Two new image models for developers: GPT-Image-2.6 Flare and Sunburst. Flare generates images in as little as six seconds. Sunburst brings higher-quality generation and greater consistency across edits. Image markup and SVG exports give you more ways to refine and use what you create.

Can we select the models and quality in chatgpt/codex? Else it'll be a nothing burger pointless release

Did you guys fix the crunchy fractal patterns in this one or are we still without a frontier image model that avoids that

What’s the default model used by ChatGPT? Flare? Sunburst? 😀

Stop with the nonsense names. At least give us a hint as to how the frickin’ models differ.

Wish we could get higher quality images in Codex instead of having to use it elsewhere.

I'd rather have access to higher resolution without blowing API credit when I'm already paying out for a subscription.

@grok is 2.6 better quality than 2.5 or it just adds gifs and references?

Six seconds for Flare is wild, curious if Sunburst keeps that up on edits.

Six-second generations. The interesting part is what people stop asking for once the wait disappears.

The current image generation interface can neither specify nor return Images 2.6, and this machine has no API credentials available for calling a specified model. I will organize the exact materials and playback conventions properly, and will not misrepresent generations from an unknown model as 2.6.

Wait what??? GPT Image itself looks great. Why does Codex spit out frontends that hurt to look at?

Flare and Sunburst sound like my two attempts at naming a learning-rate schedule. Curious how the 50% speedup was won.

Available right away?? Splendid thanks 🧡✨🚀

finally ChatGPT can actually look at my memes, feels like a cheat code. any chance the API accepts a zip of images in one request?

在codex中， 聊天和工作两种模式下如何使用

Codex across all tiers is what I will actually feel. I have been waiting for image generation inside my coding workflow, and having Flare and Sunburst in the API on day one beats waiting for a staged rollout.

Why can we not chose which model to use without being in the API? This doesnt make sense to me.
