ChatGPT Images 2.5
One-line summary: OpenAI’s 8 Sep 2026 image-model drop — Sketch / templates / comment edits; API GPT-Image-2.5 Flare and GPT-Image-2.5 Sunburst. Issuer claims up to 50% lower generation latency vs Images 2.0. Exact $/image not pulled this pass.
What it is
A dated product / API release, secondary grain in the same afternoon clip as openai-forced-navier-stokes-claim. SCOPE.md routes avatar/video/image generation to threads/ai-video-generation; this page lives here because the user-directed single-context promotion was the AI thread (OpenAI product drop in the same clip). Do not invent prices.
Why it matters to this thread
Frontier product releases and API SKU names are in-scope. Images 2.5 is not a rewrite of gpt-6-astra or of the NS claim.
