GPT Image 2.6: Flare, Sunburst and GIF Output

GPT Image 2.6: Flare, Sunburst and GIF Output. A source-based guide to identity, use and limits.

GUIDE · SOURCES REVIEWED

OpenAI documents two GPT Image 2.6 API model IDs: Sunburst for detailed visual work and Flare for faster iteration. Both model pages describe image generation and editing; “GPT Image 2.6” is a family name, so choose the exact ID supported by your account.

What can it produce?

The official image generation guide describes complexity settings, markup-guided edits, SVG output and animated GIF output. Check the guide for the operation and parameters supported by the model and endpoint you intend to use. An animated GIF is an image format; it should not be confused with a general video-generation service.

Choosing between the models

Start with Flare when iteration speed matters, or evaluate Sunburst for detailed compositions. Use the same representative prompts and inspect text, layout and edit fidelity before drawing a conclusion for your own work. Check the current pricing and account access before making requests; API prices and product availability can change.
