Introducing ChatGPT Images 2.5
Summary
OpenAI released ChatGPT Images 2.5, a new image generation model that has improved instruction-following across multiple turns (where an AI maintains context through several back-and-forth exchanges), generates images faster, and better preserves subjects from reference photos. Two new model versions are available in the API: gpt-image-2.5-sunburst for precise editing work and gpt-image-2.5-flare for quick, high-quality everyday use.
