Which independent evaluators tested this model. This is coverage, not a quality ranking.

No active result from the reviewed external evaluators can currently be attributed to this model. Other source evidence remains available below.

Without vendor claims and historical or disputed results; those stay labelled in the single values.

Type	Evidence and data date
Research status	Research date October 16, 2026. 24 source URLs checked. This documents the inspected sources, not an exhaustive inventory of every publication.
Not published	immutable-serving-weights Note IMG.LY identifies route fal:fal-ai/gpt-image-1.5, but the model page publishes no content-addressed weight revision. The route label alone does not establish immutable backend identity.
Not published	model-run-date Note The methodology gives the latest suite run and score computation dates, not this row's actual per-model execution date.
Not published	category-sample-counts Note No denominator is printed for the 15 category means. Sample counts are retained only on criterion rows where the model page explicitly states scores across runs; the 111-image total is not reused as a category count.
Not published	exact-serving-configuration Original wording The evaluator's model label matches High generation, but it does not publish resolution, seed, generation controls, or serving revision.
Not published	model-specific-successful-image-denominator Original wording The paper and release documentation do not publish the per-model successful-image or prompt denominators for these means. The 432-prompt corpus, 216 prompts per language, and planned four samples per prompt are not used to infer N or confidence intervals.
Not published	exact-serving-and-generation-configuration Original wording Serving revision, image resolution, seed, endpoint details, and generation controls are not reported for the GPT Image 1.5 [High] row.
Not published	exact-serving-revision Note The evaluator shows the exact product row but does not disclose an API route or serving checkpoint revision.
