H3-Image, GPT Image 2.6 and Seedream 5.5 Face an Image-Model Test
钛媒体 reports that MiniMax released H3-Image weights on November 10, after OpenAI introduced GPT Image 2.6 on November 5 and ByteDance released Seedream 5.5 on November 9. In hands-on tests through ChatGPT, Doubao and Hailuo AI, H3-Image produced images fastest, while GPT Image 2.6 showed stronger instruction following and editing. MiniMax’s claim of 16-megapixel images in 10 seconds at 50%-70% of comparable mainstream pricing was not fully reproduced, with standard mode taking about 25-30 seconds and high-speed mode 10-15 seconds in the report’s tests.
The comparison highlights a trade-off between image-generation speed and editing reliability, while MiniMax’s open weights add a deployment option for developers and enterprises.

AI生图赛道，最近打得火热。
11月10日晚，MiniMax发布并开放H3-Image模型权重，打出了“又快又便宜”的牌。官方称，它10秒就能生成一张1600万像素的高清图片，价格只有同档位主流工具的50%-70%。
在它之前，OpenAI和字节刚刚交完作业。
11月5日，OpenAI推出Images 2.6GPT Image 2.6，继续在速度和编辑能力上发力，宣称出图速度比前代提升50%，还新增了GIF动图生成、可重复使用的参考图等功能，并在API端推出GPT Image 2.6 Flare和Sunburst两款模型，后者主打多轮编辑的一致性。
