OpenAI ships GPT-Image-2.6 Sunburst and Flare through the Images API
Top News
OpenAI released GPT-Image-2.6 Sunburst and GPT-Image-2.6 Flare for image generation and editing. You can use the Images API for both operations, with capabilities that include adjustable complexity, SVG generation, and animated GIF generation.
Here's what you can build with them:
- Image generation and image editing have separate API endpoints, so you can choose the operation your workflow needs.
- Adjustable complexity gives you another control when generating images.
- SVG generation and animated GIF generation extend the output options beyond static images.
- Markup-guided editing works with GPT Image 2.5 and 2.6, so it is not restricted to the newest models.
Try it: Use the Images API endpoints v1/images/generations for generation and v1/images/edits for editing.
