    > Every week, people create more than 3 billion images across ChatGPT Images and the GPT‑Image models in the APIMost depressing thing I have read today

    I hope my local kebab shops switch to this for their signs.

    I use gpt image 2 very heavily for my current project (ai UI design tool). The biggest improvement I'm seeing with this is in speed. I've generated around 50k images with gpt-image-2 via api, the the average latency has held at around 104s.It's wild how much of a difference this is - images are coming in at around 35-40s. Very noticable, and makes a difference when you're iterating quickly: https://jjcm.org/gpt-image-2.5-speed.mp4

    Did anyone else notice that all the use cases they show here are "use ChatGPT Images to imagine all the things you'd like to have, but don't"? For some, they then show the thing being done, since just imagining it is a bit sad. But ChatGPT Images can't help you with that part. At best, it's providing creative inspiration - but that's often the most rewarding part of the process for a human... None of the examples show things where you just need an image directly, e.g. product labels, signage, sprites, textures, images for websites etc. I guess aspirational stuff sells?In order, there's:- Imagine you had better decorations for your fish.- Imagine you had a tattoo of your pet.- Imagine you had a unique candle holder.- Imagine you had a worse haircut.- Imagine your flowers were arranged.- Imagine your child had a suit.- Imagine your dog had a costume.- Imagine you owned a scanner.- Imagine you could hang out with friends.- Imagine your bed was made.

    I've really enjoyed using AI to generate images. For example, Long time ago, I read an amazing five-book saga called Riverworld, and I used AI to recreate many scenes, places, and ideas from the story. Seeing the books come to life through hundreds of images was a great experience. Definitely one of the coolest things to enjoy in 2026. Try it with your favorite books.

    Omg, I love how the first examples just show how easy you can fake things. Fake being at a party with your friends. Didn't make your bed, no problem, just fake it.The sad part is my mother would love "remixing" my old child photos of me.
  • pelzatessa
    The "composite party photo", while impressive, shows that still the miniscule details are being lost, like the teeth structure of the guy in the middle or the fact that the guy on the left is holding the cup with three fingers. Wondering why they chose this edit for the showcase.

    A big wtf at the LM Arena scores: https://arena.ai/leaderboard/text-to-imagegpt-image-2.5-sunburst: 1421gpt-image-2.5-flare: 1399gpt-image-2 (medium): 1381mai-image-2.6: 1331Even with LM Arena being flawed, this is significant. I was planning to do a writeup on the original gpt-image-2 as it crushed every complex image comprehension benchmark I had...I'm glad I procrastinated since ChatGPT Images 2.5 seems like an even better starting point to test out what these models can actually do nowadays.Many people still think AI images output the wrong number of fingers on a regular basis. (EDIT: this was an ironic comment to make in hindsight and I own it)

    The Facebook Marketplace experience for used items has depreciated considerably with the widespread adoption of LLMs. Between placing attractive models in photos to help sell items to "improving" the visual condition of items that completely misrepresent the real condition of the item, it's becoming a trickier landscape to navigate to find what you're looking for.
  • vgalin
    The introductory video is a bit... daring. Generating tattoos that clearly look AI-generated is not one of the use-cases I'd try to sell.
  • bufbupa
    Still can't make sprite sheets :(
  • geooff_
    Still far too expensive.At this point, I'm much more interested in seeing releases for models chasing down prices on "good enough" to unlock new use-cases than I am SOTA.I've been using Grok Imagine V1 in prod for months now as its quality for my use-case is already more than enough.
  • TomGarden
    The societal hurt coming out of public releases of image/video generation models must surely outweight the gain. That said, this is super impressive.
  • Sivart13
    Great idea, get an AI art tattoo so you can always be reminded how AI art looked in 2026.
  • lefty2
    Even GPT Images 2.0 was already the best image generator that I have tried, however it has one massive disadvantage: draconian censorship. Even rendering a gun in a scene will get flagged as "violent" and I need to create a battle scene... there's no way to do that with the censorship the way it is
  • gottagocode
    Composite party photo...this is going to revolutionize tinder profiles.
  • __MatrixMan__
    > Arrange these flowersWhat kind of person cares enough to buy flowers for an arrangement, but is uninterested in arranging them? What's next, will we buy music for our AI's to listen to? Food for them to eat?There's a lot of drudgery that can be automated away, but this seems to be focused on automating the fun parts away.
  • arjie
    None of the improvements are particularly useful for my principal use-case. Creating infographics to visualize how things interact and so on. But it’s always nice to see improvement here.
  • WarmWash
    Does it still have that distinct off-white shading of previous models though?I'm 99% sure that that is the main tell AI sniffers rely on.
  • bearjaws
    Surprised to see no acknowledgement of how "AI Menu Slop" has become deeply associated with ChatGPT.Everywhere I go now I see places that blatantly used ChatGPT for their menus or posters and they all look the same.It feels almost existential to the service, I know its a bit of survivor bias but so many images you can tell immediately are ChatGPT vs other image providers, and I feel many people are sick of them.

