Replicate published a blog post comparing several image editing models across tasks like object removal, front view generation, background editing, text editing, and style transfer, evaluating models from Black Forest Labs, Alibaba, Google, ByteDance, and OpenAI.

## Evidence

Verbatim from https://replicate.com/blog/compare-image-editing-models:

> In the past few weeks, nearly every major AI lab has released an image editing model. The first was FLUX.1 Kontext from Black Forest Labs in May, which stood out for style transformations and simple image edits. Since then, we’ve seen a wave of models, each strong in its own way.
