How we compared the models
This pair comes from a published comparison dated 11 September 2026. Its method specifies the same prompt, 1:1 format, 2K resolution and Standard quality for both models, with one result each. We imported the published 1200 × 1200 WebP previews without cropping, resizing or retouching. These examples were not generated through our API.
These are two individual visual examples. They do not measure speed, reliability or cost per approved image. The brief below is a summary, not the original prompt or a request recorded on our API.
Results from the same brief
GPT Image 2.5 Flare

Example brief and settings
The brief is summarized; this is not the exact original prompt.

GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst

Example brief and settings
The brief is summarized; this is not the exact original prompt.
1{2 "model": "gpt-image-2.5-sunburst",3 "brief": "A soft three-dimensional cloud character with glossy eyes, pink cheeks and pastel edges against a white background.",4 "settings": {5 "aspectRatio": "1:1",6 "resolution": "2K",7 "quality": "standard"8 }9}
Cost for this scenario: 1:1, 2K
The published run used Standard quality. That is not a verified match for the quality settings of our API routes, so no like-for-like charge is assigned to these images. Current starting prices and supported parameters remain in the model table below.
Which model to try for your task
Choose an empty-state illustration
For this brief, choose between the more level, symmetrical cloud and the tilted, softer silhouette. Inspect each at your actual display size; the full-size preview alone does not tell you which works better in a compact interface.
Keep a character consistent across screens
Approve one character as a reference and review later variations against its outline, face and palette. These text-only samples do not test character consistency across a sequence.
Budget your own API request
Use the model page to choose your supported settings and inspect its quote. Standard-quality examples from another service do not establish the price, waiting time or output of our route.
