OpenAI has launched its new image generation model, GPT Image1.5, to compete with Google’s AI advancements. This new version promises faster image generation, improved accuracy in following instructions, and better control over image edits. Available to all ChatGPT and API users, GPT Image1.5 aims to enhance the creative capabilities of users, offering both faster performance and more detailed edits.
GPT Image1.5 Enhances Speed and Precision in Image Generation
OpenAI’s GPT Image1.5 introduces a major upgrade in image generation speed and accuracy, designed to outpace competition. The model now generates images up to four times faster than its predecessors, making it a robust tool for quick image creation. In addition, GPT Image1.5 can follow detailed instructions with greater precision, making it more reliable for creative projects.
This update follows the success of Google’s Gemini3 model and its Nano Banana Pro image generator, which have been leading in the AI image generation space. OpenAI’s move with GPT Image1.5 is a direct response to these challenges, aiming to regain its competitive edge. It represents a strategic effort to reclaim leadership in artificial intelligence, especially in the image generation sector.
A Leap Toward More Consistent Image Editing and Post-Production Capabilities
GPT Image1.5 excels in handling iterative edits, which have been a challenge for earlier models. One major improvement is its ability to keep important visual elements, such as lighting and facial features, consistent during the editing process. This feature makes GPT Image1.5 ideal for post-production tasks, particularly where image consistency is crucial across various edits.
For example, users can adjust elements like facial expressions or lighting without altering the entire image, a problem that earlier models faced. OpenAI has focused on solving the issue of inconsistent results, especially when users request specific changes like “make the lighting colder” or “adjust facial expressions.” With GPT Image1.5, such edits are more accurate and aligned with user intent.
GPT Image1.5 Introduces Creative Studio and Visual Optimization Tools
Alongside the new image generation capabilities, OpenAI is improving the user interface within ChatGPT. The integration of a new “Creative Studio” within ChatGPT allows users to access preset filters and popular prompts for inspiration. These features simplify the process of image generation and enhance the overall creative experience.
OpenAI’s updates also include enhancements to its visual experience, such as clearer search results and improved image results for various tasks. As Simo mentioned in the release, these updates will enrich user interactions, especially for tasks requiring visual assistance, like unit conversions or looking up sports scores.
