OpenAI has rolled out an updated version of ChatGPT Images, powered by its latest image generation model. The new update significantly improves performance, offering image generation speeds that are up to four times faster while enabling more accurate and controlled edits that preserve key visual details.
Alongside the model upgrade, OpenAI has also introduced a new Images interface within ChatGPT to make image creation and discovery more intuitive.
ChatGPT now includes a dedicated Images home to support easier access. This new space is available via the mobile app sidebar and on chatgpt.com, and features preset prompts and filters designed for quick experimentation. These presets will be refreshed regularly to reflect emerging trends in image creation.

The refreshed ChatGPT Images model places a strong emphasis on precision. It follows user instructions more reliably, altering only the specified elements of an image while maintaining lighting, composition, and overall appearance. This makes it well-suited for tasks such as realistic photo edits, consistent virtual try-ons for clothing or hairstyles, and image transformations that retain essential details.

Users can now add, remove, blend, combine, or transpose elements within an image without disrupting its core content. The model also supports creative transformations, including adding text, changing layouts, and applying stylistic filters.
OpenAI has introduced presets that allow users to explore these creative options without needing to write a prompt. Improvements to instruction-following mean the model better maintains relationships between elements in both original images and edits, resulting in more consistent outputs.
Text rendering has also been enhanced with the updated model handling denser and smaller text more accurately than earlier versions. Additional quality upgrades include improved rendering of small faces and more natural-looking images overall.
OpenAI has also confirmed that the GPT Image 1.5 API includes the same improvements found in ChatGPT Images. The API offers stronger preservation of important visuals and logos, making it suitable for marketing, branding, and e-commerce product catalogue use cases.
OpenAI says image generation and input/output processing are 20% cheaper compared to GPT Image 1, allowing developers to run more iterations within the same budget.
The updated ChatGPT Images model is now available globally for all ChatGPT and API users. The previous version of ChatGPT Images will continue to be accessible as a custom GPT. The new Images interface is rolling out to most users now with Business and Enterprise access planned for a later phase.
Separately, OpenAI’s parent company is reportedly in discussions with Amazon over a major investment. According to a Financial Times report, Amazon.com is considering investing around $10 billion in OpenAI, a deal that could value the artificial intelligence firm at more than $500 billion.
Citing a source familiar with the matter, the report said talks between Amazon and OpenAI are “very fluid.” The discussions highlight OpenAI’s growing ability to partner broadly following its transition away from its original non-profit structure and the restructuring of its relationship with Microsoft.
Under the Microsoft deal, OpenAI was reshaped into a public benefit corporation controlled by a non-profit entity that retains a stake in its financial success. This move removed key limitations on OpenAI’s ability to raise capital and secure large-scale computing resources.
Microsoft currently holds a 27% stake in OpenAI and has exclusive rights to sell OpenAI’s models to its cloud customers. The Information, which first reported the Amazon talks, also said OpenAI plans to use Amazon’s Trainium chips, which compete with offerings from Nvidia and Google.
