Ran with latest ChatGPT Pro with Extended mode. I believe the final model (ChatGPT Images 2.0) is distinct. It seems clear to me you get better images with Pro than Thinking, but the details of how they work together isn’t fully explained anywhere AFAIK.

Telling it to use a code-generated reference image not only gets you to a regular nonagon, it gets anything you want shaped as one—e.g. this ceramic drink coaster, made in Thinking Extended mode:

Images 2.0 Pro one-try success vs ten Thinking failures
By
–
I know but that was before the Images 2.0 release. The image at the top of this thread was made using Pro in one try, and before I had Pro I did ~10 tries with Thinking and they all had unacceptable errors. I’m pretty sure it’s different.

Extended thinking produces helper images for multimodal input; Pro beats Thinking Heavy.
