Wan 2.6 (1269 Elo) and Seedream 4.5 (1265 Elo) lead the photorealistic editing challenge with a 35+ point Elo gap over the rest of the field, while GPT Image 1.5 (1226 Elo) offers a competitive 77.8% win rate at roughly 25% of the cost of the top performers. Despite the premium price tier of Nano Banana Pro (1230 Elo) and Grok Imagine Image Pro (1194 Elo), they fail to surpass the performance of Alibaba and ByteDance's mid-tier priced models.
