  1. Start with GPT-Image-2.5 Flare for most applications. Choose GPT-Image-2.5 Sunburst when you need extra precision and control across edits. https://developers.openai.com/api/docs/guides/image-generation

  2. Edits you control: Change a jacket while keeping the subject in the same position. Update a background while preserving the product image. Revise copy without reworking the composition. GPT-Image-2.5 follows editing instructions more precisely, helping preserve the subject and composition around each change.

  3. Flare delivers higher-quality images at 50% lower latency than GPT-Image-2. Sunburst adds even more precision for detailed editing. More natural lighting, richer textures, and better handling of complex layouts and transparent backgrounds.

  4. 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.
