GPT Image 2
OpenAI’s flagship image model. Best-in-class text rendering and prompt adherence — at the cost of speed.
openai/gpt-image-2GPT Image 2 is the image generation backend behind ChatGPT. It’s the model to reach for when you need legible, accurately spelled text in an image, or when the prompt has unusual structural requirements that other models tend to ignore. The trade-off is speed: a typical generation takes 60–90 seconds, several times slower than its closest competitor.
Strengths
- ✓Text rendering is the best in class — legible signs, posters, memes.
- ✓Strict prompt adherence: it does what you say, not what it imagines.
- ✓Strong with structured layouts (infographics, posters, diagrams).
Weaknesses
- ✗Slow: 60–90 seconds per generation is normal.
- ✗Hands and complex anatomy still struggle.
- ✗Conservative content filter refuses many artistic requests.
