Model summary
GPT Image 2.6 is OpenAI’s newest image model and Glif’s default for images. It creates images from text and edits them from written instructions, with up to 10 reference images and an optional mask. It’s good at keeping characters consistent and getting text right in posters, ads and infographics. Glif offers two variants at the same price: Flare is about twice as fast, and Sunburst is slower with tighter control for precise edits. Backgrounds are solid unless you ask for a transparent one. Glif charges by OpenAI’s token usage; larger sizes, higher quality and more reference images cost more.
