ChatGPT Images 2.0 uses a new model that overcomes diffusion-driven spelling errors and renders small text, icons, and UI elements cleanly at up to 2K resolution. It adds web search, multi-image prompts, and support for non-Latin scripts, with knowledge capped at December 2025. All ChatGPT and Codex users get access Tuesday, with paid tiers unlocking higher-quality outputs and an API.

• ChatGPT's new Images 2.0 model renders text, icons, and UI elements accurately at up to 2K resolution, fixing the garbled-text problem that plagued earlier diffusion-based image generators
• It adds "thinking" features like web search, multi-image generation per prompt, and self-verification of outputs, plus cleaner rendering of non-Latin scripts (Japanese, Korean, Hindi, Bengali)
• Training data is capped at December 2025, so it may fumble very recent events
• Rolling out Tuesday to all ChatGPT and Codex users, with paid tiers getting higher-quality output and a new gpt-image-2 API priced by resolution and fidelity

OpenAI has rolled out ChatGPT Images 2.0, its upgraded image-generation feature within ChatGPT. The update adds multiple output modes—classic, horizontal, square, and vertical—for more flexible image creation directly in the chat interface.

• Generation speed dropped from about 7 seconds to roughly 3 seconds per image
• New aspect-ratio presets (Horizontal, Square, Vertical) eliminate manual dimension prompts
• Reference injection lets users upload a sample image to blend its style with a text prompt
• Image generation and editing now happen directly inside ChatGPT threads instead of a separate tool
