Today's Image & Video Generation: Fastest-Growing Projects — May 02, 2026
This week, we saw significant growth in tools leveraging OpenAI's GPT Image 2 interface for image generation and editing. The trend suggests a strong interest in developing applications that utilize this powerful technology to create innovative visual experiences.
CookSleep/gpt_image_playground takes the top spot with an impressive Growth Score of 97.72 and 610 stars, as it provides a comprehensive tool for generating and editing images using OpenAI's gpt-image-2 interface. Its rapid growth is likely due to its ability to tap into the vast creative possibilities offered by GPT Image 2.
mrslimslim/gpt-image-canvas has gained significant traction with a Growth Score of 51.00 and 123 stars, offering a local professional AI canvas built with tldraw for users to create stunning visuals. Its growth can be attributed to its unique approach to providing a seamless creative experience using GPT Image 2.
cH1LLa/Photoshop-v27.6 boasts a Growth Score of 46.50 and 69 stars, featuring the latest release of Adobe Photoshop with AI-powered tools such as Rotate Object, Reflection Removal Tool, and Firefly Image. Although its growth may be slow due to the limited scope of updates in this repository.
lidge-jun/ima2-gen has gained popularity with a Growth Score of 36.23 and 131 stars, offering a minimal CLI + web UI for OpenAI GPT Image 2 generation with dual authentication options. Its growth is driven by its ease of use and flexibility in generating high-quality images.
Senabayu08989/Stable-Diffusion-AI-Free has attracted attention with a Growth Score of 33.67 and 184 stars, providing a free AI image generator using Stable Diffusion technology for real-time video generation and character consistency. Its growth may be attributed to its innovative approach to combining different technologies for enhanced visual effects.
baidu/ERNIE-Image is an open text-to-image generation model developed by Baidu, boasting a Growth Score of 17.36 and 412 stars. Although its growth has been relatively slow compared to other tools leveraging GPT Image 2, its state-of-the-art performance among open-weight text-to-image models may contribute to its steady popularity.
OpenImagingLab/AnyRecon has gained interest with a Growth Score of 13.23 and 230 stars, featuring an arbitrary-view 3D reconstruction model using video diffusion. Its growth is likely driven by the innovative approach it brings to reconstructing complex scenes from limited data.
The remaining tools in this category have shown slower growth, but still offer valuable contributions to the Image & Video Generation space. For example, gulucaptain/Camera-Transformer-1 has gained 254 stars with its camera control model for generating videos, and xianyu110/awesome-gptimage2 has attracted 58 stars by providing a comprehensive list of resources related to GPT Image 2.
