In summary:
- OpenAI launched GPT Image 1.5, delivering 4x faster image generation and improved editing accuracy for ChatGPT and API users worldwide.
- PCWorld reports the update includes a new creative studio mode with an image tab for enhanced editing capabilities and filter applications.
- The accelerated release aims to compete with Google’s recent AI advancements while addressing consistency issues in consecutive image adjustments.
OpenAI has launched its newest image model GPT Image 1.5, which offers up to 4 times faster image generation, more accurate image editing, and better compliance with user instructions.
One of the more noticeable improvements is that the new version should provide more consistent results between consecutive edits. For example, when adjusting lighting, facial expressions, or color tone on a specific image, GPT Image should no longer make drastic unwanted changes—something many AI image tools have difficulty with.
At the same time, ChatGPT also has a new image tab that acts as a creative studio mode, where users can edit images, be inspired by trends, and apply ready-made filters.
The new GPT Image 1.5 model is rolling out to all ChatGPT users and API users globally across surfaces. It works across ChatGPT models, so you don’t need to select anything in order to use it.
TechCrunch reports that GPT Image 1.5 was originally slated for release in January 2026 but has been rushed to take up the fight against Google, who recently strengthened its position in the AI market with Gemini 3 and its virally impressive Nano Banana Pro image model.
