OpenAI Launches GPT-Image-2.5: 50% Faster, API Splits Into Flare and Sunburst
新智元 · wechat · 2026-09-09
OpenAI released GPT-Image-2.5 with up to 50% lower generation latency, better edit precision, a new Sketch (hand-drawn input) feature, and — for the first time — a split API offering. Available to all ChatGPT users including free tier; the system generates 3 billion images weekly.
- Chinese text rendering: demos show garbled Chinese characters are gone; strong scene consistency for photo restoration, outfit swaps, and cleanup edits.
- Precise editing: modifies only the specified region while preserving composition, lighting, and subjects; supports Figma-style annotation-based edits and maintains quality over multi-turn editing.
- New features: @Sketch turns rough drawings into finished images, templates for posters/product shots, shareable prompt frameworks, and on-image annotations.
- API tiers: Flare targets speed (2-4x faster than GPT-Image-2 in third-party tests) for batch generation; Sunburst targets high-end creative retouching. Adobe confirmed Firefly integration.
