GPT-Image-2.6 lands on Netlify AI Gateway; demo turns any birth city into a looping poster
thisiskp_ · x · 2026-11-07
- Netlify made two new image models callable straight from a Netlify Function: gpt-image-2.6-sunburst and gpt-image-2.6-flare, both reachable via the OpenAI SDK with credentials handled by AI Gateway.
- Developer thisiskp shipped Birthcity, a demo site where you type your birth city and it finds a landmark and a local moment, then paints a looping gouache-style travel poster GIF in about 45 seconds.
- Every poster joins a community library; the site is built on Netlify primitives (AI Gateway, Functions, etc.), with style inspiration from @devteamdrew.
