What is GPT Image 2.5 Flare?
GPT Image 2.5 Flare is OpenAI's speed-optimized "small" image model — the default API choice for image generation. It delivers dramatically lower latency and 2-4x faster throughput than GPT Image 2, with comparable or better image quality. Flare shares the same token pricing as Sunburst ($5/1M text input, $8/1M image input, $30/1M image output) and supports quality tiers from low to max, sizes up to 4K, and transparent backgrounds.
Ultra-Low Latency
Generate images in a fraction of the time of GPT Image 2. Early partner Manus confirmed real-world 2-4x speed improvements.
High-Volume Generation
Process batch creative at scale — social ads, product images, marketing campaigns, and brand assets with 2-4x faster throughput.
Transparent Backgrounds
Output clean alpha-channel images for product photography, logos, and compositing — with improved transparency quality over GPT Image 2.
Reference-Guided Creation
Upload reference images to maintain style, composition, and brand direction with better subject preservation than GPT Image 2.
Multi-Turn Editing
Refine images through multiple editing rounds without breaking previous changes — improved multi-turn consistency in GPT Image 2.5 Flare.
Same Token Price
Identical cost to GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst — $5/1M text input, $8/1M image input, $30/1M image output — with the speed advantage.
