Change log
- — Initial entry. Released 2026-08-07. SpaceXAI's announcement claims #2 worldwide on the Arena text-to-image and image-edit leaderboards as of the launch date; the live text-to-image leaderboard on 2026-09-04 shows it at #3, displaced by Microsoft's mai-image-2.6, with gpt-image-2 still #1. The entry records the current position rather than the launch claim. Current Image Edit standing was not re-checked.
