We chose OpenAI because it consistently strikes the best balance between capability, reliability, and developer experience. The models are strong across reasoning, multimodality, and real-world tasks, but what really stands out is how quickly those advances become usable products.
Beyond model quality, the ecosystem matters: stable APIs, clear documentation, and a fast-moving community make it easier to go from prototype to production. Compared to alternatives, OpenAI feels less like a single model and more like a long-term platform we can confidently build on.
Images 2.6 makes it easier to go from an image idea to a finished visual. Generate images faster, make targeted edits, and even turn static images into animated GIFs.
Key features:
Faster generation: Create images faster, with Flare generating images in as little as six seconds at low quality.
GIF creation: Turn prompts, sketches, and existing images into looping animations.
Better consistency: Preserve character appearances, products, and brand details across multiple edits.
Two API models: Choose Flare for speed or Sunburst for higher-quality, detailed visual work.
Image markup: Point to specific areas of an image and describe exactly what needs to change.
SVG export: Generate scalable vector graphics for websites, apps, and print.
Complexity controls: Adjust how much planning the model does, separately from image quality.
Who it's for: Designers, marketers, content creators, developers, and businesses creating visual content at scale.
