ChatGPT Images 2.5: Faster, more precise, but not the same for everyone
OpenAI released GPT-Image-2.5 (Flare and Sunburst variants), cutting image generation latency up to 50% and improving multi-round edit consistency.
OpenAI launched GPT-Image-2.5 in two API variants: Flare, the faster default with higher quality than GPT-Image-2 at up to 50% lower latency, and Sunburst, built for precise multi-round edits. Both cost $8 per million input and $30 per million output tokens, with new xhigh and max quality tiers; a max-tier 1024x1024 image runs roughly $0.21. Testing found edit consistency strong in ChatGPT Work but inconsistent in Chat, and OpenAI has not documented how ChatGPT routes users between the models.
- Flare is the default with 50% lower latency; Sunburst targets precise, multi-round editing at higher cost
- New xhigh and max quality tiers; a max 1024x1024 image costs about $0.21
- ChatGPT adds Sketch drawing, image comments, and shareable prompts; model routing remains undocumented
