What I’ve been loving most about Sunburst is how nice the transparent images are. I look forward to seeing the type of stuff game devs and designers will do with this!!
Meet GPT-Image-2.5 Flare and Sunburst. Introducing new image models in the API, with sharper detail, stronger style adherence, and more control over edits.

It’s available now to all ChatGPT/Work/Codex users. Available through the API by setting your model to “gpt-image-2.5-sunburst” or similarly for Flare.

i'd test sunburst on repeated edits first, alpha edge drift kills production asset pipelines

Does it still have the "dot pattern"? I generated a couple of images in ChatGPT just now and it seems like it is still there

I still don't understand, I'm a pro subscriber and I don't know how to access this model.
