N·01Model overview

GPT Image 2.5 is OpenAI's next-generation image generation and editing model, replacing Images 2.0 in ChatGPT: lighting looks more natural, textures are richer, subjects from your reference photos stay recognizable, and it follows editing instructions more reliably across multiple turns. Generation latency drops by up to 50% versus the previous model, so iterating on a concept feels noticeably quicker.

The API offers two tiers: Flare (gpt-image-2.5-flare) brings the same gains in quality, editing and speed for everyday and batch work, while Sunburst (gpt-image-2.5-sunburst) trades longer generation times for extra precision on detailed creative work.

Called through XylemNode, it shares the same address and account as the text models, making it easy to bring image capabilities into your apps and workflows.

N·03Highlights
  • Reference fidelity

    Move a subject from a reference photo into new settings and styles while keeping it recognizable.

  • Multi-turn editing

    Several rounds of edits in a row stay on instruction — no rewriting the prompt each time.

  • Two tiers

    Flare for speed, Sunburst for precision — switch by what the image demands.
