What is GPT Image 2?
Think of it as the brain upgrade ChatGPT got for images. GPT Image 2 (also called ChatGPT Image 2.0 or gpt-image-2) is OpenAI's latest image generation model, released as a successor to DALL·E 3 and GPT Image 1. It generates photorealistic images with sharp, readable 4K text — the thing previous AI image models always got wrong.
The model behind ChatGPT Images 2.0 understands long Chinese, Japanese, Korean and Arabic prompts natively. It renders typography that survives screenshots. It composes layouts that ship.

What GPT Image 2 still can't do (honest answer)
It's not perfect. GPT Image 2 sometimes struggles with: hands with exact finger counts, real-world brand logos, NSFW content (refused by policy), and consistent characters across many images. Nano Banana Pro is faster if you don't need text rendering. Z-Image is 8× cheaper if you're sketching ideas.
We tell you this so you know exactly when to use it — and when not to.
