Overview
- The new release, powered by GPT Image 1.5, is available today to all ChatGPT users globally and to developers via the API.
- OpenAI says image generation is up to four times faster with tighter instruction-following that preserves lighting, composition, and likeness during edits.
- Text rendering is improved for denser, smaller fonts, and a dedicated Images workspace adds presets, inspiration prompts, and iterative editing tools.
- Developers can access GPT Image 1.5 through the API at roughly 20% lower per‑image cost compared with the previous model.
- The rollout continues an accelerated product push after Google's Nano Banana Pro surge, following GPT‑5.2’s debut that independent tests found more actionable for knowledge work than rival models in many tasks.
