ChatGPT Images 2.5 adds faster generation and precise edits
Sketch, image comments, and shareable prompts arrive alongside the Flare and Sunburst API models.
OpenAI says generation latency in ChatGPT Images 2.5 is up to 50% lower than in 2.0. The update improves reference fidelity and keeps untouched details more consistent across edits.
- Sketch turns drawings into image references.
- Templates, image comments, and shared prompts add ways to create and refine images.
- Flare prioritizes speed in the API; Sunburst offers greater editing precision with longer generation times.
The September 8 release is rolling out to all ChatGPT, ChatGPT Work, and Codex tiers across web, desktop, and mobile. Both API models are available.
