OpenAI GPT Image 2.6 Flare
OpenAI's fast image model for everyday generation and editing, about 50% faster than GPT Image 2.5, with adjustable planning complexity, SVG output and animated GIF output.
GPT Image 2.6 Flare is a cloud image-generation model built by OpenAI. It generates images from a text prompt, and can take reference images to guide style or composition (image-to-image). It outputs up to 4K across 8 aspect ratios and can return up to 10 images per request. Images can be saved as PNG, JPEG, WebP, SVG, and GIF. It runs through OpenAI, OpenRouter, Runware, and Replicate using your own API key, from about $0.0247 per image.

Samples
Generated with GPT Image 2.6 Flare via Replicate. The same three prompts run against every model in the catalog, first result kept, so the only thing that changes between two models’ tiles is the model.
