Reproduce the request.

Over-ear headphones isolated as a clean ecommerce cutout, transparent background, accurate soft edge detail around fabric ear pads, neutral product color, no floor, no text, no added accessories.
OBSERVED FINDING

All three outputs were opaque 24-bit RGB PNGs. GPT and Flux drew checkerboards and Gemini used a dark background, so none satisfied the true-transparency requirement.

Test date: 2026-07-21. The report uses one accepted output from each API and preserves the original images and JSON run records in GitHub. Availability, behavior, and pricing can change.
