It's never been a better time to be creative. (ever) The two best frontier models (ever) have been released within 30 days of each other. Here’s what we learned from running 4 frontier models head to head. >Sol has taste and Fable takes direction. 10 identical landing page briefs, judged blind by working creatives. GPT 5.6 Sol won 82% on loose briefs. But when handed a real design spec it finished last. 🧵

10/10 evening to kickoff #ICML2026 in Seoul, discussing Creative Intelligence. Thank you all for joining us! More to come. @contralabs_ai @kuizinas @aspenkhopkins

we are officially past the "creatives will be replaced" phase of the AI adoption cycle product leaders from the best creative AI companies in the world think that creativity will be more important than ever, it will just look different than it does today. thanks again @adele__li @viccpoes @joanrod_ai and @rodrigodavies for the great panel.

What's the best plot twist you can pull off in 9 days? The @renoiseai Challenge is LIVE. Make something cinematic with an ending no one sees coming and compete for $10.5k in prizes.

The Interactive Character Challenge is LIVE 🚀 Build a character with @rive_app that feels alive and compete for $10K in prizes.

The deadline for the @omma_ai Buildathon has been extended until July 3 🚀 You now have all weekend to build something like @BNakache's 'Conduct the Room'. An interactive 3D scene you control with your hands via webcam. We can't wait to see what you come up with.

The Wonder Challenge is LIVE 🚀 Pick a problem you actually have, solve it with @usewonder and show us how.

Contra Labs watched professional designers prompt @GeminiApp to change one thing, and one thing only. The goal was to make an edit and leave everything else alone, across 11 turns. It broke the rule 5 times, which means this is as bad as its ever going to be. Once again its the best time ever to be a creative. Here's where the line is and how to prompt for success 👇

Big congrats to the @ideogram_ai team on v4. We tested it blind against @GeminiApp 3.1, Grok @imagine, and @bfl_ai FLUX.2 [max] with >10 professional designers > across 240 images Quick thread on it's strengths and how to prompt it 👇

We’re hosting a creative AI curated dinner with @joinaicircle this Thursday. Who else is going to @CVPR? See you soon Denver

For @GeminiApp, your prompt is the difference between Client V1 and Production Ready. We observed 10 designers going through a real world campaign workflow: >Hero stills >Social cuts >Secondary assets total: 29 deliverables. Only 24% were "Production Ready" And they all wrote prompts the same way. Below are the prompts and outputs 👇⬇️

Only one @AdobeFirefly video prompt from our research hit production-ready on the first generation. Prompt in comments 👀 It looks you have to direct the camera as much as the model to get the most out of Firefly. Every other video session in our research needed a revision. Revising the first frame is where Firefly broke: >motion failures (temporal flicker, motion continuity, physics in motion) carried 60% of video's issue mix once designers re-prompted. TLDR: in @adobe Firefly, the camera does a lot of the work. Bake it into the first prompt and the video lands. Its by far the best time to be a creative.

This is what a real frontier moat looks like in image generation. H2H win rates for @OpenAI's GPT Image 2 from our 4-model style-transfer eval: → 70.0% vs @GoogleDeepMind Gemini 3 Pro Image Preview → 69.5% vs @krea_ai Krea 2 Large → 67.4% vs @BytePlusGlobal Seedream 5.0 Lite 1,086 matchups, three different competitors, three near-identical win rates inside a 2.6-point band.

Wow, killer work from the Krea team 👀 Krea 2 Large is the #2 style-transfer model, already closing in on GPT Image 2. Average Style Fidelity gap from @krea_ai's latest model to @OpenAI's GPT Image 2: 0.14 points. Gap from Krea to the rest of the field: more than 4x larger. Full study below.
