Today's Image & Video Generation: Fastest-Growing Projects — May 08, 2026
Today's the Image & Video Generation space, we're seeing a surge in tools leveraging OpenAI's GPT-image-2 API and Stable Diffusion models to create innovative image and video editing solutions. Another trend is the increasing interest in text-to-image generation, with several repositories showcasing impressive results using various approaches.
CookSleep/gpt_image_playground takes the top spot with a growth score of 73.73 and 853 stars, offering a tool for generating and editing images based on OpenAI's gpt-image-2 API. Its rapid growth can be attributed to its user-friendly interface and ability to produce high-quality images from text prompts.
Mrslimslim/gpt-image-canvas comes in second with a growth score of 40.80 and 288 stars, providing a local professional AI canvas built with tldraw. Its popularity stems from its ability to offer a seamless image generation experience without relying on cloud services.
Lidge-jun/ima2-gen boasts a growth score of 25.59 and 183 stars, featuring a minimal CLI + web UI for OpenAI GPT Image 2 generation. Its growth is driven by the flexibility it offers users in terms of authentication methods and customization options.
Helloianneo/ian-handdrawn-ppt has a growth score of 21.58 and an impressive 420 stars, offering a tool for generating hand-drawn-style technical PPT images. Despite having only one commit in the past 30 days, its popularity endures due to its unique output style and ease of use.
EvoLinkAI/awesome-gpt-image-2-API-and-Prompts takes fifth place with a growth score of 19.87 and an astonishing 13,298 stars. This repository is a treasure trove of GPT-Image-2 API prompts and resources, attracting users seeking to unlock the full potential of OpenAI's image generation capabilities.
Baidu/ERNIE-Image has a growth score of 13.48 and 434 stars, introducing an open text-to-image generation model developed by Baidu. Its moderate growth is due to its competitive performance among open-weight models and its relatively small parameter count.
OpenImagingLab/AnyRecon boasts a growth score of 12.18 and 322 stars, offering Arbitrary-View 3D Reconstruction with Video Diffusion Model. Its growth can be attributed to the innovative approach it takes in handling video diffusion models and its potential applications in various fields.
The other repositories on the list show promise but are either less actively maintained or have more niche use cases. As the Image & Video Generation space continues to evolve, we expect to see more tools emerge that push the boundaries of what is possible with AI-generated content.
