GPT Image 2

2026-04-21

GPT Image 2 is OpenAI's next-generation image model, the successor to GPT Image 1.5. Built on an entirely new architecture independent from GPT-4o, it topped the LM Arena image leaderboard at launch. Text-rendering accuracy reaches 99%+, with high-fidelity glyph support for Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Hindi, and Bengali, enabling the creation of clean infographics, slides, posters, maps, UI mockups, and manga. Outputs reach up to 4K at custom dimensions, with three quality tiers and two operational modes: Instant for fast generation and Thinking for reasoning- and web-search-integrated tasks.
