OpenAI calls Flare "our fastest model for high-quality, everyday image generation" ([OpenAI](https://developers.openai.com/api/docs/models/gpt-image-2.5-flare)). - Work that GPT Image 2 already handles well, but faster. OpenAI's guide says: if GPT Image 2 meets your needs, test Flare for latency gains ([OpenAI](https://developers.openai.com/api/docs/guides/image-prompting)). - Banners and headers with a short headline. The Sale Offer Banner Set Space ([sloosh.ai/spaces/sale-offer-banner-set](https://sloosh.ai/spaces/sale-offer-banner-set)) and Email WhatsApp Header Space ([sloosh.ai/spaces/email-whatsapp-header](https://sloosh.ai/spaces/email-whatsapp-header)) fit this job. - Edits that keep a subject intact. OpenAI says both 2.5 models improve precise editing and subject preservation ([OpenAI](https://developers.openai.com/api/docs/guides/image-prompting)). ## How to use GPT Image 2.5 Flare in Sloosh 1. Open [Image Studio with Flare selected](https://sloosh.ai/studio/image?image-model=gpt-image-2.5-flare), or pick GPT Image 2.5 Flare in the model chip. 2. Add up to 16 references if you need them (drawer, paste, or Use as reference on a result). 3. Write the prompt: scene, subject and details, then any text in quotes and where it goes. 4. Set aspect ratio, resolution and quality. 5. Check the cost on the Generate button, then generate. Rerun the winner on Sunburst if a detail won't hold. ## GPT Image 2.5 Flare prompting tips - Lead with the result: subject, intended use, composition, placement ([OpenAI](https://developers.openai.com/api/docs/guides/image-prompting)). - Quote exact wording, describe position and type, and ask for no extra text; check spelling in the output ([OpenAI](https://developers.openai.com/api/docs/guides/image-prompting)). - Use medium or high quality for small text, dense information or several fonts ([OpenAI](https://developers.openai.com/api/docs/guides/image-prompting)). - Leave room for copy by saying where the empty space is ([Sloosh docs](https://sloosh.ai/docs/gpt-image-2-5-flare.md)). - Name materials, lighting, colours and medium instead of mood words; say "photorealistic" when you want that look ([OpenAI](https://developers.openai.com/api/docs/guides/image-prompting)). ## GPT Image 2.5 Flare example prompts **Prompt 1** ```text A bright flat-lay photo for a summer newsletter header. On a pale sand-coloured background: a straw hat, round sunglasses, a folded linen shirt and a glass bottle of sunscreen. Hard midday sunlight with crisp shadows. In the empty space on the right, the words "SUMMER EDIT" in bold black sans-serif capitals. No other text. ``` **Prompt 2** ```text A 4:5 Instagram ad. The sunglasses from image 1 rest on a striped beach towel in hard midday sun. The top third is empty pale sand. In that space, the headline "SUMMER SALE" in heavy black sans serif, and under it "Up to 40% off" in smaller type. Render each line once. ``` **Prompt 3** ```text Change only the background of image 1 to a bright kitchen counter in white stone, with a plant out of focus behind. Keep the blender, its size, position and the camera angle. Match the new light to the shadow already falling to the right. ``` ## How it compares in Sloosh | Model | Resolution | Quality levels | References | Positioning (maker) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | GPT Image 2.5 Flare | 1K, 2K, 4K | low to max (5) | 16 | small model, optimized for speed, quality comparable to GPT Image 2 | | [GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst](https://sloosh.ai/models/gpt-image-2.5-sunburst) | 1K, 2K, 4K | low to max (5) | 16 | base model, optimized for quality, higher than GPT Image 2 | | [GPT Image 2](https://sloosh.ai/models/gpt-image-2) | 1K, 2K, 4K | low, medium, high | 16 | previous generation | | [Nano Banana 2.1](https://sloosh.ai/models/gemini-nano-banana-2.1) | 1K, 2K, 4K | none | 14 | Google's "high-efficiency" image model | Positioning column from [OpenAI's prompting guide](https://developers.openai.com/api/docs/guides/image-prompting) and the [Gemini API changelog](https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/changelog). ## Where else it runs - OpenAI API, model GPT Image 2.5 Flare (OpenAI model page, accessed 2026-10-30). ## Frequently asked questions ### What is GPT Image 2.5 Flare?
