What is mona-lisa-1?

It is an anonymous or pre-release identifier reported after Arena battles. The observation can be documented without claiming it is GPT Image 2.5 or GPT Image 3.

Preserve the exact hyphenated spelling.
Separate output observations from provider attribution.
Treat screenshots without prompts or original files as low-confidence evidence.

Mona-lisa-1 vs GPT Image 2.5

Early same-prompt reports focus on more natural skin, less plastic texture, improved scene detail and stronger instruction following. These are test hypotheses, not a model card.

Use identical prompts, ratios and references for comparisons.
Score realism, text, composition, identity and artifact rate separately.
Publish sample count and source with every conclusion.

What the newer luna-lisa-alpha reports change

The reported move from mona-lisa-1 to luna-lisa-alpha suggests Mona was a checkpoint in an active test sequence, not necessarily a launch candidate. Newer samples shift the test focus from attractive single images to stability, grain, fine-detail patterns, text, and character consistency.

Do not merge Mona and Luna results into one benchmark.
Record the exact revealed alias for every Arena output.
Keep counterexamples such as repeated patterns and incorrect text alongside successful samples.
