OpenAI Publishes Image 2.6 Prompt Guide for Developers
The guide covers prompts for photos, ads, infographics, logos and GIF animations, and introduces complexity and quality settings for GPT-Image-2.6.
OpenAI published an "Image 2.6 prompt guide" in its developer documentation on the 7th, according to aitimes.com. The model is listed in the developer API as GPT-Image-2.6.
The guide covers prompt writing and worked examples for photos, ads, infographics, logos and GIF animations. It also introduces two new settings, complexity and quality. Complexity controls how deeply composition and element placement are planned before generation, while quality affects visual detail such as textures and small text.
GPT-Image-2.6 ships with two models: a lightweight option named Flare and a default named Sunburst. The documentation recommends testing Flare first when speed matters, and Sunburst for complex compositions or precise edits.
For GIF animations, the guide advises linking the start and end of the motion and specifying camera movement. For logos, it notes that SVG format can be used to keep quality when resizing.
