Summary
ChatGPT Images 2.5 improves reference fidelity, multi-turn editing and layout accuracy, while OpenAI reports latency reductions of up to 50% compared with Images 2.0. The release also adds Sketch, templates and image comments, alongside API models named GPT-Image-2.5 Flare and Sunburst.
Why it matters
More reliable image editing is a practical capability change for creative and commercial workflows. The API split between faster and more precise variants also makes image-model routing a more important deployment decision.