  • raincole
    I feel it's more like a Nano Banana 2 update. It's much faster than gpt-image-2 but the quality isn't much different.
  • hspeiser
    the clothing examples are super odd because its not actually useable. the clothes will not look like that on you, it just fits them to your body.
  • alexgyurov
    I used it to visualise different arrangements of my furniture and it worked nicely. Personal interior designer
  • furyofantares
    allllll the way at the bottom> Pricing and availability> Images 2.5 is rolling out today to ChatGPT, ChatGPT Work, and Codex users across all tiers on desktop, mobile, and web.> GPT‑Image‑2.5 Sunburst and GPT‑Image‑2.5 Flare are available in the API. See pricing details here.and the link to the pricing details is a page where i am either too dumb to find the pricing details, or they don't exist
  • bilsbie
    Is this included in the 20/month plan?I had trouble weeding through all the marketing speak.
  • redox99
    I hate so much how every food menu is now AI slop. I wish that was outlawed under false advertising.
  • mudkipdev
    Did they fix the noise gradient?
  • kiririn7
    wtf are these comments what happened to hn.
  • teaearlgraycold
    The AI tattoo. Hope you don’t have any ragrets.
  • pllbnk
    Do all Silicon Valley corporations use the same jingle for their product promotional videos? The creator must be really rich by now.
  • rarisma
    drink more water is a crazy thing to ai generate
  • clement_b
    Ah. Another 3 months delay for gemini-3.5-pro.
  • _doctor_love
    Surprised there is no mention of the Sketch feature so far. That's very powerful! I do art on the side and I know no better of getting the result I want than passing in a first draft sketch.I super encourage others to learn just a little bit of art technique and your images are going to go to the next level. You need a little construction, perspective, gesture, anatomy, and you're pretty much off to the races.Knowing names of illustration styles is great too. Look up "style transfer" if you are not familiar.

    Earlier today I couldn't get ChatGPT to draw a horse on the moon. Idea taken from Stable Diffusion's wikipedia page. I tried three times with that prompt, "a photograph of an astronaut riding a horse" and again with a horse on the moon. I got it to do another image. However, the original prompt just worked, though it didn't happen to choose the moon, it didn't say the moon.Edit: finally, I have my horse on the moon. https://chatgpt.com/share/6aa0627e-b168-83e9-98e5-d5ad5a9cad... Though the horse doesn't have a spacesuit, neither does it have one in the Stable Diffusion wikipedia page.Edit 2: finally got the kind of result I wanted https://chatgpt.com/share/6aa06813-4818-83e9-9c19-8c8ac9a348... https://chatgpt.com/s/p_359c0c38939c81918addaaa9de196f4e

    ChatGPT Images is for me the most impresive of all models, but also the one I hate the most, because of what it's used for: either funny wasteful use, or nefarious use, basically nothing else.
  • charcircuit
    Does multi turn image consistency mean they have solved the yellow tint issue?
  • dogomatic
    Fine tuned slop. It still isn’t very visually appealing, what’s the end game here?
  • UltraSane
    Trump is going to have so much fun with this!
  • _pdp_
    Is this even public?
  • webdood90
    Coming to HN to read comments on releases like this reminds me that there is a small, vocal minority that is pushing so hard for more and more features like this.The majority of the world does not want or need any of this, yet the nerds in SF that can hardly hold a conversation with another human being are pumping it out as quickly as they can.I truly think we're fucked.
