GPT Image 2.6 API, also referred to as ChatGPT Images 2.6, is coming to Muapi. OpenAI released it on November 4, 2026 with two API models, GPT-Image-2.6 Flare and GPT-Image-2.6 Sunburst, plus animated GIF output, image markup, SVG export and a new complexity setting. This page will become the home for verified Muapi model IDs, schemas, pricing and API examples once the integration is live.
GPT Image 2.6 API is not available on Muapi yet
Final model names (GPT-Image-2.6 Flare and GPT-Image-2.6 Sunburst), supported parameters, pricing and launch timing will be published after Muapi completes and tests the integration. Until then, every active link below opens a live GPT Image 2.5 model — same Flare and Sunburst tiers, same API-key workflow.
The fast tier of GPT Image 2.6 — OpenAI says it can finish in as little as six seconds at low quality, with improved layout for posters and product imagery. Not available on Muapi yet; this card opens the live 2.5 Flare endpoint.
The quality tier of GPT Image 2.6 — more detail and consistency at medium and high quality. Not available on Muapi yet; this card opens the live 2.5 Sunburst endpoint.
Fast instruction-based editing with GPT-Image-2.6 Flare. Not available on Muapi yet; this card opens the live 2.5 Flare edit endpoint.
Higher-consistency instruction-based editing with GPT-Image-2.6 Sunburst. Not available on Muapi yet; this card opens the live 2.5 Sunburst edit endpoint.

OpenAI released ChatGPT Images 2.6 on November 4, 2026 across ChatGPT and Codex, and added two models to its API: GPT-Image-2.6 Flare, built for fast iteration and improved layout quality on posters, product imagery and professional visuals, and GPT-Image-2.6 Sunburst, built for higher quality and more consistency across edits at medium and high quality. OpenAI says the release is 50% faster than before.
Muapi will publish a tested API surface — exact model IDs, accepted inputs, output formats and pricing — rather than placeholder endpoints, so nothing on this page should be read as a live GPT Image 2.6 endpoint yet.
In the meantime, GPT Image 2.5 Flare and Sunburst are live on Muapi through one REST API, and GPT Image 2 remains available too. Use the image playground to compare them against Nano Banana Pro, Seedream and the rest of the catalog.
Generate looping GIFs for mascots, reactions and animated storyboards. In OpenAI's API this is a generations-endpoint feature with a frame count of 2–64 and a frame duration of 20–2000 ms; the edit endpoint does not support GIF.
Markup, previously ChatGPT-only, now reaches the API so edits can target exactly the region you point at.
SVG output intended for websites, apps and print, per OpenAI's launch post.
A new parameter that controls how much the model plans before drawing. OpenAI recommends low for most edits and medium or high for scenes with many elements.
OpenAI reports the release is 50% faster than before, and that Flare can generate in as little as six seconds at low quality.
GPT-Image-2.6 Flare for drafts and volume, GPT-Image-2.6 Sunburst for final-pass quality and edit consistency.
| Item | GPT Image 2.6 | GPT Image 2.5 (live on Muapi) |
|---|---|---|
| Availability on Muapi | Coming soon | Live today — Flare and Sunburst, text-to-image and editing. |
| API tiers | Flare and Sunburst (per OpenAI) | Flare and Sunburst. |
| GIF, markup, SVG, complexity | Announced by OpenAI; Muapi support pending | Not part of the 2.5 release. |
| Muapi pricing | Not announced | From $0.06/image. |
| Muapi API examples | Published after integration | Working cURL examples on the GPT Image 2.5 page. |
Not yet. This is an upcoming-product page. Muapi does not currently publish a GPT-Image-2.6 Flare or Sunburst endpoint, playground model, price or launch date.
ChatGPT Images 2.6 is OpenAI's November 4, 2026 image update. It adds GIF output, image markup, SVG export and a complexity setting, and brings two models, Flare and Sunburst, to the API.
Per OpenAI, Flare is the fast tier for quick iteration and improved layout quality, and Sunburst is the higher-quality tier with more consistency across edits at medium and high quality.
OpenAI's API supports GIF output on its generations endpoint (not the edit endpoint), with frame count from 2 to 64 and frame duration from 20 to 2000 ms. Whether and how Muapi exposes these parameters will be documented once the integration is live.
Yes. GPT Image 2.5 Flare and Sunburst and GPT Image 2 are available now, with the same API key you will use for 2.6.
Muapi has not announced GPT Image 2.6 pricing. Verified per-image pricing will be published when the models go live.
