MAI-Image-2.5 launches at No. 3 on Arena
Today, we’re announcing MAI-Image-2.5 – ranked third on the Arena text-to-image leaderboard.
It’s our strongest image model yet, and the next step in the MAI-Image series.
MAI-Image-2.5 performs well across a wide range of styles, it follows instructions closely, renders text more reliably than ever, and produces detailed, coherent images, just as you intend.
This is a step change in quality over our previous model, MAI-Image-2, delivering major improvements in text rendering, stylized illustration and commercial imagery.
The model also shows strong visual reasoning across objects, scene structure, lighting, scale, and spatial relationships – helping turn simple directions into polished images.
Sharper text, stronger brand work
Professional grade creative work requires getting every detail right: the words on a poster, the label on packaging, the structure of a product shot, the way light falls across a scene.
MAI-Image-2.5 makes meaningful gains in the areas that turn images from impressive to usable – especially text rendering and product and branding concepts.
Words are sharper. Layouts hold together better. Scenes feel more deliberate. Brand-forward visuals come through with more polish.
More to come
MAI-Image-2.5 continues the momentum from MAI-Image-1 and MAI-Image-2 – stronger quality, broader range, and more reliable outputs for real creative work.
Try it today on Arena, also coming to the MAI Playground and Foundry within the next two weeks.
