OpenAI released the Images 2.6 model to add GIF creation to ChatGPT. The update allows users to generate GIFs from text prompts or uploaded photos. Users can adjust animation speed and edit individual frames.
The model maintains character consistency across frames for flipbook-style animation. OpenAI reports users generate over 4 billion images per week across ChatGPT and the API. The Images 2.6 update is rolling out to all ChatGPT and Codex users on web, desktop, and mobile apps.
OpenAI is releasing the API models GPT-Image-2.6 ‘Flare’ and ‘Sunburst’ for developers. You can now animate your ideas directly in the chat interface without writing code.
