GPT Image 2.6: text, GIFs and prompts that work

What GPT Image 2.6 is

The new image model from OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, released on November 4, 2026. You write what you want in words, you can attach a picture, and it returns a picture or a GIF.

Why 2.6 is better than 2.5

Animated GIFs from words and from a picture, a faster Flare, better layout on Flare according to OpenAI, better consistency between edits on Sunburst, and a choice of how much the model plans before drawing. 2.5 lets you fix the same picture later in the conversation. A picture costs the same on Cadabra AI.

Why on Cadabra AI and not directly in ChatGPT

You choose the model, quality, resolution and planning yourself, with no code. You see the price before every run, and a run with no result gives its credits back. The picture carries on to video, voice and editing on one account. You can also connect Cadabra AI inside ChatGPT and Claude.

What changed in GPT Image 2.6

Two models, fast Flare and precise Sunburst, a choice of how much the model plans before it draws, and animated GIFs. It is live on Cadabra AI, on the site and through the connector for Claude and ChatGPT.

Six examples with Hebrew in the picture

A billboard, a menu with prices, a product shot with a label, a 1950s print ad, an infographic and a boxed action figure, each with the exact prompt and its price in credits.

How to make a GIF with GPT Image 2.6

A GIF from words up to 16 frames, a GIF from your own picture in 6 frames, and how to make a GIF inside ChatGPT. Four rules for a smooth loop: a locked camera, the end returns to the start, one small movement, and Sunburst when there is text.

Flare vs Sunburst

Flare for ideas and pictures with no text, from one credit. Sunburst for Hebrew, labels and edits, from two credits. Each reference picture adds one credit.
