Flare is optimized for faster generation, while Sunburst provides tighter control for detailed creative work, and both support reference images for targeted edits. AI Gateway provides a unified API with no markup on inference and no platform fee, including for BYOK requests.", "body_md": "[GPT Image 2.5 Flare](https://vercel.com/ai-gateway/models/gpt-image-2.5-flare) and [GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst](https://vercel.com/ai-gateway/models/gpt-image-2.5-sunburst) from OpenAI are now available on AI Gateway as `openai/gpt-image-2.5-flare` and `openai/gpt-image-2.5-sunburst`.\n\nBoth models generate and edit images with more natural lighting and textures, follow complex visual instructions, and handle detailed layouts and transparent backgrounds. They accept reference images for targeted edits while preserving surrounding elements. Flare is optimized for faster generation and iteration. Sunburst takes longer to generate and offers tighter control for detailed creative work.\n\nUse `openai/gpt-image-2.5-flare` as the model name for faster generation:\n\nChange the model name to `openai/gpt-image-2.5-sunburst` when the result needs more precise control over composition and detail.\n\nFor targeted editing, pass an image alongside the instruction. This example uses Sunburst:\n\nTry [Flare](https://vercel.com/ai-gateway/models/gpt-image-2.5-flare) or [Sunburst](https://vercel.com/ai-gateway/models/gpt-image-2.5-sunburst) in the model playground.\n\nAI Gateway provides a unified API for calling models, tracking usage and cost, and configuring retries, failover, and performance optimizations for higher-than-provider uptime.
