OpenAI releases Images 2.6 with 50% faster image generation and GIF support

Introducing Images 2.6

OpenAI launched Images 2.6 in ChatGPT, Codex and the API. Image generation is 50% faster, GIF animation is supported, and detail consistency in edits is improved.

Why it matters: Images 2.6 adds a separate complexity parameter, so quick edits and multi-constraint scenes can tune planning effort and image quality independently.
