OpenAI has introduced Images 2.6 in ChatGPT, Codex, and its API.
According to OpenAI, Images 2.6 generates images up to 50% faster than the previous version. It also improves consistency across editing rounds, helping maintain details such as characters, products, and brand elements when making changes.
Another major addition is GIF generation. Users can turn images, sketches, and characters into animated GIFs using text prompts. These can be used for social media reactions, brand mascots, product visuals, and animated storyboards.

- Image quality controls: Provides options to adjust visual detail and image fidelity.
