APPLORE · Image generation
APPLORE demonstrates top-tier instruction adherence and rendering precision in the image generation benchmark. Powered by GPT Image 2.5, it achieved perfect scores across text rendering ("REALTEST 2026"), color/quantity binding (3 apples, 2 blue mugs), and 5-finger robot hand anatomy (65/65). New accounts receive 10 trial credits, and 5 credits were used to generate and export a native 1024x1024 unwatermarked PNG. With transparent credit deduction and an ~15s generation latency, it represents a highly reliable tool for icon and graphic design.
