Official model names, Sunburst versus Flare, availability on Vife, and what the current image tool can do.

Can I generate with GPT Image 2.5 on Vife now?
Image 2.5 is not yet available on Vife. This page explains the new models, while the working image tool starts with ChatGPT Image 2. The model selector identifies the actual model before you submit a request.
How do Sunburst and Flare differ?
OpenAI positions Sunburst for its strongest image generation and editing, especially precise edits. Flare prioritizes fast, high-quality everyday generation. Both accept text and image inputs. Choose based on the workflow and inspect the result rather than expecting a guaranteed outcome.
Which quality settings do the 2.5 models support?
OpenAI documents low, medium, high, xhigh, max, and auto quality settings for Sunburst and Flare. These are the official models' settings; Vife's current ChatGPT Image 2 tool has its own supported settings shown in the composer.
Does the price below apply to GPT Image 2.5?
The pricing examples below apply to ChatGPT Image 2 on Vife. Vife has not published an Image 2.5 generation price. OpenAI says the 2.5 token rates match GPT Image 2, but its Image 2 calculator does not estimate Image 2.5 token consumption, so that does not establish an identical per-image cost.
How can I create an image with Vife today?
Use the ChatGPT Image 2 model selected in the image tool, describe the subject, composition, lighting, and text you want, and add a reference when useful. Review the selected model and credit cost before generating, then inspect the output before downloading or sharing it.
Is Vife the official OpenAI or ChatGPT website?
Vife is an independent AI workspace. OpenAI publishes the official GPT Image model documentation linked on this page. Vife plans, credits, and available models are specific to Vife.
