GPT Image 2.5 Flare prioritizes fast output. The checkpoint accepts text and image inputs and can be controlled through the Image API and Responses API with low, medium, high, xhigh, max, and auto quality settings.

This is not a general chat checkpoint. OpenAI lists text as input only, image as input and output, and audio and video as unsupported. Alongside the undated model ID, OpenAI documents a published dated snapshot. The weights are proprietary, and access runs through the API.
