Description

OpenAI GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst — an image generation and editing model from OpenAI's GPT Image 2.5 line. Sunburst and gpt-image-2.5-flare are separate builds, not aliases of one model, sold at the same price; public leaderboards score them separately. Standard token pricing is $5 text input, $1.25 cached input, $8 image input, and $30 image output per 1M tokens.

Decision evidence

GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst is OpenAI's closed-weight image generation and editing model for workflows where editing precision matters most, released on 2026-09-08 alongside Flare, which OpenAI positions for fast everyday generation. It takes text and up to 16 reference images and outputs images up to 3840x2160; OpenAI still cautions that repeated edits can change details you meant to keep, and the reviewed stress test held up through five chained edits.
