OpenAI released its updated image generation technology, Images 2.6, which supports generating looping GIF animations from text or sketches and adds SVG vector output and editing controls to its API. The company reported a 50% increase in generation speed. The release introduces two API models, GPT-Image-2.6 Flare and Sunburst, targeting speed and consistency respectively, and is accessible via ChatGPT, Codex, and the API.
Key takeaways
- Images 2.6 creates looping GIFs of 2 to 16 frames, allowing speed adjustments in ChatGPT and frame-level timing controls via API.
- The API introduces the Flare model for rapid generation (as fast as 6 seconds) and Sunburst for detail retention and consistency across edits.
- API features include vector SVG generation (generation endpoint only) and image markup layers for localized editing instructions.
- A new complexity parameter controls generation planning separately from quality, while ChatGPT gains a saved reference image feature.
