alt Hacker NewsProprietary? Either gpt-image-2 or NB2.
I have an example of interior decorating inpainting where I replaced a large floor-to-ceiling window with a mirror, and the result was pretty impressive using NB Pro from nearly a year ago.
Locally hostable? For my money I'd argue Flux.2 Klein but Qwen-Edit still puts in the work.

NB2 means "Nano Banana 2", a Google image generation model. https://blog.google/innovation-and-ai/technology/ai/nano-ban...
As far as I know, gpt-image-2 doesn't even let you define a mask unless you've already run it through one iteration, and once you do define the mask, it just ignores it 90% of the time. It's utterly useless for inpainting. Also, this and other proprietary models are severely limited in their output resolution.
I do agree, however, that the Flux2 family is the SoTA at the moment. Running locally via something like Comfy gets incredible results.
For locally hostable image editing models, the edit variant of the recently released Boogu-Image[1] model is very good. Anecdotally, I'd say way better than Flux.2 Klein 9B and Qwen-Edit.
