OpenAI’s new image model
{{/usCountry}}Earlier, OpenAI released ChatGPT Images 2.0, a new image generator that the company described as a major upgrade in visual creation. According to OpenAI, the model “can take on complex visual tasks and produce precise, immediately usable visuals, with sharper editing, richer layouts, and thinking-level intelligence.”
OpenAI also called the model a “new era of image generation,” saying it offers improved text rendering, multilingual support and stronger visual reasoning. The company said the model is designed to help users create more accurate and polished images across different formats and styles.
In a tweet, the company shared a “video made with ChatGPT Images”, showing a series of visuals that appeared strikingly realistic. The images looked polished enough that many viewers may find it difficult to distinguish them from real photographs.
How users can try ChatGPT Images 2.0
OpenAI says ChatGPT Images 2.0 is available to all ChatGPT and Codex users. To access the model, users can visit ChatGPT Images 2.0 and click on the “Try in ChatGPT” option. A new page opens with several visual styles for inspiration, including headshots, comics, 3D avatars, anime and more.
Users can select a style, upload an image they want to refine and allow ChatGPT to edit or recreate it. They can also choose the “Describe a New Image” option and generate a fresh image from a text prompt.

What makes it different
OpenAI said the model is its first image model with thinking capabilities. “To extend the model's capabilities for the most complex tasks, Images 2.0 is our first image model with thinking capabilities. When a thinking model is selected in ChatGPT, Images 2.0 can search the web for real-time information, create multiple distinct images from one prompt, and double-check its own outputs. With thinking, the model can take on even more of the heavy lifting between idea and image, especially when accuracy, up-to-date information, consistency, and visual cohesion matter most,” the company stated.
