Image model by OpenAI
Use GPT Image online, without a chat in the way
GPT Image is OpenAI's image model, the one behind image making in ChatGPT. It follows long, detailed prompts closely and is strong at legible text, posters, diagrams and product mock-ups. Thague offers GPT Image 2, GPT Image 2.5 (Sunburst and Flare) and GPT Image 1.5 in a studio built for images: pick a ratio, make one to four at once, then edit them with eight tools.
