dog hugs a cute cat

This prompt is best served by Midjourney, Flux, Stable Diffusion. It'll be far cheaper, and chances are it'll also look a lot better.

The place where gpt-image-1 shines if if you want to do a prompt like:

"a cute dog hugs a cute cat, they're both standing on top of an algebra equation (y=\(2x^{2}-3x-2\)). Use the first reference image I uploaded as a source for the style of the dog. Same breed, same markings. The cat can contrast in fur color. Use the second reference image I uploaded as a guide for the background, but change the lighting to sunset. Also, solve the equation for x."

gpt-image-1 doesn't make the best images, and it isn't cheap, and it isn't fast, but it's incredibly -- almost insanely -- powerful. It feels like ComfyUI got packed up into an LLM and provided as a natural language service.

I wonder if we can use gpt-image-1 outputs, with some noise, as inputs to diffusion models, so GPT takes care of adherence and the diffusion model improves the quality. Does anyone know whether that's at all possible?

Sure. I suppose with API support 3 hours ago someone probably made a Comfy node all of 2 hours ago. From there you can either just do a low denoise or use one of the many IP-Adapter type things out there.

yes it's what a lot of people have been doing with newer models which have better prompt adherence, passing them through older models with better aesthetics

Not bad. Photo forums will be soon full of them. Slightly edited to remove metadata and make them look like human made.

> the same prompt for each of the quality types. ‘Auto’, ‘low’, ‘medium’, ‘high’.

“Auto” is just whatever the best quality is for a model. So in this case it’s the same as “high”.
