OpenAI has launched native animated GIF generation alongside its Images 2.6 model for ChatGPT and Codex users on desktop, mobile, and web. The feature enables creators to modify individual frames, customize playback speeds, and easily share their resulting animated files. Furthermore, the underlying model upgrade accelerates image creation speeds across the board. For external developers, OpenAI introduced the GPT-Image-2.6 Flare and Sunburst options to its API to boost generation speed and output quality.
