ChatGPT Image Generation Upgrade: GIFs and Reference Images Are Here, API 50% Faster
ChatGPT Images 2.6 supports GIFs and reference images, and OpenAI also previews two new API models, with image generation 50% faster. The tweet didn't mention pricing or limits.
OpenAI has upgraded ChatGPT's image generation to ChatGPT Images 2.6. The changes are straightforward: GIF support and reference images.
OpenAI included a demo video in the tweet, making the features easy to see. In another message for developers, two new models will be coming to the API, with image generation 50% faster.
GIFs and reference images solve two specific problems. GIFs push a single image into consecutive frames, so making reaction images and short animated assets requires fewer trips to other tools. Reference images give users another input handle for style and subject consistency, instead of having to force everything through text descriptions every time.
For ordinary users, these two changes are easier to notice than parameter upgrades. For API users, the 50% speed boost is more tangible, directly tied to iteration counts and wait times.
The tweet did not mention pricing or limits, nor did it say the duration and resolution limits for GIFs. How much control reference images offer will also have to wait for the documentation. The version number only goes to 2.6, but all the selling points rest on the demo. It is no surprise that OpenAI released the video this time.
