Google's Gemini chatbot gets a major upgrade with Gemini 2.5 Flash Image, a new AI image editing tool. This tool allows for precise photo edits based on text prompts, overcoming limitations of competitors like ChatGPT. It boasts superior image quality and consistency, even when altering complex details like faces. Already praised on LMArena, the tool aims to help Google compete with OpenAI's popular image tools and boost its user base, currently lagging behind ChatGPT's 700 million weekly users. Google emphasizes improved user control while implementing safeguards to prevent misuse, including watermarks on generated images.
