About this model
GPT Image 2.5 Flare Text to Image is OpenAI's newest image model, announced September 8, 2026, generating high-fidelity images from detailed text prompts with sharper detail, richer textures, and up to 50% lower latency than GPT Image 2. GPT-Image-2.5 Flare is OpenAI's default, fastest tier — the same quality and editing gains as GPT Image 2.5 at up to 50% lower latency than GPT Image 2. Muapi is bringing GPT Image 2.5 online as soon as OpenAI opens general API access. See GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst for the higher-precision tier.

Configuration schema
| Parameter | Type | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| Prompt | string | Text prompt describing the image to generate. Maximum 20,000 characters. | A girl doing livestream makeup tutorials while tiny workers inside her mirror physically repaint the reflection in real time, miniature ladders, paint buckets, glowing vanity lights, cluttered modern bedroom aesthetic, insanely detailed reflections, playful surreal realism, highly creative composition, luxury commercial quality. |
| Aspect Ratio | Enum (10 options) | Output image aspect ratio. Note: images with aspect ratio 'auto' (or unspecified) will only be converted to 1K; 1:1 cannot be converted to 4K — otherwise the task will fail to create. | auto |
| Resolution | Enum (3 options) | Image resolution. Note: images with a 1:1 aspect ratio cannot be converted to 4K. Images with aspect ratio 'auto' (or unspecified) will only be converted to 1K; otherwise the task will fail to create. | 2K |
| Quality | Enum (3 options) | Generation quality. 'low' and 'medium' use a faster, cheaper backend; 'high' uses the higher-fidelity backend. | high |

Write your prompt — describe the subject, style, lighting, and composition. GPT Image 2.5 follows complex, multi-part instructions more reliably than GPT Image 2.
Set aspect_ratio, resolution, and quality — once live, call the endpoint below and poll for the result:
curl -X POST https://api.muapi.ai/api/v1/gpt-image-2.5-flare-text-to-image \
-H "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"prompt": "A hyperrealistic portrait of an astronaut on Martian dunes at golden hour", "aspect_ratio": "16:9", "resolution": "2K"}'

GPT Image 2.5 is OpenAI's newest image model, announced September 8, 2026, powering ChatGPT Images 2.5 and two new API models: GPT-Image-2.5 Flare and GPT-Image-2.5 Sunburst.
Not yet. This endpoint is in early access with OpenAI. Muapi will enable it as soon as general API access opens — no action needed on your part.
Flare is the default, fastest tier with the same quality and editing gains as GPT Image 2.5. Use [GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst](/playground/gpt-image-2.5-sunburst-text-to-image) if you need the higher-precision tier instead.
GPT Image 2.5 has better reference-photo fidelity, more precise single-element editing, more reliable multi-turn consistency, and up to 50% lower generation latency than GPT Image 2.
Yes. [GPT Image 2](/playground/gpt-image-2-text-to-image) text-to-image and image editing are live now while GPT Image 2.5 is in development.
Create a free Muapi account and API key today — the gpt-image-2.5-flare-text-to-image endpoint will activate automatically for existing users once OpenAI opens general availability.
