About GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst

GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst is OpenAI's precision image generation and editing model for creative work that benefits from tighter control across edits, such as production-ready campaign creative and polished product imagery. It shares GPT Image 2.5 Flare's improvements in lighting, texture, subject preservation, and multi-turn edit consistency, and adds an extra level of editing precision at the cost of longer generation times.

It generates from a text prompt or edits up to 16 reference images, with optional mask-based inpainting, transparent backgrounds, custom dimensions up to 4K (3840x2160), and five quality tiers from low through the new xhigh and max settings. Choose it when editing precision matters most; GPT Image 2.5 Flare is the faster choice for everyday generation.
