What is GPT Image 2.6?

GPT Image 2.6 is OpenAI's image generation and editing model, released on November 4, 2026 in ChatGPT, Codex, and the API. OpenAI calls the release Images 2.6. In the API the two variants are gpt-image-2.6-flare and gpt-image-2.6-sunburst.

OpenAI says Images 2.6 is about 50% faster than before. Flare is the faster variant and, at low quality, can return an image in as little as about 6 seconds. Sunburst is for higher detail and more consistent results across edits. The API also adds GIFs, markup-guided edits, SVG export, a complexity setting of low, medium or high, and quality settings that include xhigh and max.

On Nano AI, GPT Image 2.6 is one entry in the model menu. You get the 1K tier, up to 5 reference images, and 1 to 4 variations, at 12 credits per image. GIF export, SVG export, markup overlays, and the complexity and quality controls are OpenAI API features; they are not separate controls on this page. You do not need a ChatGPT plan or an OpenAI API key.

What OpenAI changed in GPT Image 2.6

01

Complexity changes the plan

The paper-cut football prompt leaves the trophy, uniforms and lettering open. At low complexity the trophy wears a crown and CHAMPIONS sits on a front banner. At high complexity the sign moves into the stands and the jerseys turn blue.

02

The tagline has to be exact

The Thread ads were asked for the tagline "Yours to Create." once, and for no extra text. Flare and Sunburst are OpenAI's two 2.6 variants of that same prompt, not two items in the Nano AI menu.

03

Slides with real numbers

The Market Opportunity slide was prompted with TAM $42B, SAM $8.7B and SOM $340M. OpenAI marks those figures as fictional. Check every number before you reuse a generated slide.

04

GIFs in the API

OpenAI's Sunburst example animates a monkey lifting a paper lantern. The gallery shows one still from that GIF. This page returns still images.

05

Faster, by OpenAI's account

OpenAI says Images 2.6 is about 50% faster than before, and that Flare can be about 6 seconds at low quality. Nano AI has not published its own timing yet.
