ChrisGPT spotted two unreleased OpenAI image model names on a third-party tracker: gpt-image-2.6-flare (the fast/flash-tier image model) and gpt-image-2.6-sunburst (the frontier-tier image model), suggesting an image model update is coming soon. The listing comes from a community tracker, not OpenAI—treat as unverified.
