What is GPT Image 2.5?

GPT Image 2.5 is OpenAI's image generation and editing model family, released in September 2026. The API includes GPT Image 2.5 Flare for faster generation and GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst for precision-focused creative work. VideoGen uses Flare for its GPT-backed image generation and editing paths.

What is the difference between GPT Image 2.5 Flare and Sunburst?

Flare is OpenAI's default API model for most applications and prioritizes speed with high-quality generation and editing. Sunburst takes longer and is intended for premium visual work that benefits from tighter control across edits. This VideoGen page shows original examples generated with Flare.

Is GPT Image 2.5 available in VideoGen?

Yes. GPT Image 2.5 Flare powers GPT-backed image generation and editing paths in VideoGen. The exact route still depends on your quality tier, inputs, and fallback availability, so VideoGen can choose another capable model when needed.

Is GPT Image 2.5 good for presentation slides?

It is useful for slide covers, diagrams, visual metaphors, and layouts with limited text. Keep critical numbers, citations, detailed charts, and copy that must remain editable in your presentation software. Read our GPT Image 2.5 slides guide for a practical workflow.

How should I prompt GPT Image 2.5?

State the subject, composition, exact text, visual style, aspect ratio, and details that must not change. Use one clear hierarchy instead of a long list of competing ideas. Our GPT Image 2.5 prompting guide includes reusable prompt structures.

GPT Image 2.5 vs GPT Image 2: which should I use?

GPT Image 2.5 Flare is the newer option for faster generation, stronger reference fidelity, and more precise iterative edits. GPT Image 2 remains useful for comparing the prior generation's capabilities and examples. VideoGen handles model routing for supported workflows.

Example outputs from GPT Image 2.5 Flare

Real prompts, real outputs, generated with GPT Image 2.5 Flare in VideoGen.

“Premium ecommerce campaign image for a matte cream electric kettle named LUMA, three-quarter product view on pale limestone, a thin ribbon of steam, warm morning side light, restrained sage and charcoal palette. Editorial layout with generous negative space on the left and exact headline text 'POUR WITH PRECISION'. Small subheading 'Quiet mornings. Better coffee.' beneath it. No other text, logos, hands, or extra products.”

“A polished 16:9 presentation cover for an ecommerce operations talk. Deep navy background, one continuous coral line moving through four crisp isometric scenes: storefront, shopping cart, packing table, and doorstep delivery. Large exact title 'FROM CART TO CUSTOMER' aligned top left, small exact subtitle 'A simpler path to repeat purchases'. Modern editorial presentation design, strong hierarchy, clean spacing, no logos, no extra words.”

Quality tiers in VideoGen

Low: The fastest and most affordable tier, built for drafts and quick iteration.
Standard: The balanced default: good quality images at an everyday cost.
High: Premium quality images for the content you publish.
Max: MAX always integrates the state of the art. GPT Image 2.5 Flare is part of that set.

Every quality tier routes each request to the best model based on our internal evals, compliance requirements, and your intent. Requests stay fully compliant at every tier: sensitive data is never routed to models hosted by foreign adversaries such as China.
