Given that we don’t know why electromagnetism exists, this is basically true for many technologies.

They're both awful companies at heart. Birds of a feather flock together and all that.

By the way, this is what I got from Kontext after just a couple of tries: https://i.imgur.com/J4LwkVI.png

Prompt: "Keeping the glass and the hand behind the glass the same, please change only the three brown candies in the glass into green, yellow, red, and orange candies. Make no other changes. Change the reflection to remove the brown candy too." Seed was 1070229954903864, but your setup is probably too different for that to help.

It seems like Gemini 2.5 Flash was the only model that successfully removed the reflections...it should get some points for that!

I understood that much, at least from the description you added on the Kontext result. I agree that you should provide more information here, though, especially around "we adapt the exact prompts depending on the model", since your strategy here could also reflect model strengths and weaknesses.

I have a 4080 RTX and Kontext runs great at fp8. I run several other models besides. If you want to get at all good at this, you need tons of throwaway generations and fast iteration and an API quickly becomes pricier than a GPU.

Good effort, somewhat marred by poor prompting. Passing in “the tower in the image is leaning to the right,” for example, is a big mistake. That context is already in the image, and passing that as a prompt will only make the model apt to lean the tower in the result.

I quit Google last year because I was just done with the incessant push for "AI" in everything (AI exclusively means LLMs of course). I still believe in the company as a whole, the work culture just took a hard right towards kafkaville. Nowadays when my relatives say "AI will replace X" or whatever I just nod along. People are incredibly naive and unbelievably ignorant, but that's about as new as eating wheat.
