OpenAI launches ChatGPT Images 2 with 2K resolution and two-mode generation
OpenAI has released ChatGPT Images 2, an upgraded image generation model that produces images up to 2K resolution in multiple aspect ratios. The model is available now to ChatGPT users.
Key specifications
ChatGPT Images 2 generates images up to 2K resolution, a significant upgrade from previous versions. The model supports multiple aspect ratios and ships with two distinct modes:
- Instant: Fast image generation
- Thinking: Reasoning-based generation mode
Pricing details have not been disclosed.
Capabilities
According to OpenAI, ChatGPT Images 2 can create complete magazine layouts, addressing a key use case for professional design work. The model includes improved text generation within images, which has been a persistent weakness in earlier image generation systems.
The model can access current web information before generating images, allowing it to incorporate up-to-date context into outputs.
Enterprise coding updates
Alongside the image model release, OpenAI announced Codex Labs, an enterprise-focused program for its Codex coding assistant. The program brings OpenAI experts into organizations through workshops and working sessions to help teams integrate Codex into existing workflows.
OpenAI describes Codex's enterprise capabilities: "Teams are using Codex to pull together context from different tools, reason through what matters, and turn scattered information into useful work—like briefs, plans, checklists, drafts, and follow-ups—and then take action."
The announcement follows recent Codex updates including agentic computer use based on OpenAI's Sky Software acquisition, an in-app browser, and built-in image generation.
What this means
The dual-mode architecture (Instant and Thinking) suggests OpenAI is applying reasoning approaches to image generation, similar to patterns seen in text models like o1. The 2K resolution and professional layout capabilities position ChatGPT Images 2 as a tool for production design work, not just casual image generation. The enterprise push with Codex Labs indicates OpenAI is prioritizing B2B revenue streams beyond its consumer ChatGPT product.
